About the same. It wasn't very good. It actually reminds me of the DCEU films that were coming out back then-- a bit broodier take on something that used to be fun and silly. Their chief antagonist is a witch that lives on the moon and they fight in giant robots that combine into an even bigger robot. I don't think a more serious tone was the way to go with the material. Plus, it was just an ugly looking film. Didn't bother seeing it after those trailers. Didn't seem to know if it was a comedy or a coming-of-age story or an action movie. From what I heard, they don't even suit up until the last twenty minutes of the movie. Screw that. You're almost entirely correct. Power Rangers isn't a terrible film, but you ain't missing much if you haven't seen it. Just like what happened to Fant4stic, almost nothing happens for the entire runtime until the climax of the film and while action scenes aren't bad there, they could've been better. And yes, it also has some issues with the tone. That being said, cast members almost make the film watchable at least and it DOES have 3-acts structure. If MCU made the exact same film, it still would've gotten mixed reviews because of the said elements.

Rule of thumb is that Disney fare gets a in dubio bonus of approximately 30%, especially blockbuster fanboy fare. You see it with similar franchises too, eg the amateurish, rushed rehash of Force Awakens is in 90s, so is TheLastJedi. Modern media lives from industry promotion monies, and you do not bite the mightiest hand that feeds you too much. Critics also go soft on certain political aspects (cf Star Wars): eg last Transformer was in the soaring upper 90% bc it changed the lead (and main villain) to a capable pretty girl, who has a romance with a black bumbling male and the Bay-ian clobber porn is replaced by teen angst and sentimentality etc. This has to be one of the most retarded claims that I've ever read. Bumblebee was praised because it wasn't a clunky mess like some of the Transformers sequels were - and this is coming from someone who didn't hate those films. Even the people who don't like the whole PC thing said that they thoroughly enjoyed the film. Also, if critics only care about political correctness, how come Black Christmas is getting pretty lame reviews overall? Finally, that whole 30% thing sounds like it's coming from someone who thinks that The Emoji Movie is a masterpiece because by this kind of logic that could cause someone's brain to bleed, Toy Story should've gotten 70% on RottenTomatoes and Wreck-It Ralph should've gotten a similar Tomatometer as Man of Steel - which is ludicrous since just about everyone will say that BOTH Toy Story and Wreck-It Ralph are far better than Man of Steel will ever be.

The question is if MCU made a Power Rangers movie that was exactly the same and the only difference was that it had a "Marvel Studios" title screen at the beginning of the movie and a post-credits scene that had nothing to do with the movie, what would be the RT score. And the answer would be 90% or higher. Same with the Howard the Duck movie. If MCU made that same Howard the Duck movie and just added a "Marvel Studios" title screen at the beginning of the movie and a post-credits scene that had nothing to do with the movie, the RT score would be 90% or higher. LOL, jealous much? We all know you have a hatred towards the MCU and will rate it 1/10 no matter what. If The Godfather had "Marvel Studios" in front of it, you would claim it be one of the worst films ever made. Exactly. The reason why Spider-Man: Homecoming was praised even though it arguably had a lot less action scenes than Power Rangers is because the tone is a lot more consistent throughout the film and while the film itself was slow-paced, things were actually happening throughout the film. Also, DC-Fan is astoundingly delusional if he seriously thinks that Howard the Duck would've been praised if the exact same film was made by Marvel Studios. You want to know why? Just take a look at this video:

The film was praised for a broad variety of reason, implicitly and explicitly. As I demonstrably stated: PC-bonus, drama instead of clobber porn and - as I indicated - "etc". Btw "Etc" (Latin: et cetera) means that there are additional reasons (ie demonstrative, not exhaustive list), including the one you named. Learn what language means before you melt down and write. cringe² , how surprising. now, which type of logical fallacy, bias and personal incredulity are at play here? If you can name them you redeem yourself! Try.

You're accusing critics of being biased? Obviously it's not true, but I'll play along for now. We can't make such predictions. Even though the M.C.U. movies have differences in style and tone, there's still a guide every director and script writer has to follow in order for each new installment to feel like it's part of the same universe. If there was a P.R. movie that was part of a pre-established cinematic universe, it couldn't possibly be exactly like the movie we saw back in 2017... nor any other P.R. movie or TV season made until now. I don't know much about the franchise, but if they did a film for each one, followed by a group film, that would actually be pretty cool. That would be like giving each G.O.T.G. character their own movie. They're an established team. I remember certain seasons like R.P.M. giving each character a flashback episode (which was like an origin story), but it was before they became superheroes. I think that if P.R. were to become a successful movie series, they'd give each P.R. team their own movie (MIGHTY MORPHIN', ZEO, TURBO, etc...) and then make a crossover movie (like LEGENDARY BATTLE). |

Thought so.
