Samurai crossover leads Letterboxd ranking of Power Rangers films

Collider published 10 minutes ago a roundup ranking every Power Rangers movie by Letterboxd user scores, finding four films from the franchise rated between roughly 2.4 and 2.9 out of 5.

The list places Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997) at the bottom with a 2.4/5.0 (40 fans), followed by Power Rangers (2017) at 2.5/5.0 (372 fans), Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) at 2.8/5.0, and Power Rangers Samurai: Clash of the Red Rangers - The Movie (2011) at the top with about 2.9/5.0 (16 fans).

The piece summarizes common fan reactions: Turbo is criticized for its lack of morphin and a weak plot, with one Letterboxd user asking, "is there a lore reason why they take 50 minutes to morph"; the 2017 reboot aimed for a more mature, emotionally complex take and earned some praise for making morphing feel earned, though mixed reviews stalled planned franchise continuation; the 1995 film is described as feeling like an extended TV episode with bulkier suit designs; and the Samurai special is credited for a crossover with RPM's Red Ranger, a factor cited by fans for its relative popularity, despite some notes about out-of-character writing.

The article notes that Power Rangers last appeared on the big screen in 2017 and that whether the franchise will return to movies remains up in the air, with fans left to judge the available theatrical and straight-to-DVD entries on Letterboxd.
