YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS REVIEW OF POWER RANGERS
The Rangers hanging at David Letterman's old Late Nite set YEAR: 2017 |
Picture Filling Up Space |
Kid's Curve **1/2 |
Like most Origin Stories, the zeroes become heroes in a semi-intriguing fashion: the small town's limited outskirts harbor a familiar ensemble of young characters including a handsome jock; a computer geek; two pretty tough girls; a resilient outdoorsman; the token mascot in a robotic middleman. And, overall, POWER RANGERS visually reads like the first half of a comic book's Issue #1, lacking the urgency for kids to completely invest in what's going on, which can be rather complicated. On the other hand, for mindless banter and noisy action, you can do a lot worse — like, for instance, the last attempt to bring THE FANTASTIC FOUR to life (ironically helmed by the CHRONICLE director) in which this is THE GODFATHER by comparison.
