This may not endear me to Bryan, but I should admit that when I was a kid I never watched the show (nor did I know anyone who did), but for some reason my friends and I made fun of it anyway – to this day I’m struggling to write the title properly instead of “Mighty Moron Chowder Ranchers.” I dunno what this ridicule was borne from, but you know, it was pretty hypocritical. I like/liked a lot of questionable shows (and movies) in my time, and I never watched it to know if it was really questionable anyway! But I certainly never thought I’d watch this movie, but by the time I sat down to it, I was pretty curious. Would I find out I’d missed out on something I would’ve loved as a kid?
Truth is, I don’t know. The movie is, uh…not very good. Like I said, I’ve never watched the show, so I apologize if there’s vital info I get wrong here. It’s based on some mythic mumbo jumbo about an powerful intergalactic being and six teenagers he empowered to fight evil, and in this particular story, an imprisoned super bad guy gets out and they have to travel across the galaxy to find the source of their power and, uh, reset it I guess and save the world. Along the way they transform into the Power Rangers to fight various groups of minions, spout off some of the most eye-rolling quip I’ve ever heard, and meet a scantily clad warrior lady who helps them tap into their greater powers. But none of that is necessarily more mumbo-jumboish than dozens of other shows I love, to be honest.
