To be very honest, I was never excited to see Power Rangers, which is probably because I didn't see the previous series and films. I'm a fan of super hero movies and TV shows but I wasn't too thrilled to see this one. The trailer looked good but not enough to make me crave to see the movie, but I saw it anyway. The plot isn't anything too crazy or special, it's basically how a group of high school students get their powers and save the world. These students don't get to actually wear their suits until 20 minutes to the end of the movie, then everything just felt rushed. It was like everyone was waiting for them to finally get into the suits and make everything exciting, except it really wasn't.

The story line is good and each character had a chance to shine on their own, plus amazing CGI. The character development was on point but I felt like the final scenes were a bit rushed and I kept rolling my eyes uncontrollably. The characters were very like able and I think Elizabeth Banks did a great job as Rita Repulsa, but they gave her a lot of silly lines which I really didn't find funny. I think she's a really diverse actress who can play any role thrown at her. She literally kills it every single time. There really wasn't anything memorable about the action scenes, not a lot of action there, more like objects running around stepping on buildings. Power Rangers might feel nostalgic and interesting for the old fans, but for the new audience members like me, it was an okay movie. Not Oscar worthy, just a good movie I wouldn't bother to see again if i had the opportunity.
