rather spiffy.

I didn't mind 'em at first, but I dislike them the more I see them. They look like they're gonna be big lumps of overbusy Iron Man by way of The Guyver represented by a ton of CGI. The fun thing about Power Rangers is that there are real people in those costumes jumping around and doing fun stunt work. They've isolated and eliminated the best thing about the property.

Ant Man, Black Panther, and Spider-Man prove Japanese-style superhero costumes can work great, so it was an easily avoidable misfire.

And the odd sparkly coloration reminds me of lazer tag or a bowling alley. Just go solid colors. Seriously, ever since Spider-Man I never understood the mindset of "No one wants to see brightly colored people in spandex". Yes we do. I hope to god that I get to see a Wolverine (even if it isn't Hugh Jackman) in a yellow and blue suit before my time is up on this earth.

^Marvel has straight-up proven classic, colorful superhero costumes can work great with only slight tinkering, but it's like a lot of studios haven't got the memo even though The Avengers was, what? Five years ago?

New posters teasing the appearance of the zords. The blue ranger's awkward pose has to be seen to be believed (definitely meme-worthy).

EDIT: I couldn't resist.

I'm so glad we got the new Voltron on Netflix. Fans who have been wishing for years for a live-action Voltron movie should be resigned to the fact that it really can't ever happen, and probably shouldn't especially now. Although Voltron (in the U.S.) predates MMPR (in the U.S.) by nearly a decade, I cannot see a version of Voltron where it is not wrongly accused of being a MMPR ripoff. Besides the Netflix series is so well done, I look forward to new episodes of it for a long time to come.

Very Chronicle-esque, but this is clearly marked as a teaser, so the full movie may not necessarily be as grimdark as this edit would have us believe.

[Gargantuan Gargantua]

Definitely wasn't feeling that.

Will wait until we see some Mega Zord action.

[lhb412]

Um... I kinda like the small town setting, but the complete lack of Power Rangerism hurts it. If it went all-out crazy with monsters and Zords in the last ten seconds it would be a lot more effective in a "Ha! See what you were being led up to!" kind of way.

My only issue is this trailer makes everything look to serious.

^ i dont know, a teaser should give some hint at the tone... it starts out looking like a grimdark "breakfast club" before going straight to a "chronicle" clone. The only thing that sets this aside from looking like a generic "i am number four" type movie is Rita's brief scene. I think the good doctor kain hit the nail on the head when he questioned the target audience... That said we still haven't seen Cranston, Zords, Monsters, Putties, etc so lets hope this is the first 20 minutes of the film...cause if its 2/3 of the movie we could have a repeat of "fan4stic" of wasted potential and pacing.

The point of a teaser is to get us interested in the movie. This did not do that for me. I don't see anything that retains the spirit of PR.

[Inui Takumi]

I actually thought the teaser trailer was really good. While I've always wanted this movie to have a similar tone to the TV series, I figured they'd go a bit more serious with this to target the teen demographic as well as moviegoers who aren't that into Power Rangers but want something more in line with the current crop of superhero movies. And honestly, they could have gone way darker than this. From what little we see, it seems like an acceptable amount to me.

And I'm glad this trailer focused on the characters a bit more because as much as I want to see a bunch of action with the suits and the Zords and whatnot, the characters make or break a movie or show. And since I'm already not really digging the suits or the mechs, the characters and action are my last hope. They feel grounded and fairly realistic, which I appreciate. But you can still feel the essence of the original MMPR characters within them, which is important. And ever since the cast started doing panels and interviews, I've really been rooting for them so I'm glad to see their characters having promise.

Also, since it is a teaser trailer, I'm glad we only saw like half a second of the suit during the morphing sequence. It makes everyone want to see more from this movie and excited for the actual trailer. Again, a well done trailer for a movie I was really nervous about as a fan of the franchise.
