Actually, the first ever movie did well considering it had $15 million for its budget. About $66 million from the box office, which is pretty good for the a show that was still in its phenomenon stage at the time. The second movie which was set during the beginning of the 5th season bombed. I know this because I'm a fan of Power Rangers, Super Sentai (where the source material came from), and other tokusatsu shows. It's havent watched the trailer yet so I'll check it out when I can. |
Hmmm, the first one was with Ivan Ooze right?
The second was in the Turbo series?
Hey if the action is good I don't mind. What I hated about the Mighty Morphin movie back in the day was that it was just felt like a really long episode and not a movie. May as well have been straight to VHS.

Nothing is original. Even your "original" movies that come out are just retreads of old tropes repackaged. I think you're looking at this thing as another remake, and it is, but remakes shouldn't be automatically labelled as retreads. Or else get off these old tropes like love, action, comedy, etc, and go with... see, all is already been done. |
Boiling down originality to that level is clever and trite but also doesn't contribute much to the discussion. I mean, what you listed aren't even tropes. They're literally just elements or genres. And second of all, tropes can be subverted, played with in inventive ways, many many ways to be creative and original.
But my point is that if it's a new story with only very minor ties to the originals, have the balls to just make a new IP. But let's face it, a substantial number of Hollywood remakes do retread old ground to pander to nostalgia. That's why they did the remake, cause it's an easy way to sucker cash out of people without having to invest in quality. And I would be more inclined to give remakes a chance if so many weren't so blah and Hollywood didn't do them all the dang time.
Not feeling this.
That looks terrible. I hope half in the bag picks it up
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
