Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe characters in "Power Rangers" have all the depth and idiosyncrasy of walking talking robo-teen action figures.
The Guardian
pressWe didn't really need any of this: not the repackage, nor more superheroics, nor the closing-credits cover of Snap's The Power.

pressAction-wise it's slo-mo pyro a go go from the get go, although the whole movie feels about 20 minutes too long.
Screen Daily

Hollywood Reporter
