Power Rangers Mystic Force

just watched the promo for the second time and it was pretty cool. this is by far the weirdest generation of power rangers so far. I'm happy to see that udonna's character is nothing like princess sheyla's from wildforce! they aren't sparing any change when it comes to effects. all though the last two seasons have had their moments of looking quite nice, this one so far has been pretty action packed. and as for a favorite season it's pretty hard to say... Loved In space, Dinothunder was the most character driven, and SPD Had a lot of cool effects and costumes although the dialogue was a little stale. i've seen every episode of power rangers in the last 14 years.... and I"m 26 years old!!! I know it seems ridiculous but I'm training to animate cartoons and kid TV is great research material. plus I just love the show. I've got a full size original wildforce red ranger in my living room! if anyone's looking for a my-space buddy look up (red on the inside) at area code 22901.

Power Rangers was originally a karate (gongfu/kungfu) based series. The actors were clearly drawn from either gymnasts or martial arts disciplines. Over time, however, they've depended less and less on martial arts and phyiscal stunt choreography more and more on special effects. This series looks like the next step in this wrong direction. Maybe things will get better, as it was only the first, introductory episode. But I don't have much hope, as they seem to be using actors with little or no martial arts skill at all. In fact, at least 3 of the actors seem to be dancers. That provides flexibility and body control to do some martial arts-like moves, I guess, but they don't seem to give them the chance. And the morphing sequence is ridiculously long. It takes nearly 30 seconds per Ranger. What are the bad guys gonna do while 2.5 minutes pass? Just sit there and play gin rummy?

Maybe it's a little early to know for sure, but it seems like the worst Power Rangers group ever.

Why simply because of the characters that appear in this one it had a story and good mystic vibe to it.

okay so the storyline is pretty generic, good guys fight bad guy bad guy turns good and all is saved. but thats not the what i really tend to notice now, one of the main villains Koragg is basically a purple armoured bad ranger, the first thing you notice when looking at him is the beauty of his ranger form, easily more effort than ever before has been put into designing the new ranger outfit. so i give praise to the costume designers, however, as far as it goes, this season of power rangers is, well lets face it, ridiculous, a steam train Zord, a feline genie, prince rangers and a villain with a piranha for a head is beginning to push it when the villain is a main character in the plot, more freaky than fearsome, one thing that got me was that PR SPD featured something that no other season did, the made the Zords much more mobile (including: tech rolls, dives, leaps) all of which looked great and yet they took this away in mystic force, shame really. a slight let down but the armour easily puts a great spin on things

I have been a Power Rangers fan off and on for the past 13 years. Over those 13 years the Power Rangers have gone from cultural phenomena to cult classic and has had its ups and downs in quality. This time around it has bottomed out when it comes to quality. This is with out a doubt in my mind the worst ranger series in memory. The acting is terrible, even for a children's show, the storyline is weak at best, and the characters are laughable attempts at rehashing some of the great characters of old, namely Bridge. Some basic problems: 1) Constant breaks in accent with Chip and Madison (Is what you get when you go for local over quality) 2) What's with the Harry Potter getup? Are they trying to get sued by JK Rowling? 3) Again with the reluctant Red Ranger. Since pinky didn't like her colour, why not make her the reluctant ranger 4) A sixth ranger at the beginning, and the bad guy turned good storyline starting so soon. WTH 5) A regression to the 1993 to 1996 cheese ball PR series, instead of continuing with the growth and maturity that PR received over the years with the seriousness of In Space, Time Force et al. Disney has failed to live up to its commitment it should fell towards the fans of the show. The failure to produce any sizable DVD collection, the failure to grow the show, the failure to compete any sizable resources to the show and the failure to use quality actors have all been shortcomings of the Rangers series since Disney took over. Disney has screwed up far to many things, and now they are screwing up the much beloved Power Rangers.
