Krispy Kreme: Review

• Hope you like Krispy Kreme!

• Plot Summary: "Five ordinary teens must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it's too late, band together as the Power Rangers."

• I'm gonna be honest and get right to the point. This movie SUCKED! I would be shocked if this wasn't on my top 10 worst movies of 2017 list. I think the only people that will enjoy this movie are Power Ranger fans or 7-year-olds. So unless you have a 7-year-old, DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! It's a waste of time. Let me list the reasons why.

• I had no interest in this movie at all. I've always thought a Power Rangers movie sounded stupid. All I know of them is that they had a cheesy looking show back in the day, and I got my picture taken with them at Disney World a while back. So if you're a Power Rangers fan, (I'm surprised there are any) I have no way of telling if you'll like this movie. I thought the trailers showed a little potential. If I didn't review movies I wouldn't have seen this movie. It has a lot of seriously nerdy stuff. Bryan Cranston plays a character named Zordon. And the big finale battle has a giant weird golden eagle thing.

• I thought the characters were completely boring. They are all completely lazy, generic, and cliche characters with no depth. The leader is a kid who gets into a lot of trouble and the blue ranger is cliche nerd. Everyone else I couldn't even tell you what they are. There are 5 actors playing the rangers, and 3 of them are terrible in this movie, 2 of them are struggling. The terrible actors were Becky G (Trini - Yellow Ranger), Ludi Lin (Zack - Black Ranger), RJ Cyler (Billy - Blue Ranger). And the struggling ones were Naomi Scott (Kimberly - Pink Ranger) and Dacre Montgomery (Jason - Red Ranger). Bryan Cranston and Bill Hader didn't do enough of anything to even judge. So the only person that did a good job was Elizabeth Banks. I thought her character was kinda generic and boring at times but she did a great job. Her performance was as chilling and scary as she could make it. Even though her character was a bit like the Enchantress from Suicide Squad doing things the Terminator would do like going into a jewelry story, I have to give Elizabeth Banks a lot of credit.

• The editing and the cinematography are really bad. The cinematography is disgusting and it reminded me of Transformers. Just about every scene has the camera tilted to make it seem cool. The action is terribly edited with AWFUL use of slow motion. The CGI is really bad at times. There's one scene where we only see the shadow of Elizabeth Banks stabbing a guy and it literally looked like stop motion. And instead of having a score, this movie just uses regular music to make a scene feel cool. It reminded me of Suicide Squad, where every scene has a modern day rock song and it feels extremely desperate. Poor POOR White Stripes. It's so depressing to see that Hollywood is filled with desperate movie studios that are doing ANYTHING they can do to make their movie seem cool. So they take advantage of awesome bands like The Black Keys and The White Stripes. There's even a scene where the Power Rangers start talking about Iron Man and Spider-Man. The studio wants you to like their movie so bad that they will mention other stuff you like in hopes of you liking this movie more for some reason. RAAAAHH! This movie sucks!

• If I had to guess, I would guess that the director of this movie has only directed Walmart commercials. As soon as the Power Rangers get their suits on, they walk towards the camera trying to be cool but it's completely cheesy. They play a song that I'm assuming is from the original show. I have no clue why they used it. Imagine if Hanz Zimmer in The Dark Knight used the original Adam West Batman theme song. The script is repulsive. Every single joke falls flat. The humor is ALMOST as bad as Disney Channel. The only thing that made me laugh EVER was Bill Hader. And I only give credit to him for his delivery. The script is terrible. The exposition is terrible. Every character is an idiot. Everything about the plot is cliche and paint by the numbers and felt like a video game. The villain is the same villain we've seen a billion times in Hollywood today. Which is a weird looking person trying to take over the world and sending all their minions to fight. I couldn't care less about the finale fight scene.

• And the worst thing about this movie is that the last 45 minutes of the movie is a Krispy Kreme commercial. The thing that the rangers are supposed to protect and the villain wants is hidden in a Krispy Kreme. There is a scene with the villain sitting down and eating a Krispy Kreme donut. There's a line that goes "Krispy Kreme must be a special place." Please don't give these people your money. My grade for Power Rangers is a D. This movie is worse than all the other movies that are out right now. Go see Logan, or Beauty and the Beast, Even Kong: Skull Island is better. I haven't even seen Life yet and I know it's better.
