I was extremely surprised at how well that movie turned out. With a lot of reboots like that, you worry that they'll completely miss the mark on what made the original what it was changing things in order to update it to a modern time. I really liked how they updated the story and characters to actually be somewhat engaging and likable, yet still be fully aware of the corniness of their source material and stay true to it. I'd say it was a perfect balance.

You know me so well. Power Rangers is known more for it's fighting afterall. Most of this reboot was talky crap, Goldar didn't last all that long and wtf did they do to Rita? The Zords looked shit too. Boring as fuck tbh. I don't have high hopes for the sequel. Although I hope to see Lord Z and the White Ranger. Although they will fuck that up too.

My understanding is that's why a lot people didn't like the new Alien movie too.
Most people I ask about why they didn't like Alien Covenant say it's because it was too much of a sci-fi movie and not a horror. Which makes sense if you were expecting a straight up horror, but after Prometheus I wasn't.
I thought it was pretty good and I find the lore interesting. I've been wanting a movie like Prometheus and Covenant since I saw the first Alien movie when I was 14. The backstory stuff is super cool in my opinion.

I'm getting off topic sorry. I was also pretty stoked for Power Rangers, and like the story that they gave it. I don't really understand complaints about the story, because OG Might Morphing Power Rangers didn't exactly have a thrilling story; they had to update it to make it interesting for more than just children and rose tinted glasses.

If anything the sequel should have less "talky crap" because the story will already be established.

I'd still like a healthy dose of character development, but yeah, I think we have a real opportunity for more combat. Or at least more of them using their powers.

Quickly followed up by the worst moment with the zords getting tossed into a pit of fire(what the fuck even was that nonsense) and getting smashed together to form the mega zord.

The movie was great, easily the best movie this year, but those zords man.

What? They literally showed them combining and fitting together by design. It's not like they melted into one another.

Great movie btw. My expectations were met and blown away.

According to the novelization of the film, it normally takes years of training for the Rangers to combine their Zords. This shows the depth of Jason's team's skills in being able to form the Megazord in the heat of battle after only eleven days of training and arguably less than an hour piloting the Zords.

The Megazord's form being similar to that of Goldar's is due to the Zords being programmed to model their appearance off of the most powerful creatures on whatever planet they inhabit. In this case, Goldar was the strongest entity on Earth, hence the Megazord patterned its appearance based on Goldar.

People are saying that there's not going to be a sequel because it was such a box office disappointment. That would suck, because they spent time setting up the universe for a sequel, and we only got 2 minutes of morphed fighting in this one.

I want to see more actual Power Rangers morphed fighting, more zord fighting, and of course, Lord Zedd. How can Hollywood possibly mess up Lord Zedd? He's cool as hell. It would be so awesome.

You kind of see the zords clinging together to "hold the line" more than any actual transforming or zord docking like the show. It's easy to see how they imply the zords melting together in the configuration of a megazord and still have all these moveable parts because the scene made it so ambiguous. The power of friendship theme sort of adds to the nature of that coincidence and prophecy or destiny. It doesn't really matter though its a power rangers movie after all.
