Power Rangers Mystic Force

This is my first review, for a show that's been on for awhile, but I'm bored.

Anyways, this season is a very mixed one. So far, many people say that this is one of the worst. I beg to differ. It starts out very slow. The theme is rap, which I don't believe, but whatever. It's OK, but compared to others, not to good, but still enjoyable.

Taking place in New Zealand does not ruin anything except for a couple accents, but not that it matters.

I would NOT say this is one of the worst, it's very enjoyable, if you continue to watch. Kind of like Jungle Fury, RPM or Dino Thunder, in my opinion. The capes... don't do it for me. They don't fit but it's just a nitpick. The acting it, average for Power Rangers. The story is also average. Practically everything else is average about this series.

I do like the concept of magical and mystical things. It's also not executed badly, but not great.

So I would recommend it, but not for hardcore PR fans or People who I guess don't like magical things. Overall, it's a very enjoyable season.

I have been a Power Rangers fan off and on for the past 13 years. Over those 13 years the Power Rangers have gone from cultural phenomena to cult classic and has had its ups and downs in quality. This time around it has bottomed out when it comes to quality. This is with out a doubt in my mind the worst ranger series in memory. The acting is terrible, even for a children's show, the storyline is weak at best, and the characters are laughable attempts at rehashing some of the great characters of old, namely Bridge. Some basic problems: 1) Constant breaks in accent with Chip and Madison (Is what you get when you go for local over quality) 2) What's with the Harry Potter getup? Are they trying to get sued by JK Rowling? 3) Again with the reluctant Red Ranger. Since pinky didn't like her colour, why not make her the reluctant ranger 4) A sixth ranger at the beginning, and the bad guy turned good storyline starting so soon. WTH 5) A regression to the 1993 to 1996 cheese ball PR series, instead of continuing with the growth and maturity that PR received over the years with the seriousness of In Space, Time Force et al. Disney has failed to live up to its commitment it should fell towards the fans of the show. The failure to produce any sizable DVD collection, the failure to grow the show, the failure to compete any sizable resources to the show and the failure to use quality actors have all been shortcomings of the Rangers series since Disney took over. Disney has screwed up far to many things, and now they are screwing up the much beloved Power Rangers.

Power Rangers was originally a karate (gongfu/kungfu) based series. The actors were clearly drawn from either gymnasts or martial arts disciplines. Over time, however, they've depended less and less on martial arts and phyiscal stunt choreography more and more on special effects. This series looks like the next step in this wrong direction. Maybe things will get better, as it was only the first, introductory episode. But I don't have much hope, as they seem to be using actors with little or no martial arts skill at all. In fact, at least 3 of the actors seem to be dancers. That provides flexibility and body control to do some martial arts-like moves, I guess, but they don't seem to give them the chance. And the morphing sequence is ridiculously long. It takes nearly 30 seconds per Ranger. What are the bad guys gonna do while 2.5 minutes pass? Just sit there and play gin rummy?

Maybe it's a little early to know for sure, but it seems like the worst Power Rangers group ever.

When I first heard about this show and it's storyline involving magic, I was horrified. Magic always ruins a show like this. But later when I saw the commercials for the show I went way beyond horrified and began digging my own grave.

Still, I decided every show deserves a chance and caught the first episode and am I glad that I did. This show is way better than I had expected. The stories, characters and the action are all great. Not only that but this show is also a comedy.

I still wish that the people who make these shows would keep characters from previous seasons or at least some of the characters so that viewers have more confidence in the new shows. I would be great to have that feeling that I felt during the "MMPR" through "In Space" back again. The though the Space Rangers where not the originals, they were in TURBO which allowed us to get to know them and have more reason to watch "In Space". Bridge should have been the Red Mystic Ranger, but hey, that's just my opinion.

All in all this is a great show and deserves a look from any Power Rangers fan.

Why simply because of the characters that appear in this one it had a story and good mystic vibe to it.
