Finally watched this then.

Guess I'll go with MM here and list some stuff.

Pros:
+Barbara Goodson. Glad she came back for this.
+Easter eggs were quite nice, and nods to different teams and things associated with the Zordon era were a neat touch
+Walter as Zack was fantastic, easily the best performance out of everyone there.
OPENING MORPH+EXPLOSION WITH MUSIC BLARING IN THE BACKGROUND
+Relatively fitting tribute to Truy Thang and then a nice dedication at the end to her and JDF.

Nitpicks:
..No actual Bulk and Skull. They did get a little nod with the advertising board though.
..Not enough screaming and it wasn't cheesey ENOUGH.
..Alpha 9. Kinda just there for me, not really a big deal but loads better than whatever the hell they were doing with Alpha in Turbo.
..Budget. Now I know it wasn't going to be stellar but I am not even sure if the CGI is better than what was in the 1995 movie! Looks awful for the zord fight, and every fight scene baring the first one lacked quite the OOMF that ranger fights usually had. No feeling of impact with the putties who can't even make noise properly and the action was rather poor jusy about every time. Really coulda used a better budget.
..The way characters were written out/not able to appear was kinda believable and totally what I expected, so that was nice?

Cons:
-Minh Kwan. Sucks so much. Really not a great dynamic and honestly it is by no means a bad performance. However, she could easily fit on a team with ranger teams of TODAY, not the team there now. Stuck out like a sore thumb and seemed to constantly want to prover herself, seek revenge, standard stuff that new ranger teams have to figure out for themselves and I call bullshit on the morpher suddenly working for her when she figures out the right thing to do.
-Having the final fight take place on the moon. Rita just chucking her minion out and then lightly tossing the staff to the moon compared to how she makes them grow in comparison to the original series is pretty limp tbh.
-Rocky. HE SUCKS. Never been a particularly great Red....although I suppose this is a nitpick but he belongs at the bottom so I ain't changing it.

Overall a healthy dose of nostalgia that can carry this hard but it gets let down by budget, Minh may get on your nerves and ultimately some performances were a bit wooden but overall I don't regret watching it.
