maxmages As someone who is himself Power Rangers fan is true I am really excited. As someone who shoots shorts and fan-films with his own camera I was twice as excited.I can not tell if I find the movie too serious or not serious enough. The fights are super choreographed but the blood effects are a little cheap but not trashy enough, the background music is exciting but I hate Dubstep and often the music is too loud, I expected self-irony but the missing here. In any case, the myth of the Power Rangers was continued and expanded somewhat.It is of course very high quality produced and I think someone is reading "Ghost in the Shell". My problem, however, is that I do not quite notice how that is meant. Is it a Bad Ass 18+ version of the Power Rangers? Or is it a bloody parody? If it is meant as a parody, then it is well done but a little too reserved for my taste. If it was planned as Bad Ass Power Rangers version ... Then, GO ALL OUT! Why is Tommy's Vest Digital animated?I can not stand it at all, when we have these super serious, super dark Sci-Fi movies and all the people are only whispering to each other, I know it should be more serious and threatening, but we can not understand a word. And the Dubstep in the background dose not help. I also did not like that the film is not stylized enough, just for a parody would it kinda word, but the obvious problems of the PowerRangers franchise are not addressed. Like: Why do they fidget around as soon as they put on the suits? Why do the robots and Zords have eyes? If Zordon trapped Rita in the space dumpster, he could have just told the people of Earth to not freaking open the space dumpster. Seriously, What the hell has he been doing for the past 10,000 years?Why do the Villains only attack where the power rangers live? How come the extremist juxtaposition of subtleties involving numerous existential schema are even profound of non established Power Ranger concepts?Spoiler questions: Where is Zordan? Where is Lord Zedd? At what time are we? Is this the past, the future, the future of an alternative universe? If it takes place after the Zordan era why is Rita still evil? Where are the Megazords? Where in the world does this movie play? Where is Alpha 5?PS: One of the sub themes in this film is about child soldiers and I call bullshit on that. that. (except for Power Rangers: Samurai)

Terryfan Now growing up like many kids of the 90s I was addicted to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Never in my wildest dreams would Image that we would see ourselves getting a more mature more graphic and shocking take of Power Rangers. Be Warned: This is not Power Rangers for kids. It features Adult Language, Adult Content, Drugs, Blood and Gore it just a very violence take of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.The plot centers around Kimberly/Pink (Katee Sackhoff) who is being questioned by Rocky (James Van Der Beek) who turned traitor and join the Machine Empire. He questions her for the whereabouts of Tommy (Russ Bain).As the plot goes on it is reveal on what becomes of each Power Ranger and let me tell you it is shocking and appalling to learn. I know it's a fan film but it will leave you speechless. To be fair the effects in this film are impressive for a fan film. Goes to show that independent films can hold their own in the visual department so it feels like watching a true video game master. That's impressive.Katee and James performances are pretty good they brought some credit to the film. Plus the plot twist will make you go I can't believe that happened. Just be warn this is not a film for Children it is very dark. It is just what the adult fans were looking for. I give Power/Rangers an 7 out of 10

MortalKombatFan1 This fan film from Jospeh Kahn and Adi Shankar is a dark and gritty retelling on the Power Rangers story. It's like a cross between Watchmen and Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, with the frame of the story is an interrogation between Rocky DeSantos (James Van Der Beek) and Kimberly Hart - the pink ranger (Katee Sackhoff), this sets up for several bloody action scenes that are tightly shot and well choreographed, explaining the demise of the other rangers after their team disbanded when the finished fighting aliens as teenagers (so it's a sort of sequel to the TV show, but much more serious)The movie has a nice pace to it and probably one of the best fan movie's I've seen. This is probably because the makers are from Hollywood themselves and know the material well enough to change it without tarnishing the original while still making a well crafted movie. It's been making rounds on the internet, scoring over 15 million hits on YouTube and beating a take down suit from the original creators. "Power/Rangers" is a success and if fans had their way, I'm sure they'd approve of a feature film to be based on this take on the Power Rangers story.

estebangonzalez10 "When two empires declare war, neither side is innocent"Thanks to the popularity this short film was receiving over the internet I decided to check it out despite never being a fan of the Power Rangers or knowing anything about the characters. I remember glancing at it a couple of times during my childhood, but it all seemed a bit too silly for my taste. My appreciation for this film is affected by my lack of knowledge about these characters because the short does require you have some background information about who these people are in order to understand what is going on. It is a fan film so the more you know about the series the better off you are. I still have to admit that I was entertained with the action sequences and some of the performances. I found the visuals pretty solid and its short running time does go by very quickly. There has been a fascination in mainstream audiences for grittier and darker films and comics. We've seen it in several comic books that have turned away from the childish elements and focused on adult themes. In movies we've experienced it most recently with the Batman franchise and in the James Bonds films to name a few. We've shifted gears from the innocent and fun playfulness of those screenplays to much more serious and grittier ones. Joseph Kahn knows this all to well and so he decided to have fun with the beloved childhood characters by directing this dark version of the Power Rangers. It is a parody that is aimed to shock audiences who grew up loving these characters. The lead characters in this film are played by Katee Sackhoff and James Van Der Beek who have an interesting verbal face off. She is playing Kimberly (Pink Ranger) and he is Rocky. We get some flashbacks as well of what has happened with the rest of the Rangers. Gichi Gamba gets a decent amount of screen time playing Zack (Black Ranger) and he gets the most interesting action sequences as he faces off some Japanese gangsters. There is also an interesting twist at the end of the film. Overall I found this an enjoyable short film with solid visuals and good performances, but I wasn't in to it as much because I really didn't know much about the characters. http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/
