As someone who grew up on the original rangers and lost interest after Space, I've always been a bit wary of new series. Dino Thunder to this point is about the only one I have a love for and takes me back to being a little five year old girl glued to the TV every time Mighty Morphin was on.
But my daughter has taken after her mother and found a love for power rangers so I've been watching Power rangers S.P.D, Dino and wild force over and over...then they started showing Mystic force and I have to say, I have mixed feelings on it.
I like the general story line within the show, the effects and acting, for power ranger standards where quite impressive (still room for improvement though).
HOWEVER, I'm sorry, but making them warlocks? I mean yes, power rangers have powers, but they're not rangers, they are more kick ass Buffy's and having an episode where Veda turned into a vampire just added to the silliness! Also I know in the Japanese version the Yellow is said to be a male for most of them (hence why yellow is often seen without a skirt in most series) but making a female Blue and a boy Yellow? Talk about taking away EVERYTHING that links them to the Original rangers. After a few episodes I just completely lost interest and began to do housework or other things while my daughter was glued to it.
Over all if you, like me, loved your original Power rangers and like your Power rangers true to their roots then I suggest you avoid this series, there's NOTHING, not one thing that is like the original (except the costumes and the fact they have zords). However, if your not fussy, or never seen the original rangers (and if you haven't...you should!) and just watch power rangers for the sake of seeing a group of teenagers kick some ugly butt after school or whatever, then it's great! But me...I stay true to Jason, Kimberly, Trinie, Zac, Billy and Tommy and the roots of the Original series. BACK TO ACTION!
