Honestly, POWER RANGERS was never my thing, even as a kid. It didn't help that you had to be in shape to even pretend to do martial arts. However, I don't know what it is, but this movie has got me excited as hell. Maybe it's just that the core idea of POWER RANGERS is still solid: mixing giant robot/monster fight with kung-fu superheroes will forever be an inherently cool idea.
Now it looks like we're getting our first glimpse at the rest of the Zords (after the reveal of the T-Rex Zord about a month ago), via more toy designs. Let's take a look:
You know what? I really enjoy these designs! As I said when they released the T-Rex Zord, I like that the new Zords feel streamlined and modern, while still retaining enough of the original to be recognizable. I understand if purists aren't as gung-ho about these redesigns, but I still say give it a chance. Especially since I'm sure a lot of detail is missing from these (honestly pretty cheap-looking) toys.
Either way, POWER RANGERS will morph into theaters March 24th, 2017
