It's far from a perfect film, but what it manages to do is it gets you to care about these characters and what they're going through. I feel like I know more about these five in 2 hours than I do about the original MMPR cast in 100+ episodes.

Definietly worth your time, especially if you are or use to be a Power Rangers fan.
Just saw this tonight too. Not sure I was shocked either way. It was ok, IMO. While I agree that character development was well-layered, I felt it hurt the pacing of the film; we didn't get to see them morph until about the last quarter of the film or so.

Goldar was terrible, but Rita was on point, and there was a nice fan-service cameo at the end. All the pre-release theories about the plot turned out to be true. The individual zords themselves looked better as a team than the combined Megazord look....a bit bummed about how they handled the combining process, and while the overall look of Megazord isn't as bad as the toys implied, it's still not great. The first time I laid eyes on a the movie toys, I thought Megazord looked like he was wearing fishnet stockings, lol.

At least with origin stories out of the way, hopefully the inevitable sequel is better because of you-know-who's-coming-next (for those that saw it already). Heard the showrunners supposedly have enough content in mind to make 5 more of these?!

Rouge One definietly works better as a stand alone movie. But I found myself enjoying Rouge One less on my second viewing.

Not to say it wasn't a fantastic movie, it was...it was just hard to get into it knowing what happens to these characters by the end of it.

Donnie Yen and K2SO are probably the best things about Rouge One

Re: Movie Talk (Possible Spoilers)

Ridley Scott gave us a little gift today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivv5ef4TDNw

So...Shaw / Noomi Rapace will be in "Alien: Convenant" in some capacity after all. Aside from Fassbender returning I wasn't sure how much "Prometheus" there'd be in the new one.

I'm actually looking forward to this and may have to endure a second screening of "Prometheus" after all. I honestly have had no desire to watch that turd again until now.

Ya...but that can be said of all reboots and rehashes.

Midichlorians, anyone?

Scott couldn't just show the Jockey and be like "there's that fucked up looking Jockey from the old film, folks!". You revisit something to expand on it. And he chose to expand it...poorly.
