Power Rangers: Reboot

Something that has attracted my interest recently has put me into an odd situation, is rebooting a children's show into a gritty movie a way to ruin a long lasting franchise, or a revival that has been long needed for a beloved T.V. show. I'm of course referring to the new power ranger reboot starring Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Banks, and Bill Hader. This new take on the classic Power Rangers franchise brings a gritty reality to the almost comic action of the children's show. For me, power rangers was something I would always enjoy on Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal and I would be oozing with excitement to see what would happen. Now as I recall them, they were almost too cheesy to be actually entertaining to adults, but for a child's mind it was something to revel in. As we begin to delve into this child's classic, I can see now where this idea may be successful with adults. The themes within it could expand and could create a strong narrative to follow. This has worked before with moving super heroes to the big screen with grittier takes, so why should it not with with Power Rangers. Some are skeptical, and to be honest I am skeptical as well, but with something like this I can see it becoming a movie that I will really enjoy. It's either that or I'll close my eyes and brace for impact, because we could end up facing another movie with Ivan ooze as the villain.
