Co Co Power Rangers.
ReplyDeleteI want the original power ranger cast in there somewhere maybe in a cameo role
ReplyDeleteWatching it. Simple as that.
ReplyDeletedo you want to see brand new characters just for the movies or one of the tv show character like the original cast MMPR
ReplyDeleteI hope this is a PG-13 deal and not a kids movie like the 1995 one. But I will most likely watch it haha
ReplyDeleteGeek feelings!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrand new characters. I don't mind if the old ones had cameos, but I'd much rather they didn't screw up my childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteI wish i can say that i'm exited or maybe even happy about the news but i'm not. After all those years they are expecting people to just go back to the cinemas and watch this but they will get a real reality check when the movie or series come out. It's just not going to be that popular as it was in the 90's.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, um, as a viewer of the original PR in my early/ mid teens, I would actually love to see this :)
ReplyDeleteIf it's Mighty Morphin so many adults are going to go see this for nostalgia's sake and take their kids or nephews/nieces as an excuse to go see it. I've told like 8 or 9 people so far already and their reactions were all basically "Whaaaaat!!! I hope they have a great pink Ranger" hahaha
ReplyDeleteDepends who its aimed at. There have been so many different series over the years that most people under 35 have seen one. My three kids love it.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing the show when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThat must happen I won't watch if Billy doesn't make an appearence.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan from the first second, I hope it will be epic. Would love Jamie Chung as the yellow ranger *-*
Oh god. The Power Rangers stopped being good after OUR generation. Everything after that was a complete disaster. Watch them screw this up as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I hope they don't kill Zordon off like they did on Power Rangers Turbo. There has never been a better mentor to the Rangers than Zordon. Also, a re-cast sounds awesome. I just hope they don't use cheesy Japanese footage anymore.
