 Hey guys welcome back home again TV the only place on YouTube. We're all key culture collides. I'm Shannon and today I know it's been a while. I've been busy. Sorry today. I'm going to review once and always the new Power Rangers the Film whatever you want to call it out on Netflix It was kind of a letdown I want to say First and foremost The old the original Power Rangers The acting wasn't by any means Oscar worthy or anything like that But it was still entertaining With once and always The acting was way over the top I mean it was just horrible. It felt like they rushed it through so much. I really wish they would have taken a little bit more time on it and Got it right The the actors I know there they can do a lot better they've been Acting for over 30 years now They could have done so much better, but This once and always Like I said, it just seemed rushed and really kind of phoned in almost Let's talk the Megazord Megazord looked absolutely horrendous the CGI they used to Create the Megazord it looked in some it looked very short and plump In others it looked way too tall and skinny and Is it wasn't very? It wasn't very good The original Sentai footage With the actors in the actual Megazord costume Was so much better than the CGI they used to create the Megazord the individual Zords looked okay But the Megazord just it wasn't there Also Filming this on my computer real quick Mmm, let's see they really should have turned it into a A hour and a half to two hour film Like I said, it just felt really rushed the dialogue there was so So much exposition Like almost like hey, what are you doing now? You know that type of crap And I mean the stories like I said this the stories and all that from the original Power Rangers Weren't the greatest they were cheesy But they were so so much better than once and always You know, I've kind of browsed on YouTube a little bit and Seen a couple reviews of people saying how great it was and all this And I think that's just the nostalgia speaking in all actuality I am an OG Power Rangers fan. I remember sitting with a bowl of cereal the day it premiered and right in front of my TV big gold console TV and Watching it I remember seeing all the previews for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Feeling that it was going to be like a dinosaur version of Voltron, you know, and then seeing the first episode for the first time and being amazed and I was right there in the height of Power Rangers popularity and Seeing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the movie for the first time and Being there where you couldn't go to the store and just pick up a Power Rangers toy because they were all sold out Every week and to this day, I still never actually got the tall Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or any of the megas any of the Zords because of that and I the only Ranger figures actually I got from the original Mighty Morphin era were the flip Morphin style ones that they re-released But this was just a huge huge letdown for us original fans I was talking to Jared who's been on the show a couple times and He agreed it was definitely overrated I There were some things I liked I Like the fact that first of all, we never get to we never find out what SPA stands for All we know is that Adam and Aisha are across the galaxy Helping other planets and stuff. That's all we find out and You know Zack is a congress or former congressman He after a trainee dies saving Billy he takes it upon himself to become What What's her name? Minns guardian and so he retires from Congress Billy the command center isn't actually a command center. It's Princeton technologies Corporate office and stuff the upstairs is the corporate office and downstairs that the other executives and the employees and everything don't know about the downstairs level which is like the power chamber and Rita was Rita comes back because Billy and alpha 8 are trying to locate Zordon and bring him back Instead they find Rita's essence when the Z-wave hit it spread out the evil essences across the universe Rather than actually destroying them And so that's how Rita comes back and she takes it She's absorbed into alpha 8's body and I do like how the ending almost left ambiguous when Rita's destroyed because You don't know if she's actually destroyed or if she teleported out at the very last second We don't actually see her Body like explode or anything. We see energy explode, but we don't see her robotic body explode The concept for the story is good I did like the concept but everything else it was just extremely rushed and I Feel like Netflix could have done a lot better If this is what we have to look forward to in future ranger projects I Could easily do without it That being said I Hope they learn from the mistakes of once and always and Try a little bit harder next time I could easily see this Perhaps leading into a new Mighty Morphin series with a new generation of Power Rangers taking up the Mandels Maybe with Zack as the mentor and Billy Kind of providing the power chamber to them Since men's taken over as a yellow ranger and all this I just Like it's the script was the script is terrible. I Don't know how many others felt that but the script was horrible There there were some good lines some funny one-liners and everything And the idea that men couldn't morph until she Performed a selfless act or whatever that that was pretty good. I like that But the rest of it the Over The overboard Exposition and all this just relaying the backstory over and over Every every ranger's backstory and all this the acting it could have been so so much better So for once and always I'm really gonna give it a Three out of ten honestly I Will I watched it first thing this morning? I Got up and Got my kid off to school and was watching it and just finished it I Hope in the future if they do another one of these once and always They do it right they bring back the original I guess the original four since Tommy and or since just David Frank and Tui are have passed away But I don't really know much what else I can say about it because it was just If you think the original Series is bad and cheesy This is Way past This isn't even on the radar I did like the Little cameo by bulk of Skull they don't actually make a Physical appearance, but there's a billboard, you know both the skull own their own I think restaurant or something like that. I'm not I it was kind of a blink and you'll miss it type thing That was nice The juice bar was nice. The lighting could have been a lot better in there And yes, it does look a lot smaller like Zach says or was it Billy that said that? Anyway Those are my thoughts on once and always this summer I am I'll be graduating With my bachelors in psychology Next month so this summer I will have a lot more time on my hands to bring you guys more videos I Didn't get a lot of videos in the last summer because I was working on three different books Those are out now. I just look up S. M. Cornthwaite on Amazon you have the Hollow screams series for children Very similar to goose bumps are you for the dark all that stuff The haunting of hell's hollow, which is for very mature audiences Tales from hell's hollow, which is kind of a all ages horror short stories You know and then my first book Jack the Ripper the man behind the blade check them out They're all available on Amazon so Take care geeks
