Power Rangers

As cash grabs go, this one is delightfully unconcerned with coolness, neither shying away from its chintzy roots nor ironically embracing them.

What this Power Rangers does -- unlike the show -- is explore the complexities of our core team: They're imperfect but perfect enough to be selfless and save the world.

A winning and cartoonish coming-of-age tale about supermodel-pretty misfit kids bonding in the belly of an alien spaceship.

Overall, "Power Rangers" is a sometimes funny but flawed movie full of the action that most people who want to see movies like this crave.

A work of soulless indifference.

Ultimately, this is a kids'-property superhero movie about teens getting power from ancient aliens and battling someone named Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks, taking large bites of the scenery). The filmmakers do not forget to have fun with it.

The new Power Rangers doesn't disappoint. Sure, the final fight scene could have been 10 minutes longer, but the character development here is worth the wait. And we still get plenty of action in the final half hour.

Power Rangers won't have you seeing red, feeling blue or in the pink. It's just nostalgic fun that would have improved with a better villain and less on-screen merchandising.

It reinvents the franchise in a bold and mature way, while never losing sight of the campy fun that made Power Rangers so beloved to begin with, and for that alone, that makes this movie a worthwhile surprise.

It's cheesy but endearing; there are worse things for teenagers to spend their allowance on.

Power Rangers plays something like The Breakfast Club crossed with Transformers (to which this film makes a couple of direct nods).

Unfortunately, this reboot strains so hard to distance itself from the original TV series, it could spoil your childhood memories.

The morphing teenage misfits don't stand a chance against the cliche-ridden script and clunky direction.

At once awful and awfully amusing, this ramshackle franchise reboot fuses bad acting, worse writing and enough spunk to make the whole thing seem charming in its monumental stupidity.

Even though there are faults, it still somehow manages to get the job done.

I was a kid and this was my first exposure to the franchise, I'm sure I'd be hooked. For everyone else, this just doesn't have enough power.

Slick, yet silly reboot - scheming for franchise possibilities.

The only one who manages to shine is Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa; the actress - active and sarcastic - moves with determination and willing to destroy this repertoire of clichés seen over and over in action films. [Full review in Spanish]

A movie that only will entertain children, like finding an old toy in the yard. [Full review in Spanish]

A product filled with nostalgia, which updates an old formula and seems to work at times.It's not the movie of the year, nor do I think that was aiming to be it. [Full review in Spanish]

Power Rangers' saviour is its own knowingness, its own touch of self-reflective cynicism; though the key here is that it never launches itself into the full meta-attack we've come to expect in a post-Deadpool era.

Perhaps it is plagued with clichés, but it manages to be entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

The new Power Rangers reboot offers some entertainment for the fans but fails to find the right tone. [Full review in Spanish]

Fun enough to reignite a dormant franchise with new potential. [Full review in Spanish]

An especially tedious reboot...

I can think of few things that could be better without betraying the nature of this franchise because it's a great movie. [Full review in Spanish]

Kids with limited movie experience might go for it, but that silly M rating is likely to keep them away from this overlong misfire.

This film seems to fulfill its promise of having The Breakfast Club (1985) vibes, focusing on the emotional dynamics between the protagonists that, ends up becoming ballast. [Full review in Spanish]

The question is: Do we really need the Power Rangers? For many of us, the answer is a simple, No.

2017's Power Rangers is trying to be an adult, but it doesn't need to grow up too fast.
