It was like a fake almanac about the monsters and poo poo. No characters or anything; all the rest of the movie was built around that thin frame.

I'd rate it as more contrived than basing 3 movies off The Hobbit, but less contrived than basing a movie off the board game Battleship.

battleship was legit good. 100% redeemed for actually playing the game at irl scale within the context of the movie

Yes, and being in the future they refer to the act of cyborg pooping as "Ghost in the Three Seashells"

I don't think cyborgs have doodoos. But if they do I bet they come out in white brick form like tofu.

There's no way I can agree with that. Although it was amusing to speculate how long Liam Neeson was on set for. A day, maybe? And he probably got $4 million or so for it.

Okay well the actual answer not left on the cutting room floor was that if a human hand is pulling the trigger then it bypasses the international laws against using drones. It was a drone allegory.

That's even dumber! If the US set up a Rube Goldberg device that culminated in a severed hand falling on the "nuke Russia" button could they deny culpability??

I'm surprised they didn't make Billy the gay one. His TV show actor was gay and he came out when not everybody was cool with it. They made Sulu gay for the same reason.

But maybe if they had the main protagonist be a gay black guy people would think Power Rangers was trying to be too much like Moonlight.

I can't believe they made a Crispy Creme commercial disguised as a Power Rangers movie where the Rangers are autistic and don't punch anything until the last fifteen minutes.

everything about the POWER RANGERS movie sounds absolutely terrible and a lot of reviews, including rlm now, say it's "adequate". At the very least they say at the end it's too bland to recommend, I just can't compute how 90 minutes of insincere teen drama melded with a terrible superhero story that the movie itself doesn't even want ends up as "it was not terrible". Especially when everyone admits that most of the movie feels calculated and not sincere.

Like not even the reviews of this movie are entertaining, which is what I was hoping for.
A lot of the movie sounds as bad as or worse than fan4stic, including wanting to be Chronicle and being based on a campy source material not many people actually want to see adapted.

I can think of maybe...one or two films I've seen in the last 2 years that I'd consider as bad as Fant4stic, one of them being BVS. Genuinely one of the worst I've ever seen in my life.
