Power Rangers

I was a Power Rangers fan when it first came out, (can you believe it?) but looking back, I noticed that it's a little messed up.

Although a lot of it didn't really look all that great, remember this: THE SHOW WAS MEANT FOR A YOUNG AUDIENCE!!! It was supposed to be dorky!

Like many fans my age, we were all in awe as we watched Tommy lose his powers, but then briefly regain them only to have the green ranger powers taken away again.

I'm also guessing that those that watched this for the first time didn't know the identity of the white ranger until part two of "The White Light."

Of course, during the 3rd season, it was kind of hard to follow... so I stopped watching until Zeo.

Recently, it's grown into a guilty pleasure for me, so I only watch it in secret.

As far as the rating goes, it's at least a 7.

A very fun concept: A team of teenagers with attitude are recruited to save Angel Grove from evil. There are fisticuffs back and forth with those who claim to work for justice. All the characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods. Against this backdrop, our heroes must fight. The acting is effective, save for a couple of scenes. The metaphors in this show are so abundant, it takes three or four viewings to catch them all. I was deeply impressed, but from an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. This was done superbly without overdoing it.

I'm ashamed. I was young and foolish to be pulled in by this show. Looking back on it now I realise what a load of rubbish it is! The acting is so lame and cheesy and OH MY GOD!!! And did you ever notice that they did the exact same thing in very episode, but with a few substitutions made?

Typical Script -

Scene 1: Power Rangers doing something wholesome and good like homework or building a youth centre.

Scene 2: The bad guy is plotting to destroy the city and wondering how to do it.

BAD GUY WITH CHEESY NAME I know I'll create a monster, but while I'm busy doing that I'll send the Putty Patrol to deal with the Power Rangers.

Scene 3: The wholesomeness is interrupted by the Putty Patrol. The Power Rangers kick bottom then decide to go see Zordon (who happens to be this big head in a jar) because something's not quite right here.

Scene 4: Zordon says stuff, whilst Alpha makes stupid noises.

Scene 5: Monster attacks city.

Scene 6: Morphing time! Takes up about 10 minutes of screen time ...

BLACK RANGER "I'm the hip-hop, all dancing, unlucky-in-love, token black guy of the group ... MASTADON!" (Hey isn't that the name of a heavy metal band?)

PINK RANGER "I'm the girlie, cute one who not-so-secretly fancies the green/white guy. He looks hot in all that Lycra! I get to do all the screaming and I always get captured by the bad guy. Why the heck am I Power Ranger in the first place? ... PTERODAYTL!"

BLUE RANGER "I'm a geek. I talk like a computer ... TRICERTOPS!"

YELLOW RANGER "I'm the token Asian ranger. My only other function is to provide a translator for the geeky one and a shopping buddy for the pink ranger. I hate my life ... SABRE-TOOTHED TIGER!"

RED RANGER "I'm the leader of the Power Rangers. I used to be cool until this green/white ranger came along. Grrr ... TYRANNOSAURUS!"

GREEN/WHITE RANGER "I'm the super powerful Power Ranger who makes the other characters look rubbish. I'm not the leader of the Power Rangers, but I should be because the kids love me ... DRAGONZORD/WHITE TIGER"

Scene 7: Power Rangers fight monster and beat it back for a few seconds using their weapons and some well choreographed arm movements.

Scene 8: The monster grows big with help of bad guy. It's magic!

Scene 9: Get the Zords out! Connect them all together to form a Megazord. (Does anyone else think that they stole that bit from Transformers?) This takes another 10 minutes of screen time.

Scene 10: A little sword fight with the monster. The poor monster has no chance! The monster is defeated, and the bad guy is rather angry because they've lost ... again.

Scene 11: Everything is back to normal and everyone learns a valuable lesson.

*End credits and cheesy theme music*

For a show that lasts 25 minutes, they've done well to cram all the plot into 5 minutes in 30 second bursts throughout the show. To think that something so cheesy and lame as this caused the downfall of Biker Mice From Mars - it's depressing!

Power Rangers is one of the most popular shows in the 90's and one of the Best Shows in TV History

It has Toys, Video Games, Spin-offs, Pogs, Cards, Comic Books, Foods, Movies and many more.

