‘Power Rangers’ Review: DC & Marvel Move Over, 90’s Teen Superheroes Get a Movie Makeover; Diverse Characters Show Promising Future
Haim Saban's "Power Rangers" opened to a spectacular box-office weekend proving that Lionsgate was right about this one. Fans couldn't help but notice the seamless diversity in the film that even big comic powerhouses, DC and Marvel, are yet to achieve.
According to Screen Rant, "Power Rangers" reboot has received favorable reviews so far and the talented young cast are acknowledged for their work. The movie takes these rangers back in time when they learn about their superpowers. The kids adjust to their new life behind the super suit, while battling much real teen issues such as identity crises, disturbed families and real responsibilities.
Director Dean Israelite and John Gatins, screenplay writer, gave a modern spin to the 90s classic characters. The new rangers are not only fresh, in terms of their outlook, but have also become somewhat of a role model for its viewers and loyal fans. Critics believe that "Power Rangers" will be able to build a solid franchise going forward.
Meanwhile, the fans notice that the film's diverse cast is almost refreshing to see in a superhero platform. Fans points out that "Power Rangers" is a crowd-pleaser because it has all the elements necessary to make it whole. Right from exploiting their origins to real world problems, the making of a threat and other things necessary to complete the story.
The superhero fandom couldn't help but notice that other powerful studios are yet to make a film that has the completeness and depth of "Power Rangers." In fact, "Wonder Woman" is the only such film among DC and Marvel Universe that is led by a female character.
What makes "Power Rangers" so exciting is its profundity that came from limited resources offered to Israelite while making this film. The Guardian calls the latest superhero film the best in the world that is being dominated by the likes of DC's Batman and Marvel Iron Man.
