What to Know

Critics Consensus

For better and for worse -- too often the latter -- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie captures the thoroughly strange aesthetic of the television series that inspired it.

Obnoxiously loud and busy, it drips with goo and slime and contains an exhausting amount of action, funny voices and snot jokes. Go to Full Review

The Rangers themselves are so painfully bland. Go to Full Review

It's easy to see why the Rangers are popular. Even before they magically morph, the kids are sky-diving, roller-blading and living without parental authority. And they kick serious butt. But it's all done quite unhumorously. Go to Full Review

The nostalgia factor is high and, while I certainly enjoyed revisiting this relic from my youth, I can't in good conscience say it's a good movie (despite all the best efforts of Paul Freeman's Ivan Ooze). Go to Full Review

Nostalgia carries a lot of weight, but you can see the seams of the troubled production in both the narrative and the (lack of) character development. Ivan Ooze is a queer villain for the ages, but sidelining Rita? Ayeyaiyai Go to Full Review

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is kind of a mixed bag - a Frankenstein. Some things are genuinely bad, while others are actually pretty good. In between, there are those moments that are so bad they become good all over again. Go to Full Review

DanTheMan 2 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 Derek J.