The original Power Rangers, was very similar to the Batman show in the 60s.

my Favorite Rangers were Jason and Tommy

Angel Grove, nice name for a place

the Theme Song "Go Go Power Rangers" was one of the most Memorable Theme Songs ever all the haters got annoyed with that theme song but all the ranger fans and I liked it

Season 1 was the best and the most iconic and popular season out of the franchise! great costumes, great zords, great rangers and a great plot the 1st episode of Season 1 (Day of the Dumpster) is where the power rangers story begins

the most comical characters from power rangers that make us laugh were bulk and skull the 2 bullies from the group

if they don't like the power rangers and always picking on them why did they hang out with them all the time?

the Episodes of Season 1 were great

Remember "Day of the Dumpster" and "Food Fight" and "Happy Birthday Zack" and "Birds of the Feather"? Those episodes were Awesome

And don't forget "Green With Evil" and "Return of an Old Friend"

Season 2 was not that bad the Zords are cool and White ranger costume was cool, White Light was one of the Best Episodes ever made but the jokes are corny, Bulk and Skull were a bit stupid and annoying but always funny

and about Season 3 Umm Not Sure I Find it i found that season a bit mediocre Zedd Became so Stupid in that season, Rito was annoying, the alien Rangers saga was a bit boring But i like the Ninja Zords

and all of the following Power Rangers spin offs/Seasons after Mighty Morphin (except for Lightspeed Rescue&Samurai&Super Samurai) were awesome

I Also have the Video Games

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Fighting Edition on the Super Nintendo was a great Megazord fighting game but not bad and not boring as the Dino thunder video game but it's still fun The Graphics are Awesome, the Controls are Fun it was a great Fighting Game what a power rangers Fan Could ask For

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie on Sega Mega Drive is a great beat em up game and the best power rangers game ever made,

the graphics are awesome

the controls are cool a game is neither too hard nor too easy the musics are cool because all the power rangers songs from power rangers the album a rock adventure was in 16 bit version the levels are fun but its a short game cause there 6 stages play as your favorite rangers such as Tommy, Rocky, Jason, Billy, Adam, Zack, Kim, Trini, Aisha but it's Kind of odd that over half the game isn't even based on the movie but whatever, this game right here is everything a power rangers fan could ask for

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie was Really Good the Costumes are Awesome the Special Effects are Cool but the villains are a bit annoying but it Was not that bad too bad Jason and Zack and trini are not in it When i saw the critic's power rangers the movie review and the low ratings for this movie i was a bit shocked i thought this movie was good still better than Clash of the Red Rangers

Power Rangers is the greatest show ever made. Not some Dinosaur king Thrash nor Phineas and Ferb!! All that non stop action, fun, cool rock music and excitement that you can enjoy.

it might be OK if you're a kid or if you're born in the 90s but it gets a little bit hard to watch if you're born in the 80s

I am a Power Rangers fan so, I like this show, the video games, the toys, the movies and everything. Good stuff.

Way better than Phineas and Ferb I recommend to watch this show, you'll be happy.

Season 1 - 10/10

Season 2 - 8/10

Season 3 - 5/10

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie - 9/10

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Fighting Edition - 9/10

I fell MMPR was one of the best shows of all time. It was the starter for the hugely successful series which would last well over the next 10 years. But, i feel the original series was one of the only decent one, which gave way to trash like space and lightspeed rescue. I mean, what a spin off. They cannot even compare with Mighty Morphin'. But kids these days are being dragged into the newer versions, with all their fancy CGI, what happened to good old-fashioned butt-kicking? The old characters were there for a good time, or so it seemed. They always looked there on the set for fun, and the comedy and carelessness gave the series the edge. But now you get dino thunder (HUGE spin off of MM, like dinozords etc) and spd. There is no fun in those. No obvious enjoyment. And the bad guys are a joke, i mean seriously what happened to good old rita repulsa and lord zedd? Now we get a gut with a skeleton head where you can even see the actor's face under the mask, and goldar has been replaced by a posh little girl who does nothing but draw monsters all day. I mean seriously. Get MMPR, which will give you a true perspective of what Power Rangers truly is.
