Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)


  • What's it about?: An ancient evil named Ivan Ooze awakens, puts Zordon on his deathbed and destroys the Rangers's powers. Now they must find a new power to help them defeat him.
  • Thoughts: It's alright. Ivan Ooze is an entertaining enough bad guy, but the stuff with the Rangers themselves is a little lackluster and the cgi at the end isn't much to cry home about.
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
