Power Rangers Samurai

Well what can i say, Saban have really done a great job with Power Rangers Samurai, it has a feeling of the "Zordon Era" and the stories and characters seem a lot easier to relate to than at times during the "disney era". The opening theme is a modified version of the original Mighty Morphin and this is definitely a good thing, a small negative is that the season's first episode is slightly different to normal first episodes but you will have to watch it to see what i mean. Overall a very good return for the Power Rangers and i hope you will watch and enjoy it like i do.

Rangers Together Samurai Forever

This series was refreshingly fun and full of B-movie fun except in a TV series.

It seemed to accept it was going to be cheesy and from episode one on, the bad acting(unintentional)and the cheesiness(intentional) was well done and provided fun lines and fantastic moments.

It had some serious moments that were made cheesy with the overacting and humiliating lines and events. We have a serious rivalry like the Red Samurai Ranger vs Decker who believed in honor, then we have the gold ranger who sells fish and makes fish puns. My goodness the Gold Ranger/Antonio lit up the room with his fiery Latin personality.

In the end, we know what Power Rangers is and this was an exceptionally well done B-Movie-esque extravaganza and so fun and cheesy and memorable corny lines.

9 out of 10. Fun-Fun-Fun. Cheesy-Cheesy-Cheesy. Well worth your attention.

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 grew up with power rangers. Halloween, the MMPR switch helmet to head action figures, the DVD's. After Jetix was canceled, I didn't often watch power rangers unless someone posted a season online. For me Power Rangers was good until Overdrive, with the team-up as an exception. I've seen a good portion of the whole MMPR saga, so I can understand why there are so many similarities to the original.

Since this was going to be the first time on Nick, and the first power rangers show in a while, many things were kept same. At first I hated it so much, until I thought to lay off a bit. The theme; another rock based song with much guitar and GO-GO POWER RANGERS. While A LOT of people find this a cop out, its supposed to bring back to the good ol' days. Of course, BULK AND SKULL's nephew or something like that ARE BACK. But by now, Bulk should be in his 30's, 40's. I kind of liked when the two numbskulls were always playing Sherlock finding out who the rangers were in High School. He's not an idiot anymore, and he is not fighting the minions like in Zeo and in Space... He's changed, but still has some features of the original.

Now the show on its own...I do like that the actors themselves do have a bit more screen time to create more of a plot for the episode. I'll be honest it isn't that bad for some. Pinkie sounds like she's being like that red head from that Victorious show at times when she's unmorphed, like she's trying to create that voice. Yellow Ranger completely sounds fake. Sounds like she's trying even more than the pink ranger to have a fake voice and sound like an idiot. The red ranger is whom I have the biggest problem with. He just sounds so boring and monotone. Kind of like Vypra from Lightspeed, there is no energy in either of their voices. There it is, my attack, nuff said.

The effects are much worse than that of power rangers Ninja Storm and Time Force when they could run at fast speeds and animate monster attacks. It just looks ridiculous now as there seems to be more animation for the attacks as they get blown away real quickly.

The zords, look stupid. but somewhat make sense. Half resembles the appropriate animal, half resembles their symbol. Since these rangers' theme are Samurai and since Samurai are from Japan and since the rangers do emphasize the use of "symbol power", Japanese Characters, Why not have their symbols on their zords and helmets?

While not being the same as what I remember from being a kid, there are some good that has been done, some. Can't say I'd want to watch the who season online, but did feel like running onto ceilings as if I was 7 years old again. I'd rather stick with earlier works.

Lightspeed, Timeforce, and Ninjastorm FTW
