It's not an April
Fool's joke. I didn't hate “Power Rangers.” Of course it's not
really that great of a movie, but it's far from terrible, and feel
just unoffensive enough to make it worth existing. While the trailers
promised Transformers-level action and dumbness, it's far better than
those eye-roll inducing excuses for entertainment. Those nostalgic
for corny entertainment from their childhood will certainly be
curious about “Power Rangers.” See it because Elizabeth Banks is
in it and hams it up nicely. And stay because it's definitely not the
worst thing you'll see in the theater this year. It doesn't focus on
endless, repetitive action scenes; character development somewhat
exists here if you can believe it and it's probably because an
Oscar-nominated screenwriter actually wrote this thing.
Taking a cue from
many other superhero, comic, and other big screen reboots, “Power
Rangers” is a gritty take on the corny 90s kids show about
teenagers who fight weird monsters and aliens in bad rubber suits,
morph into bright, colorful uniforms, and ride around in vehicles
shaped like dinosaurs. Every single episode followed the same lame
formula and kids (myself included) ate it up for some reason. No,
“Power Rangers” doesn't need to exist. It's not going to change
lives of its audience or win awards. But you can see a modicum of
talent bubbling beneath the surface here.
The five young
actors (who are supposed to be teenagers but are clearly too old to
be in high school) are actually pretty decent and do a good job at
making their characters likeable, relateable, or at least have more
than one dimension. Newcomer Dacre Montgomery, taking on the role of
rebellious good-looking jock whose injury has crushed his football
dreams, is quite charismatic in the role of Jason. He'll eventually
become the Red Ranger and be the group's leader. There's forlorn
cheerleader Kimberly (Naomi Scott) who becomes the Pink Ranger. The
nerdy, semi-autistic genius Billy (RJ Cyler) as the Blue Ranger. The
mysterious loner Zack (Ludi Lin) who's the Black Ranger. And Trini
(Becky G.) the fiery Latina whose parents don't understand her, as
the Yellow Ranger. The film certainly takes its time with these kids
and it's for the better. Once they actually become Power Rangers all
the good character stuff gets traded in for action.
And then of course
there's Elizabeth Banks who's in this thing for some reason. I'm
guessing she lost a bet. But then how does one explain the appearance
of both Bryan Cranston and Bill Hader? It doesn't matter. These
actors careers are safe. There's nothing particularly horrible here.
Banks hams it up as Rita Repulsa who was actually a ranger back in
the day (in the day of the dinosaurs to be exact) and betrays the
group killing all the other rangers. And she's somehow revived in
modern day. The five teens stumble upon five colored coins that gave
the rangers their power. The rest is history. Screenwriter John
Gaitins does his best with the silly source material. It's pretty
much played straight and works decently enough. Director Dean
Israelite is having fun here and you can see he has a fun visual eye.
There's even an early scene involving in a long take in a pickup
truck that's quite impressive.
“Power Rangers”
is really dumb, harmless fun. It's not nearly as bad as some terrible
big budget movies and it's not as well-done as the really good ones.
The film is perfectly fine fan service. It takes its time focusing on
the characters which makes the film sort of feel like The Breakfast
Club meets Marvel. I didn't hate it. GRADE: B-
