Elyise Gehrung

I watched the Power Rangers as a kid and eventually grew out of it. When this movie came out in 2017, I wasn't really excited because I thought it was going to be just another bad adaptation of something I liked as a kid. But i finally watched it and was blown away. I thought it had heart and comedy and the perfect amount of action. I think the cast is great. The story they build for each character is quick but you understand right away what the issues are and what they are fighting for. And I really wished they made a second movie because I always love rewatching it hoping for more.

I notice a lot of people think this movie is too sexual and ask why the women are wearing those costumes that basically expose them. It is supposed to be about the male fantasy and male gaze, and how they portray women. But these women show that they are fighters and take back their sexuality. The fight sequences are shown to represent their dissociation from having to sell their bodies. They are quite literally fighting to save their own lives. The ending was a sort of a twist and strange but I still very much enjoyed it. I found it very inspiring as a young woman. This film is very quotable IMO. And the soundtrack is immaculate. I recommend this film to anyone and everyone. But of course it is not going to have the same effect on everyone as it did on me, but I still think everyone should see this movie at least once. But personally, I have seen it 3+ times and I still get those feelings of inspiration and power. Thank you Zack Snyder for this amazing piece of art!!!

I thought it was just such a good movie. The story was really interesting. I love how the cast was minimal. They casted the parts of Leyla and Ali really well. They had such good chemistry. The music was really cool as well. I think a lot of it really suited the scenes it was played in. I really liked how they divided it into several parts. I loved how they were both going to the same destination with similar expectations and motives but it took a turn for both of them. The ending was simple but I couldn't help but tear up. I highly recommend this movie. I will definitely be watching again!
