Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Plot synopsis:
The Power Rangers participate with Bulk and Skull in a charity skydive for the Angel Grove observatory, in anticipation of Ryan's Comet which is scheduled to pass by in two days.
Bulk and Skull miss the target landing zone and accidentally land on a construction site where a giant egg has been unearthed. Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar, and Mordant arrive at the construction site and crack open the egg, releasing Ivan Ooze after 6,000 years, a morphological being who ruled Earth with an iron fist before he was overthrown by Zordon and a group of young warriors. Ivan lays siege to the Rangers' Command Center and incapacitates Zordon, robbing the Rangers of their powers. As the Rangers return to the Command Center, they find it destroyed and Zordon dying.
Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to the distant planet Phaedos to obtain the Great Power and save Zordon. On Earth, Ivan usurps Rita and Zedd, trapping them in a snow globe. Ivan sends his Tengu warriors to Phaedos and begins building an army. He uses his ooze to hypnotize the adults, forcing them to be his workforce to dig up his Ecto-Morphicon Titans, twin war machines built during his reign. When Fred Kelman, a friend of the Rangers', discovers his father missing, he finds him working at the construction site and discovers Ivan's plans.
On Phaedos, the Rangers are almost killed by the Tengu, but are rescued by Dulcea, Phaedos' Master Warrior. After hearing of Zordon's plight, she agrees to help them and takes them to an ancient ruined temple where the Rangers will have to overcome obstacles to acquire the power of the Ninjetti. Dulcea awakens each Rangers' animal spirit: Aisha is the bear, Billy is the wolf, Rocky is the ape, Kimberly is the crane, Tommy is the falcon, and Adam is the frog. The Rangers make their way to the Monolith housing the Great Power, defeat its four guardians, and retrieve the Great Power.
On Earth, Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons are completely unearthed, and he unleashes them on Angel Grove, ordering the parents to commit suicide at the construction site. Fred, Bulk, Skull and other students head to the construction site to save their parents. The Rangers return with their new animal-themed Ninja Zords and destroy one of Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons. Ivan takes control of the other and battles the Rangers himself. The Rangers lead Ivan into space right into the path of Ryan's Comet, which destroys him. His destruction breaks the hypnosis and the parents are reunited with their children. The Rangers then use the Great Power to restore the Command Center and resurrect Zordon.
In a mid-credits scene, Goldar briefly lounges in Zedd's throne being served by Mordant only to panic when Zedd and Rita appear having been released after Ivan was destroyed.

Review:
I hadn't seen the movie since '95, but my boyfriend and I went to Target and found this movie on the $5.50 shelf and I grabbed it for old times sake since he was also a Power Rangers fan when he was a kid.
We watched it and I have to say that despite how bad it is and how mega cheesy the lines and acting are, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is what it is.
Ivan then visits the command center and destroys it leaving Zordon in bad shape and now the rangers have to save the world on top of saving Zordon and become the powerful ninjas to regain their powers and defeat Ooze.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is extremely silly and cheesy, but I don't know what people were expecting when they watched it that it got such a bad rating.
But Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a classic film I think in a sense and will be a true time capsule of 1995.10/10.
The thing I liked best about the movie is the six young actors who play the Power Rangers.
One good thing about "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" is that you don't see much of two of the most brainless characters in the history of show business, Bulk and Skull.
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" has better special effects than on the show and in "Turbo", and that helps alot.
This movie was released when I was a kid, and I was already a huge fan of the Power Rangers television series (the original series is still the best!).
The horribly obvious wire work with Billy, the 'cool' new plastic suits (as opposed to the cheap spandex suits of ye olde television era), the offensively dumb Ivan Ooze villain, and especially the giant foam skeleton of a triceretops that attacks our heroes (wow, this movie has EVERYTHING!).
The Plot of the film follows the rangers of the second season of Mighty Mrphin (Rocky,Adam,Billy,Aisha,Kimberly and Tommy) battling the villain Ivan Ooze,who has been released from an egg Zordon imprisoned him in six thousand years before the events of the movie.
This film is a perfect side-watch to fans who have seen the Mighty Morphin Series,although if you aren't a fan of Power Rangers,you will more then likely find no enjoyment from this film other then the fantastic action scenes..
When I first heard about a Power Rangers movie (long ago), I was thinking, "Japanese footage on the big screen." When the movie came out, I decided to check it out.The MMPR movie doesn't have much of a groundbreaking plot (bad guy is free, Rangers must kill bad guy, save world, blah blah) and the special effects aren't exactly awe-inspiring, but at least you know those are movie effects, not like Turbo's "big-screen television episode." The first film was clearly superior because of the time, effort, and money these people has put into making a film look better than the TV show it is based upon.
2 years later, before Season 3 aired on TV, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie came out.
and will never be as good as other superhero movies like Batman Begins or Spider-Man 2, but Power Rangers is aimed for kids anyways..
