Full confession! I have no idea what the Power Rangers are. Well, I know who they are and what they do and how they get their powers, but beyond that knowledge, this is all foreign territory to me. Which is perfect, because Lionsgate needs fans of the franchise and non-fans to see this film. They're hoping and praying, well they're probably not praying, but they're are desperate with this film. They had Twilight, but that's gone, and Hunger Games is over, and it didn't bow out on the strongest note. Divergent has been downgraded to tv. They're rumors that they will not be making a final film. Not enough people went to see Now You See Me 2, and it flopped critically and financially. So Lionsgate is hoping this is their next big franchise for them. What makes this more risky is that they cast unknowns for the roles of the rangers. The only names I know are Bryan Cranston as the Ranger's mentor named Zordon, and Elizabeth Banks as the film's villain, whose name is Rita Repulsa. From the look of the suits it's very clear that someone stole some Iron Man suits and made them their own suits. So right now I'm gonna watch the trailer and then give you my thoughts. You can watch the trailer too, by clicking or taping on this link.
Okay. First reaction is mixed. I like some of what I see, but what I see is very cliche'd. I mean if Lionsgate's goal is trying to make this as non-cliche'd as possible, they're failing. I mean it checks off every cliche in the book. Misfit school students, check. Mean girls, check. Misfit students find powers by a lucky situation. Every high school, superhero origin story is here. In the teaser no less. Lionsgate needs to have more than what is shown in this to make the film work. It feels very small though. Nothing is as grand as such a blockbuster would be, but maybe that's Lionsgate's strategy, but going down that path is also risky. Also can we mention that creepy and awkward moment when Elizabeth Banks's character is hovering over Kimberly or Trini, whoever it is they look almost the same, in that awkward position. Weird, right. One last thing. Like the teaser it is, it gives us a glimpse of Jason suiting up. What a tease. I would've liked to see all of them fully suit up and doing stuff. I know a great portion of the visual effects are not complete yet, and I know it's a teaser, but c'mon. I guess we'll know what happens on March 24th, 2017. Alright, that's my reaction to the teaser trailer of Power Rangers. What did you think? Did you like the trailer? Are you a Power Rangers fan? I'll research the history of the Power Rangers a bit to give a feel for what the film will be about. Thanks for reading, I'm the film fanatic, bye-bye.
Now through with my two-year hiatus, I am back to reviewing movies once again! Seeing as the last review was of a Sony-Marvel film, it's fitting that my return is a review of their latest entry in the ongoing "Spider-Verse" saga!
"Dallin, I've sent you a message from the not to distant past. When your time nears the release of Tom Cruise's new film, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, your mission should you choose to accept it, is to rank all five Mission Impossible films worst to best. Your team that will help you accomplish this mission is Netflix, DVD, Computer, Facebook, and Instagram. This message will self-destruct in three seconds." Thanks past me, I accept. I improvised this opening to not only bring humor right off the bat, but because this has been in development since July. I had to watch movies two and three, because I hadn't seen them before, and I had to re-watch Rouge Nation, because I didn't remember a good portion of the film since I watched it for the first time in December of last year. But it took long, because school started, I started my first year of Seminary, I go to babysit some kids for a long period of time. Things were changing that I couldn't make time to w...
I'm a huge fan of superhero films. Many of you readers likely know this by now. I love watching them, finding their deeper meanings, learning how they were made, but most of all, researching what impact they had on audiences when released. In other words, which of them were the most groundbreaking. In many of my studies, superhero films such as Richard Donner's "Superman: the Movie," Tim Burton's "Batman," Bryan Singer's "X-Men" and Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" have earned such status. This is because they helped influence what direction superhero movies would go in and helped determine whether the genre was viable. While these aforementioned films are good, are they groundbreaking? I asked myself this when I decided to create a list of groundbreaking superhero films. With this list, I want to nail down which superhero films are the most revolutionary. For this list, I've decided to narrow the number down to just five, and...
