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.

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.

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!

I started watching, and finished watching, and I'm still wondering about what I saw. It has got to be the wackiest writing I've seen! Lots of things reminded us of the good old morphing days, but all the rest seemed sewn together in some kind of crazy quilt of evil! I mean, there's barely any explanation for the new power's origin, why they are sporting obviously pirate uniforms and zords, and even fighting styles. I guess the super sentai fans all know why, but it is supposed to be an independent show from that right? To make it worse, they had all this footage from the "legendary rangers", but decided to simply make new one with the megaforce uniform. Why? Couldn't they just create a storyline with new rangers - but from the past - and enrich even more its history? Anyway, this season just came out as a wasted opportunity. The old super sentai uniforms seen in this season (as the ones that weren't shown) had all great stories behind them, or even new ones to be imagined. But the creators just grazed upon them, and preferred to stay with a very simple script.

This show is terrible. I do not recommend watching. The unmorphed fights are so bad that you can actually see that they're stunt doubles without getting a second look. And they use way too many super sentai footage that they hardly have any original content.