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is one of my 25 year-old sister's movies that she used to watch, so I thought I would review it.
Back then when I was a kid,I thought that the Power Rangers were cool,but now I realize that all of the rangers are geeks...just plain geeks.The last time I watched this movie was when I was like 6,and I thought the movie was the best thing ever made,but I just watched it again to see what it was like,and it was just plain average.This movie does have some good pints,it has some pretty good fight scenes,good make-up effects,and just the fact that it was the classic Power Rangers,it wasnt Power Rangers Zeo,or Time Force,or whatever else they came up with,it was just the old good Power Rangers.there was some stuff I didnt like about the movie,for one,I didnt like the acting,it just didnt really seem convincing that all 6 kids were heros,but when your like 5 years old,you dont really care for stuff like acting.Another thing I didnt like was that the Power Rangers' suits didnt look all that great,but again,the suits look good if your 5.The new villains were pretty clever,but those ooze things dont have the vibe that the old puttys had.Overall,Power Rangers: The Movie is a great movie if your under 7,and its a good movie if your over 13.7 out of 10..
The Power Rangers were marginally better than they were on the small screen, but for anyone watching the movie today, there is little to get excited about.
As we were running intruder-safety drills at my school, I noticed in my teacher had the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers movie and I remembered how I use to watch the movie until I gave it away.
So, I was naturally interested in the new White Ranger, plus the addition of Aisha, Rocky and Adam, as I never actually saw Trini, Zach and Jason leave.Okay, so the movie wasn't ever gonna win any Oscars or Golden Globes (maybe a Golden Raspberry, though!), but at the time I saw it (8) it was great fun and I enjoyed every moment of it from start to finish.And while, the only ranger that seems to behold any acting talent behind those heavy-looking power helmets is Kimberly, the Pink ranger (Amy Jo Johnson - who also came to become part of the core cast for 'Felicity'), they're basically just fighting in it, so they really don't have to act an awful lot.I've seen it quite a few times since my naive 8th year, but still like it (perhaps I'm in a state of reminiscing, or extreme denial) - it's fast-packed, funky and a good 90 minutes to keep kids quiet..
Growing up in the 90s, I like others on this site used to watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on TV.
But for what its worth, its just a fun nostalgic movie that takes me back to a simpler time to when I was a kid and Power Rangers was in its prime..
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is one of my 25 year-old sister's movies that she used to watch, so I thought I would review it.Before the film was released, there was a television series, followed by another series of TV shows after this film and in 1995, Saban Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox decided to team up and bring us the first POWER RANGERS movie, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE, an Americanized motion picture based on the Sental series.While many says this film is a bomb, I think some people has also enjoyed this film and accepted it for what it is.
I have heard that there is a reboot being made and released by Lionsgate for a 2016 release and I really want to see how it's going to do.The six main actors playing our Power Rangers may not be great, but they could have been a heck of a lot worse, because they're playing heroes with superpowers, what is not to like about this film?

The suits for the Power Rangers are made out of armor and I hope they are like that for the reboot of the film series.I love the plot of the movie, too, and for them to go against Ivan Ooze was really cool and the ending climax of this movie was just fantastic and I watch the new POWER RANGERS show that is being shown on Nickelodeon and the new show is very amazing and fantastic.The music and visuals are really great for a movie like this, as well as they were in 1995 and the production design was really amazing in this film.Overall, I love MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE and it is just simply a classic film.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" is very much non-canon to the show because of the suits, Zordon's look, Angel Grove being shot in Australia, etc.
I do remember watching this movie growing up as a kid, when it was on an old VHS copy that it really had "Mighty Morphin" on it as on later DVDs took it out.
Paul Freeman who you may know him as Belloq from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" plays Ivan Ooze in the movie, and I thought he was good in it for being both evil and over the top at the same time.
Zordon, in the movie, is an actual actor in makeup, green-screened so his head is floating in the air.And the editing - the main characters always perform these over-the-top, often wire assisted martial arts, but in the movie these moves are cut just long enough to be ridiculous, and accompanied by humorous sound effects.The main characters are as useless as ever, and really it's the villains like Paul Freeman who steal the show, but if you grew up on Power Rangers and are looking for a trip down memory lane, look to the movie for some kicks..
It is one of the best movies from my childhood.Even though the film delivers a lot of clichéd jokes and gags that will put everyone in the audience to sleep, it is still entertaining to see the Power Rangers kick ass.
Not the kid down the street.Add to that the fact that each episode, up until about Power Rangers Zeo in the series collection, had a distinct moral, such as teamwork compassion, patience, etc.As for the movie in itself; it is MHO that its moral is that of teamwork, courage, compassion, and looking out for the wellbeing of others.Take this as you will..
