I really hope it doesn't turn into a real mess. I love MMPR and would really like to see them do it justice.

psychturtle 08-13-2014 06:03 PM
Nice. They better start casting soon. Gonna be 2016 before you know it. I just watched a few episodes of season 1 last night. LOL'd when I saw the episode with the rappin' pumpkin haha

Allio 08-13-2014 06:25 PM
I am really not expecting much from this

pennydreadful 08-13-2014 07:35 PM
Hopefully they'll do a good job with it, but I guess we'll have to wait and see! :)

CyberCubed 08-13-2014 08:10 PM
Power Rangers is still a thing in the U.S.? All the original fans are now in their 20's and I doubt new younger kids get into it as much anymore.

turtlefanforever 08-13-2014 08:42 PM
it's not about the movie
 
It's about a bigger platform for the Green ranger to call out CM Punk. WHy is CM punk so afraid to fight him, man?! :trazz:

Brodie 08-13-2014 08:44 PM
Yeah, Power Rangers is still a thing. Its an anniversary year/season, so its still popular. They brought back a bunch of older rangers from pervious seasons for a big battle episode.

Power Rangers has gotten a bit of a resurgence since Samurai, but substantially so with Megaforce/Super Megaforce.

This will probably be trying for the money of those 20-something people who remember it from their childhood.

zodiac brave 08-13-2014 08:58 PM
im 30 and im a fan.

it was the natural progression for me when the initial turtlemania died down.

im looking forward to it. robeto orci is involved and ive generally loved anything he's worked on, plus they said theyre going the star trek route and making it so the original show continuity isn't erased or forgotten.

and the way jason david frank is championing the franchise, id be surprised if he DIDNT have at least a cameo and im a big fan of his!

Probably because Punk doesn't want to fight some washed up old guy.

Anyways. Looking forward to it.

To be fair he is undefeated as a pro and ammy

Wildcat 08-13-2014 10:03 PM
Cool. I wonder if it'll tie in all the shows or just the original. Not a Megaforce thing I just mean acknowledge all of them.

Zords should look awesome.

Roseangelo 08-13-2014 10:03 PM
Willing to bet this ends up a better movie than the TMNT sequel.

He's fought nothing but cans and didn't even look particularly impressive against them. He's nothing but a publicity stunt in MMA.

That's not really saying much though.

psychturtle 08-13-2014 11:30 PM
Man, goldar will be awesome. The zords....man. I see myself buying some collectibles in 2016! Hope the suits look good. Still think they get some known actors/actresses to play the rangers. They should shuffle up the races though so the black ranger isn't...African American...etc.

Would be cool to see it all begin again like the star trek series did. I'm pumped unless liebesman directs.

Not to jump on the attack-CyberCubed bandwagon, but I figured that if anybody was going to make a statement like that, it would be you.

There are "original fans" who are also in their 30s (like myself), and even 40s. Maybe even older. Kids today also still watch, and the toys are being bought. Of course it's still airing. I'll admit that I'm not expecting this to be a huge success myself, however.

That was basically me. My interest in TMNT started to dwindle in late 1991 really. I saw the second movie but after that, I didn't really make it a point to catch the episodes. Once Power Rangers started, I put TMNT behind me a year after, but I got back into TMNT in 2003, thanks to the 4Kids series.

Considering most of your posts in the traditional PR thread are about Tokusatsu bollocks nobody here is interested in, I'm not surprised you'd say that. You've outgrown PR.

Netkeeper 08-14-2014 05:57 AM
So... this is Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? Not any of the ones that came after?

I'm being serious here, this movie has to"
  • Develop 5 characters, I feel they will add the Green Ranger for the "bes powa ranger" fan. If we are lucky they will just keep him to an after credit scene.
  • Develop the villains (if it's just rita and goldar first...I'll be fine)
  • Ground Battles, at least 2-3 going with the regular PR formula (1. Mook battle, 2 Main Monster Battle)
  • Mech battle - I doubt their will spend less than 30+ minutes on this (this is also including a separated Zords fight [of course this is just going by Pacific Rim/Godzilla type of Mech fighting, they might surprise us)

You seem to think I want this movie to fail, I don't.

