Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Mar 5 I was six when this movie came out. It was next level. The effects probably weren’t even good then. But Kimberly, the toys and White Ranger!

But the child in me—the one who watched every episode religiously and used his parents’ furniture as stunt equipment—prayed for a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie like this, and those prayers were answered. This film gave 9-year-old me everything I wanted and more. The only reason I’m giving it a 4/5 instead of a perfect score is because Zack, Trini, and Jason weren’t in it. Other than that, it absolutely nailed the feel of the show while still finding smart ways to connect with its target audience. This movie isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay. It’s for that group of kids who grew up morphing in their living rooms. And now, getting to share that feeling with my son makes it even more special. This film deserves a better score See more Lysander W @meowerrangers26 Jan 16 i love this movie its great blue ranger my fave carecter id rather rate it 10000000 See more Josh H @LazyZombie25 Jan 1 Like if Troma made a big budgeted, high-energy Fantasy/Kung-Fu movie, for kids. The soundtrack is great and Ivan Ooze is the role Paul Freeman will be remembered for. Read Roger Ebert's review of the movie before watching to see that he hadn't, despite putting it on his list of Worst Movies of 1995. See more DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Sep 24 You ooze, you lose. Obnoxiously loud, horrendously cheesy and aggressively '90s, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie drips with plenty of goo and slime, carrying with it an attitude of go-go relentlessness and silly escapism. It's completely bonkers, lively, colourful, cheerfully violent and utterly stupid. One that can't decide whether it wants to be a winningly ramshackle production, like the TV series, or a more polished one; the result is a wildly enjoyable and awkward mishmash of slick special effects, an exhaustive amount of action, unwieldy pun-filled dialogue, a hard-rock soundtrack, and incongruous pilferings. If there was ever a script, it seems to have been left behind while everyone went on location, though, for once, it seems that Saban threw the production something equivalent to that of a proper budget, given this is one of the few Power Rangers productions that didn't rely on stock footage for its action. Bryan Spicer's direction is genuinely quite good, maintaining a likeable comic-book aesthetic and sense of wonder, while Graeme Revell delivers a wonderfully whimsical musical score. It's really the cast who deserve the most praise for delivering all this hilariously cheesy dialogue with a straight face; how Paul Freeman didn't break down in hysterics is to be commended. Bolting along at a breakneck pace, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie might do little more than resemble multiple episodes of the show strung together, but any film that ends on Van Halen's Dreams is alright in my book. See more Jace T @CineChamber Sep 18 So I grew up on The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and I grew up in love with this movie! Rewatching as an adult, the movie is of course bad. It's made for kids, but the film is also so much fun to watch and it positively a great time. Ivan Ooze is so much fun as a villain, and the new animals/zords the Rangers unlock are pretty cool (though the CGI is atrocious). The best part is the emergency button! See more Read all reviews