The main kid, along with Bulk and Skull (who, while annoying, have a few good lines at the begining) could of been cut out.The soundtrack is well done (most notably is The Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a cover of Setvie Wonder's "Higher Ground, and a chatchy tune called "Trouble" by the flash fire pop group Shampoo) as is the instramental score (minus the electric guitar and the "Go Go Power Rangers theme tune)Overall, this is a well done kids movie, and the mega cheesiness that is in the seires is almost comleatly absent, and has a devillishly funny villian.
With such wit that would knock anyone of their feet, nothing was going to stop this movie However, this was when I was five.Little did I realise that what C R A P this actually was.My eight year old brother got it out again - and I thought it would be good to relive the old days, when you would come home from kinder and switch on the 4:00 ABC kids to watch them morph and kick some PUTTY a s s.I'm now seventeen, and I don't remember how I liked this movie.
The TV show is bad enough; a bunch of teenagers dress up in fluorescent primary and secondary colors to beat up a bunch of guys in old Toho monster movie costumes while talking about being good citizens, caring for the environment, whatever's politically correct.The really bad thing is someone thought it should be made into a movie.I don't know: does "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" appeal to anyone outside of its targeted demographic (i.e.
The good news: In "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie," the Saban-backed children's television commodity-turned-feature-length movie is pretty much everything fans of the awesome color-coded defenders of good could ever want.
This is also the first incarnation of "Rangers" to feature completely original material, instead of stock footage borrowed from Japan's "Super Sentai," the show that inspired "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." The choosing of the show's original stars instead of new actors was also a plus.Problems abound in "Movie," the simple fact that it seems like an extended of version of the show.
Most telltale about how much we've grown up, are the film's CGI special effects, which were brilliant for 1995 but have obviously dated and are yet another reminder that this is a film showing its age from a time when television was so much simpler.I guess "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" found its audience 12 years ago but will definitely have a hard time finding new viewers.
This is a Great Power Rangers Movie I thought Ivan Ozz is a Great Villain In My Opinion Got Great Action Fight Scenes As Well.
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie"- What was once thrilling as a child is just a little too cynical looking back as an adult....
(Heck, the movie isn't even feasibly canonical with the show given all the ret-cons and continuity errors!) And while it is far from a terrible film, this former Rangers fan feels sadly let-down looking back at a movie I once loved, now that I see it for what it is.The Power Rangers Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Billy Cranston, Aisha Campbell, Kimberly Hart, and Tommy Oliver are in for the fight of their lives when their foes Lord Zed and Rita Repulsa unearth and resurrect an ancient and vile villain known as Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman)- a "morphological" being with a wide-range of powers.
it's not the perfect pop-culture relic that we pretend it to be, and some facets of the series- including this film- are little more than cheap merchandising tools.I give "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" a sub-par 3 out of 10..
This was my first my introduction to The Power Rangers also really enjoyed the Story also great character in everyone also really enjoyed great villain in Ivan Ooze I can't still after several years I enjoyed it release I can't fault all though I would've like to seen there dinozords prior Ivans Take Over of Zordon.
Then in 1995, Saban Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox teamed up to bring us Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, a completely Americanized motion picture based upon the Sentai series.
I just know that this movie is a pretty good film for every Power Rangers fan.
People who met for the first time at the Sydney Showgrounds in 1994 working on some crazy film about coloured superheroes.So as you watch the Power Rangers Movie - remember that you're not just watching some old kids' film.
After watching this movie I came home like a kid who had way too much sugar, jumping around pretending to be a power ranger.
As if this film wasn't bad enough, they had to go and make a second Power Rangers film, when the series was starting to get tired (despite many changes happening all the time).
There are only two good things about it:The first is that your child will only be interested in Power Rangers for a few years, and then will wake up and realise there are better things out there.The second is Paul Freeman as Ivan Ooze.
As a power ranger at the time, I remember being so wowed by the look of this movie.
S10 Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995).
The last time I saw the first "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" movie was as a 10-year old in the theater in 1995.
And the Power rangers will need upgrades in order to defeat him.I've seen this movie so many times right until I lost interest in the series years later.
When was the last time you actually watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
The film includes great graphics and is full of but kicking action, that I'm sure you will enjoy it if you like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
I think it was a great idea putting the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and a film together!!!
The only thing that is really good about this movie is the creative make-up.Overall this film has a really annoying villain, some stereotypical heroes (But then again, it is Power Rangers), a lame storyline and some extremely ridiculous sound effects.
Well, years later when I watch episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers I notice how this show wasn't entirely well done or well thought out.
We have the same characters play the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but there are numerous things different from this movie than in the series.
If you watched Power Rangers back then, you'd probably think the movie was enjoyable.
I might even give this movie a lower rating than 3/10 if it wasn't for the fact that I probably would have LOVED it if I saw it when it was first released, and probably even three years later!Although it appears they're still making new Power Rangers shows of different names, the days of the original are now long over, and those who were kids in the 1990s and were fans are now much older.
