Excellent but underrated film
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Did anyone else notice the original black power ranger, Walter Jones, in this? Okay, he's not the greatest actor in the world, but he doesn't deserve to be in this chunk of celluloid vomit. I wasn't a big fan of Power Rangers when I was a kid. However, watching it again in adulthood I realize it's a brilliant piece of high camp and deserves to be venerated. My favorite of the original male rangers is Jones. Even if it was kind of offensive to have the black guy be the black ranger (and Thuy Trang, a vietnamese woman, be the yellow ranger) I loved his combination dance/martial arts style hip-hop-kido. It's a shame that such a talented dancer has to waste his time on these crap acting jobs.
I would give this movie a 1 every day of the week, but I believe that Manos, the Hands of Fate deserves to be undisputed as #1 on the worst movie ever list. Therefore, I gave it a 2, only because its not as bad as Manos. Don't get me wrong, this movie is absolutely terrible, but I would not wish Manos on my worst enemy.
What a horrible, awful movie. I saw it at Blockbuster and thought 'Wow, a movie about backyard wrestling! Excellent!' And it went downhill from there. Words alone can't describe my disappointment. How appropriate that it stars a Power Ranger, because it makes it feel even more like an episode gone awry. I just don't understand....the guys who do this for real do more painful-looking stuff than in this movie. Why couldn't the actors/stuntmen at least make SOME of the offense look somewhat dangerous? I won't even get into the awful love triangle, because it's not even worth talking about. Save the only film appearance by Hayabusa that I'm aware of, this movie is a complete throwaway. Not even worth a rental. If you get it offered to you for free, ask if you can have something else instead. >
this movie is a true to life depiction of the trials and trauma involved in prancing around in your underwear (i mean wrestling). A dream come true. I could really relate and cried at the end. If only life could be this wonderful.10/10
