I think the movie needed a better ad campaign too.

There just wasn't a big enough movie audience.

It wasn't a very good movie and didn't feel like Power Rangers.

It was too dark and not enough like the real MMPR. I still think a DinoThunder movie would have been better. The target audience would have a better chance of knowing what that was.

I think the recent movie failed for two main reasons

Not enough action
and
some of the language and content was a bit much. Trini’s Mom for example basically implying that her daughter must be on drugs? It was a funny line but I do think that it was a bit much

Agreed, too much serious issues for PR.

Because it wasn't true to MMPR. Its one thing to have new actors in a reboot. But at least make it true to the source material. It just didn't have the fun of the original series. Rita was all wrong, but really every character was.

The characters weren't likeable enough. The way Kimberly was written was awful. She exposes those girls on through text and they are the bad guys? It felt like a movie made by people ashamed of Power Rangers. Don't even get me started.about the zord and suit designs. Or the lack of Ranger action.

I think the movie was good. It just didn't attract an audience. Sometimes that just happens. You can't make lightening strike. Sometimes you just get clouds.

Default re Why did the 2017 Power Rangers Movie Fail

The last movie shows us you can go too far and make Power Rangers too dark. They took all the fun out of the series and made it a mediocre teen drama. It just wasn't a true Power Rangers film and turned fans off. Outsiders weren't interested in seeing a drama about the Power Rangers pretending to be an emo version of the breakfast club.

Any new film has to be truer to the older series. I am not saying you can't be a little more mature. There just has to be a balance and the movie needs have some fun. And plewse no Krispy Kreme donuts.