I want this movie to be great, I just fear that the Power Rangers formula just doesn't work for a movie - let's not kid ourselves:

the first MMPR movie was barely a "decent" movie, one only good for nostalgic.
Turbo just felt like it was just there, only good thing was the Mechs
and the Clash of the Red Ranger "Movie" was just another horrible mess in the pile that is New-Saban Power Rangers

Just to make a good movie, I know they will have to change the formula...but I it shouldn't be too much or it won't feel like Power Rangers

I'm sure the film will be alright, but since as of right now we have 0 information, there is nothing there but what ifs

So apparently it's too much to ask for something nice out of a franchise (and genre) I love. I may have a hate-boner for Samurai/Megaforce doesn't mean I hate the franchise itself...just means I can't stand Jonathan Tzachor. I mean, just because I didn't love the new TMNT movie, doesn't mean I outgrew it

Now, do I think this will be a bad film? no, I'm sure it will be decent. All I said is my expectations aren't that great.

Netkeeper 08-14-2014 06:13 AM
My brother is concerned about this movie.

What if Tommy doesn't look like him any more.

I'm concerned too. He's been Tommy for years. This could be horrible.

Allio 08-14-2014 06:36 AM
^Reminds me when a guy from Lionsgate actually called Jason David Frank out on his sh!t when he sent his fandom to email people there to get him in the movie

psychturtle 08-14-2014 08:55 AM
I think for this movie, they start out focusing on one relatiohaving like having the blue and red ranger pal up. Then they make it interesting by having either the black or green ranger be at odds with red or blue. Kind of like a Spock/Kirk type thing where they start out at odds but become close. It doesn't have to be a group of predisposed fiends. They can learn to come together as a team and still maintain differences. They don't have to deeply explore each character, they can focus on a few and at least make us interested in the others to a point where we want to know more. If guardians of the galaxy and avengers can be successful, this can too. Just need to have PG-13 rating and some decent directing. Chronicle was awesome!

interesting...any links to info about what happened?

also, did anyone catch the drama from last night on JDF's instagram and fb where he "called out" the original red ranger for some comments he made that JDF thought were directed to him?

all the posts and the video have been deleted, but i wonder if stuff like that might affect any of the OG rangers from having the opportunity to appear in the film...

I'm thinking you should have said all this stuff in the beginning, rather than just simply saying your expectations for the movie are low. It's no secret that you haven't been happy with PR lately, but every time I see you express your disapproval, you tend to come off a tad trollish. You think you haven't already gotten your point across by now?

I admit it, I'm a naysayer ...also, yeah...could of made my first post a little more ...yeah

I'd have to find it, but I think Rangerboard probably did have it in their movie thread.

but there was this when the movie was first announced

yeah, i remember that post. i didnt email, but really only because im lazy and kinda figured i'd get around to it, eventually, as i do love me some tommy oliver. hope that didnt sour lions gate on the idea of him doing a cameo.

also, i wonder how much sway haim saban has over the flick, despite it being done by lions gate. cuz, isnt JDF in really good with him?

honestly, tho...id love it if any of the original or season 2 cast showed up for a cameo.

DarkFell 08-14-2014 01:18 PM
I would like to see another good Power Rangers movie back in theaters. I liked the first movie but haven't got into the second movie (after all of these years..) So, I'm hoping the next movie will be a goodie.

I was also wondering why the members from the show have been popping up at various conventions where I live at. We had JDF here at WizardWorld and several other Rangers also showed up at a Comic Con in my city.

So it'll be TMNT vs Power Rangers again?
Power Rangers has potential to be a great fun pop-corn movie, I don't expect something epic just something fun. I also find it funny how people don't realize that Power Rangers have been consistently on store shelves since it was created. And only took a year break during the transitional period of Saban getting the rights back to the franchise and even then it was filled up with a "remaster" of MMPR. I love Tommy the character and like all his appearances in the tv show but I definitely not want him in the new movie, all new cast and a fun script taking advantage of the original premise can make a hella fun movie

Not in the same Month, TMNT 2 is on June 3rd 2016

zodiac brave 08-14-2014 07:06 PM
honestly, just judging by the pedigree of talent on board to write and produce...the mmpr flick looks like it has the potential to be amazing. sadly, i wish the tmnt movies would have this level of talent.

i feel like mmpr is gonna get the kinda movie i wish the tmnt had.

which is still cool, as i do like the tmnt flick (warts and all), but its also great, because im a power rangers fan too.

:/

psychturtle 08-14-2014 08:47 PM
Totally agree. There is a lot of talent on this project. I also wish tmnt had some of that talent
