What a long and at times exhausting journey the last three years has been. From the initial announcement of the movie to the walk in to the worldwide premiere in Los Angeles we have all waited a very long time for this movie to come out. And finally it is here – the Power Rangers have returned to the big screen to entertain everyone for the first time in over 20 years.

But with nearly 25 years of history and a fandom that spans three generations does the movie hold up well? Can Power Rangers beat back the “it’s just for kids” reputation that the show has helped the franchise rightfully earn? Please join us in our NO SPOILERS review of the hotly anticipated Saban’s Power Rangers! Click “Read More” for our full, minor spoilers Power Rangers Movie review!

NOTE: “Minor spoilers”, in our terms, means we look at some of the things about the characters that make them tick (like Billy’s diagnosis and Trini’s personal dilemma). We do NOT reveal what happens to these characters or any major plot points of the movie.

Just when you thought it was safe to put those Zyudenchi away, Toei and Korea come together to create Power Rangers Dino Force Brave, or Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Brave, and release a whole new set of Zyudenchi. For those who have forgotten what a Zyudenchi is, it is the battery-type gimmick from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (aka Power Rangers Dino Charge).

Shown in this image here are four of the new Zyudenchi from this spinoff series as well as the advertised Zyuohger Zyudenchi. Will these be added to your collection? We await release details but all signs point to a Premium Bandai release in mid April.
