Movie Reviews of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie
Movie Review: Nostalgic Memories of My Childhood
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like yesterday that my family and I went to see the big screen adaptation of MMPR. I even remember owning all of the promotional McDonald's toys and owning the toy version of the Ninja Megazord (the TV version). But anyway, in this big screen version (with an actual budget and no Super Sentai footage to be found) Rita and Zedd release intergalactic super-villain Ivan Ooze (played by Paul Freeman of "Raiders of the Lost Ark). Can the Rangers beat this new and dangerous threat? Well I don't like spoiling movies so you'll just have to watch it. It was great to see the same actors (minus the original Red, Black and Yellow Rangers) And it was just amazing to have a villain of great power who got rid of the two most popular Ranger villains in the first act of the film. While I love the movie, I just have a few problems, first: Ooze should've created a monster with Rita and Zedd (that's what they were known for creating/growing monsters) to attack the Rangers. They could've used the Thunderzords but have them destroyed in the process of the battle, along with their powers. This take was adapted into the season three 4-part opener "Ninja Quest" of the series, which has no continuity with this film as in the series, their powers come from Ninjor, not Dulcea as shown in the film. Second: for a quest to obtain the Great Power, it was pretty short. They get the ninja suits, go through a forest and fight a skeleton dinosaur and BOOM! They're at the temple! Third: where the heck are Baboo, Squatt and Finster? They get replaced and get no mention. Mordant is treated as if he's always been there since day one. And fourth: I hate the kid. I know this was a kids movie and they wanted someone for the kids to identify with but I have never been a real fan of kid actors in film (except the original Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, Temple of Doom and Blues Brothers 2000 [but that took many viewings for me to even tolerate Buster.]) And how the heck does a kid his age know how to operate a monorail and a crane? Despite those few minor problems, I have no problem with this movie. Its pure entertainment that will keep the kids occupied for an hour and a half.
Summary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie
Power up with six incredible teens who out-maneuver and defeat evil everywhere as the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, But this time the Power Rangers may have met their match, when they face off with the most sinister monster the galaxy has ever seen.They skydive, they kickbox, they travel through space. Is there anything these crayon-colored teens can't do? The answer seems a resounding "no," until some construction workers unwittingly open a manhole cover and loose Ivan Ooze upon Angel Grove. Although incarcerated in his egglike tomb for 6,000 years, Ooze gets right to work at that world domination thing. First up: Strip those eager teens of their morphin uniforms and associated powers and send their leader Zordon to his crystalline deathbed. There's nothing to do but head for a distant planet to meet up with a bikini-clad warrior babe who imparts ancient wisdom and power. Meanwhile, Ooze has been turning parents into zombies who craft giant metallic insects--all the better to take over the world with. This 90-minute film features some cast changes from the Fox television series, as well as better special effects and extended fight scenes, which account for the PG rating. Parents must weigh in for themselves on the famous violent-influence-or-not question. Although, like anything else, what seemed violent in 1995 may seem a bit tame today. Ages 5 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs
