Power Rangers: Clash of the Red Rangers Movie

Clash of the Red Rangers
It's hard to believe that the Power Rangers franchise is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. It is making me feel old as I remember when the original series aired. I watched the occasional episodes of the original series up to the In Space series, but I tuned out because the constant cast changes. I wasn't aware that there was a new series on television, until I reviewed two other DVD titles early this year.

a great movie but to short for me
i really enjoyed being able to watch another power rangers movie. They do not make many of them anymore this is the first one in a long time. its a simple plot save the world type deal its all there the megazord the giant monster battle great martial arts action great movie for people like me who enjoy these films. i hope they release more power ranger movies in the future or at least release the ones that were released on vhs years ago or even if they make them only 45 minutes long thats fine with me.
