Power Rangers Megaforce

I love love Power Rangers probably because he is so stupid

They tried to revive the spirit of the old mighty morphin-days without considering that we have now another Zeitgeist. That would not have mattered if you thought about what made Power Rangers "the camp". You had plenty of time both in front of and behind the camera to do something great. Man had many opportunities and many opportunities to either do the same, to do something better and to show the normal viewer the Power Rangers can be for everyone.

This was completely ignored and the focus was always put on the action scenes. and they tried to burn through so much Sentai material and get through to the anniversary season as fast as possible. but we got characters that are so so crappy even the actors are embarrassed of it, mentors spend the power-ups and weapons like you're in a bingo hall. And with a "save the environment "-message so convoluted and stupid but even that Captain Planet laughs about you. A complete ignorance of my dear franchise that has offended me so much as a true Power Rangers fan that I just can not describe it anymore.

I wish to mention mentioning the old seasons, building on the past history and a bit more world building to make this mega franchise running for over 20 years a success but all we got is a grotty boring disappointment and not a whole thing.

In my own opinion, I think megaforce is the worst season of power rangers I have ever seen. And don't tell me "what about super mega force" no there the exact same series just spit into to seasons.

everything that is wrong with power rangers is represented in this season the plot is unoriginal , the characters suck, and the villains are lame. Gosei may not be as bad as mentor ji from samurai. But gosei makes no sense he just gives the rangers new powers and zords at random for no reason. All he says is " you have earned a new power" or " you have unlocked a new power". The worst part about super megaforce was the legendary battle it was so rushed. I'm sure that the sentai was longer. And then the morph into sentai only teams. That is just bull crap it's going to confuse kids thinking they were previous teams.

I don't recommend this season

It is obvious that this whole season was just filler in the leadup to the Gokaiger adaptation, but still. It deserves to be reviewed.

Let's start off with the acting. It is absolutely offensively bad. I would be embarrassed if I were auditioning for this season and lost to the cast that they hired. Seriously, the Red Ranger may as well have been played by a robot. No one on the cast knows how to act. You get little to no emotion out of the majority of the rangers. And it seems as if they're keeping this cast for their Gokaiger adaptation, Super Megaforce! FFS!

The writing was awful, too. Compared to RPM, which had characters with enriching, intriguing backstories - This is a joke. The Pink Ranger was the closest we got to a deep character, and that's saying something.

The overall story arc was weak. I could have thought up a way better arc. And I'm sure you reading this could have, too. The story arc Saban chose was predictable, weak and boring. It never bothered to try something new.

All that this season got right was the setting and special effects. The places where the Rangers went looked great in HD. And the effects looked good for a children's show.

Because of the aforementioned reasons, I am giving the overall season 3 out of 10.

Well, what's to say? Back in 1994, the internet was in it's infancy. I was working on the Power Rangers movie in Australia, building zord cockpits. Yes, a mad fan of the show, working on the show and surrounded by Power rangers. Hence my handle (Zordmaker), a handle I have now held since the movie came out in 1995.

Today I sat down and watched the first two episodes of "Power Rangers Megaforce" with my 9 year old daughter, who'se name (naturally) is Kimberley.

Before that handle I was known on the 'net as "Paul MMPR Forever". Others would jest at me and my handle, saying that Power Rangers was a fad and would never last. Who'se had the last laugh now eh? "PR Megaforce" does justice to 20 years of history with the show coming home to roost with it's original producers but still filmed in NZ. The first ep is deliberately formula and essentially the same as the 20 year old fossil.

As with the original, there's a long way to go yet for Megaforce. It has a the same problems as it's more modern predecessors (Samurai & back to about Time Force) in that there's simply too much smash and bash action and not enough time to tell a story.

But story was never a strong point with Power Rangers. That's why when we see some (as was the case with the first series back in 1993-94) we covet it so much. My satisfying feeling is that Megaforce might be more than just a 20 year homage to the original.

Give it a chance. Especially if you're an old fan of the show, have drifted away and might want to come back. I've never really liked everything that Jonathan Tzachor did (that second PR movie was a low point) but hey, without him there would be no PR - and now (it would seem) no Megaforce.

Go for it, team. Well done! Zordmaker

For starters, high schoolers have been done a billion times or what feels like a billion times. Troy is such a bad leader. Noah is the nerd type like Billy from MM. Jake is the cool/athletic type, similar to Zack. And all of the others are just bland and feel like a thin sheet of paper. Also this was just a disappointment and a shame to the precious Gokaiger. You had one job!
