Power Rangers Ninja Storm

An incredible series was launched early this year, Power Rangers Ninja Storm, a fresh and bold new taste to the 11 year old Power Rangers multi-billion dollar franchise. This show is one of the best Ranger shows yet, I`ve been a fan of the Ranger series as a whole since 93 and this series doesn't change my opinion...it strengthens it. Power Rangers has had two styles of story telling, the fun and action style and the exciting adventure style. While series like MMPR and Power Rangers Turbo were of the fun and action, much of the fandom has said they prefer the exciting adventure style of Power Rangers In Space, Lost Galaxy and Time Force.

Ninja Storm is a mix of all the above, chunking out great action and story telling all at once, with the fun of the original MMPR and the excitement of the newer incarnations.

It`s not without it`s faults though, PRNS early on suffered from puns and quips that a lot of people did not care for. But the one thing PRNS has is that any thing bad out weighs the good in this series, theres acting of the likes other Saturday morning shows could only WISH they could have. These actors are by far some of the most gifted actors to dawn the ranger mantle. Glenn McMillian is a ten year acting vet and he`s not even 20 yet, goodness. The villains in this series are funny and devious. Some of the cast in this Ranger series are alumni of Xena Warrior Princess[ Katrina Browne and Grant McFarland]

All in all I`d give PRNS an eight out of ten so far.

Every episode is entertaining, and in the end that is what really matters.

I think this is a great show on ABC Family. The directors outdid themselves. This an excellent show to watch this summer. It shows true friendship and how to work together as a team and succeed. All the characters have a unique way of expressing their feelings. They sometimes get ticked off at each other but they still use teamwork.

Even though I've been watch Power Rangers as a kid, being older, I think this one is one-of-a-kind.It has different story lines and is not following the old shows of this series. Starting off with 3 wind rangers and then joining forces with 2 thunder rangers is different and to me, it's making history.

I want to say more about this but I'll shorten it. I love the show and I wish someday I could play a ranger in the series. I give it an A plus. They should make a movie out of it.

Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Ha!

This season was Disney's new experiment and it was an attempt to unite many aspects that people were looking for in a Power Rangers show. Some wanted it to be like the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, other wanted it to have a very deep storyline to continue the shows gradual change to an adult audience over the years ever since the shows became standalone stories, and yet others wanted an entirely new take on what they though Power Rangers should be....

What Disney ultimately produced was a show (1)that had a lot of MMPR like jokes and puns (which I personally found extremely annoying and was glad that the direction of the series from Space to Wild Force did not use them)which was both great for fans of the old shows and horrid for fans of the new shows, (2) a show that gave depth only when a multipart cycle was started, but hardly any for individual episodes, and (3) tried to appeal to as many different people as possible.

My thoughts are: The premise for the show was corny since it tried to combine crouching tiger: hidden dragon with aliens from space. Once the show was started, however, it did have interesting cycles like the Thunder Strangers, Return of Thunder, and the Samuria's Journey. The problem is that not much attention was given to individual episodes. I personally liked Lost Galaxy for its talent to have episodes not part of a story cycle that spoke an important message and Wild Force's almost continuous cycle throughout the show.

Another thing that I disliked was that Lothor turned from a villain to be respected to one that could not be taken seriously at all. This combined with the fact that Ninja Storm had no overall message made me generally rank this show low on the Power Rangers scale. Time Force's message of "I make my own destiny" was great and so was Wild Forces message about poluting the earth and the heart. Ninja Storm did not even stress the message of discipline, honor, and all that other ninja stuff.

Nuff Said.

This is the first Power Rangers since the original series to have someone who has the screen appeal that Amy Jo Johnson had. Marah portrayed by Katrina Devine just lights up the screen each time she smiles. I hope we see a lot more of her. Tori is also a hit. She has that same unassuming sexiness that Amy Jo had in the original season. She just has something special. I want to see a lot more of Marah and Tori. So far I have enjoyed the Ninja Storm. Dustin is convincingly clueless and is always good for a laugh.
