So it's a must see if I liked BvS.

Haha, yes. I wonder if the Putties still say "Blblblblb"?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Same for me. The original arc from the beginning to when the white ranger shows up was amazing if you were the right age at the right time. I also began to realize how dumb the show was right around when MMPR was ending. Climax of the whole experience was the green ranger stuff though.

super sentai is still legit though...
i am a 35 year old man and i still love to watch Kamen Rider subbed..
It truly is the best way to watch PR. I need the BLBLBLBLBLBL, AYAYAYA, 335, and all the other great memes!
Note to future self to watch that when it happens in 15-20 years.
Edit: Seriously this may be a million dollar idea. It's probably the next cinema experience. Pay to watch a just released movie at home with thousands chatting at the same time.
Superheroes with giant fighting robots are about the furthest from irrelevant anything in Hollywood can be right now.
Yup quite the opposite than irrelevant. We are at a time that Power Ranges can afford to be a big budget ip targeting everyone not just kids. Power rangers is very close to Guardians of Galaxy or Fantastic Four.
I imagine most people thought Transformers was an irrelevant property in early 2007.

WAT.
For all the smack talk this movie is receiving, I've always had a good-ish feeling about it. Wouldn't be surprised if it lands around 60% on the Tomatometer. I mean, I'm not betting the farm on it, but...
The supporting cast is good, nothing has been utterly cringy - which separates it from something like Fantastic Four. The subsequent trailers made it clear this wasn't some kind of gritty reboot, even if the internet insists that it is.

Good or bad, I'll be watching it with my nephews. They'll get a kick out of it, which is good 
Define "better reviewed".
A game gets a 7/10 and that's a bad thing. A film gets a 70% RT and it's well received.
If it's true that it's embarrassed of its origins, then probably not.

Oh. That's not so bad I guess.
Bro, let your kids be kids. I watched Beetleborgs for fuck's sake. Dad should not be the curator of what dumb TV shows they watch. If you want to be VerySmart you can teach them about how the show was made by reusing Japanese footage.

Other than that indiewire review (which is a complete trashing yet gave it a C-... :/) it seems like the movie is a fun little adventure.
I'm seeing it this weekend, I fully expect it to bomb (early forecasts are 30 Million) but for 2 hours I'll watch a fun movie.
Though I totally give them credit for

I hear that the movies is good. Not great or amazing but good and that's more than I expected. Seeing it Saturday.

I've never told my son that something he's watching and enjoying is crap and garbage because that's ridiculous. He's a child. He can enjoy whatever he wants to enjoy. Demeaning his choice and going "lol this is so shitty" whenever he chooses to watch something like that is just enforcing my own standards onto my child. It's not letting him figure out what he likes and for why he enjoys it.
The only difference between Batman and Power Rangers is you think one looks stupid with the benefit of hindsight and the other doesn't.

Maybe when the political climate surrounding muslims isn't dominated by pure vitriol.

I don't get this "good its not at all like the thing it's based on" attitude. Why would you want an adaptation of something to be nothing at all like what it's adapting? The whole point of making this a power rangers movie is to make it feel like power rangers. There is already a giant and ridiculous variety of costumed people punching stuff to watch at a cinema. Power rangers being over the top and silly isn't something to hide from or be embarrassed of.
An adaptation that's embarrassed of it's source material is pointless.

Suggesting Suicide Squad even as a joke is an immediate close tab.

A mixed reception is about what I accepted.
Sounds it's as bad as Suicide Squad and Antman?

Is that review seriously complaining about a diverse cast
One of those movies was critically received and audiences liked it. The other is Suicide Squad

aren't early reviews usually positive?

Nah, those are early impressions that are positive most of the time, not actual reviews. Batman V Superman is a good example of that.
We knew BvS and Man of Steel were garbage right out the gate.
Twitter fan impression.
What is this?
As awful as the Power Rangers shows actually are, I completely agree.
The correct course of action is to figure out what it was that people liked about the source material in the first place, then try to give the audience an adaptation that's as good as they remember the show being, even if it wasn't actually that good.

Wait a second
Read some where Trini was gay
Not saying Antman is bad but I'm guessing that what's the reviewer meant?

This is true. Read it from a bunch of places and heard this is the case.
That whole paragraph was cringey
Like making superhero movies before Marvel
