Power Rangers Samurai

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.

What I liked 1-Finale 2-Powers and Upgrades 3-Lauren 4-Yellow Ranger

What I didn't like 1-Acting 2-Jayden, Kevin, Mike, Antonio 3-Octoroo 4-Deckker and her Wife 5-Bulk 6-Spike 7-MasterJi 8-Boring Morph 9-Theme Song 10-No Interesting Plot.

That theme song tells you all you need to know F in actually story telling A+ in fun

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.
