Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2017 movie

(I didn't see this posted elsewhere, and while it could go in Super Sentai, it's not really the same thing.  PR is an adaptation of Super Sentai.)

So, question for everyone, except Arminus who has no opinion on this what so ever(Not even a neutral one, and he isn't a fan.  Though one would think you could have an opinion on something you're not a fan of).  What do you guys think of the official trailer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?  I'm especially curious about those who aren't fans of Power Rangers on what they think of the trailer.  Is it interesting?  Is it meh?  Is it like no, just no?  I'm curious.  Also, let's use this topic to discuss the film.  We can decide whether to include the TV series or make a separate topic for that later.  I'm interested to hear your guys thoughts.  As for me, I'm finding this interesting, and am looking forward to it.  So long as key features are maintained, catch phrases and the likes, I'm good.  Especially if Alpha 5 goes "AYE YI YI YI YI!" in the movie.

i'm going to watch it, because i loved Power Rangers as a kid and a movie like that is specifically designed to press all of my nostalgia buttons until money falls out and i know that but i'm going to go have all my nostalgia buttons pressed until money falls out because i am a misshapen stunted manchild unable to let go of my blinkered foggy childhood memories

but that's just me

I grew up on Power Rangers, but I can honestly say that the franchise holds no nostalgic value for me... I guess that Power Rangers just seems too childish for me to justify watching again and I haven't watched an episode since I was eight years old. In fact, I was taken aback a few years ago when my then twelve year old friend asked me if I wanted to watch a Power Rangers VHS tape.

So, naturally, after watching the trailer, I had no inspiration to shell out my money to watch the movie. 

I also don't appreciate the deviation they seem to be making from the generally light-hearted, campy, beat-em-up formula that the TV series and previous movies had for a more serious and realistic tone that seems to be modeled after the current superhero movie schtick.

This being said, the movie does look well put together and if it does well, I may sucker myself into watching it.

yeah like i expect it to be garbage but if i'm honest with myself Power Rangers was garbage anyway even when i was a kid so basically this movie's conception is pretty much destined to be garbage in garbage out

i mean Zordon first asks for "five teens with attitude" and somehow expects that to actually work out so right out of the gate we're in trouble
