Okay, so lets get this out of the way, "Is this series stupid and corny like the last 10 Disney series?" no, its freaking awesome! Fans of the original show, children, Super Sentai fans, and people who never got into power rangers will absolutely LOVE this show!!! It has more mature themes while still being accessible to the younger audience. Saban And Nickelodeon have really done a great job to make this series as accessible, enjoyable, and just amazing as it could be. Unlike traditional Power Rangers, Samurai takes it themes, story lines, and tone seriously, while keeping for the most part, light hearted. The series actually follows the Japanese series Shinkenger quite well, while changing things unfamiliar with the American audience, but still keeping a strong, well maintained storyline. Check it out!!!

I WILL NOT avoid the fact that the acting and CGI is absolutely nuts and quite hilarious, but not gonna lie, this was AND STILL IS my go-to comfort show. Not as good as I remember it as a kid, but now as a young adult it still has that comforting charm for me. The nostalgia is extremely strong and I'm so glad I can rewatch it.

This.. was surprisingly the kinda stuff I watched and enjoyed as a kid. But as a teen, not at all. The acting is painfully bad, and the plot is a recycled piece of crap. They start out every episode happy, then oh no! A bad guy is causing trouble in the city. They fight him once but fail. They focus on one power ranger at a time for every episode to overcome that struggle, one to 3 dozen cheesy motivational lines later, they encounter their foe again. They beat him with what they learned, the foe grows bigger. They defeat him/her every time and turn to pose in their incredibly kiddish and poorly made CGI samurai mech as their enemy explodes. A very boring and predictable formula that makes very few variations between episodes. They change things up occasionally but there's no point cause you always know they're going to win. Not that every super hero eel movie/show doesn't do that but there are no twists, no good character developments, nothing. A very harmless show that is fine for kids but not great for teens/adults. But you'd be better off putting you and/or your kids in front of something like Avatar the Last Airbender, or Gravity Falls, or Star vs The Forces Of Evil.

Overall not the worst I've ever seen but far from the best.

5/10

when I first watched this show I was cracking in laughter over how bad the acting, special effects, story, costumes and jokes are. It was just absolutely hilarious (that doesn't mean I like it though) acting: out of the piles of movies, TV shows and youtube clips I have seen I have never seen acting as horrid as this, they were either too dramatic or too...gay... special effects: with the special effects in this show at the level they are, an ipod could do better spfx. They were extremely sloppy and ridiculously fake, the producers shouldve thought about who to hire for their special effects as clearly youtube videos have had better special effects with LESS BUDGET. Plot: no...just...no... costumes: HOW COULD THE CIVILIANS OF THE EARTH BELIEVE THAT THOSE PLASTIC HUNKS OF FAKE ARE MONSTERS?!?! I mean those mouths just go up and down and are far from being in sync with the crappy voice actors, I remember once seeing an official critics review of a show so bad its not funny, its called monsuno, the review praised monsuno and my god that writer was blind and deaf times 10. What I am saying is that anyone who legitimately loves this show is just weird... Phrases: AAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!! Overall: when the original p r was made by saban i just hated it, but Disney saved it and made fantastic series followups which i loved, but then samurai came and killed everything, and now with mega force on the way in aus (which is where i live, where it hasn't released yet) who knows what horror us Aussies must face.
