Power Rangers
Rent/Purchase
Five ordinary teens must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove — and the world — is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as the Power Rangers.
What critics thought
Critics landed squarely in mixed territory, with the film's lurching tone — swinging between gritty teen drama and campy superhero silliness — as the most consistent complaint. Audiences were kinder than critics, suggesting the film lands better for fans willing to meet it on its own terms.
“Power Rangers doesn't quite pull off everything it wants to, but it's a fun time at the theater nonetheless.”
IGN
“Power Rangers has one of the most zig-zagged tones of any big budget studio film I've seen in a long time. It's jarring at times how often it goes back and forth between 'gritty' and 'silly'.”
Mike Ryan·Uproxx
“at its best, Power Rangers plays a little like a low-rent Breakfast Club. Unfortunately, it's not always at its best, and when it's not, you get exactly what you'd expect: generic teen hero fare.”
Bill Goodykoontz·The Arizona Republic
“the film achieves a functioning mediocrity we perhaps might have thought beyond this franchise”
