I must confess I actually enjoyed it as a kid, along with the show. I had low standards and a short attention span. I would fast forward through slow parts of movies all the time (like that "Cheer Up Charlie" song in Willy Wonka... go to the factory already). The Power Rangers movie served as a long toy commercial, so the bland characters worked fine for me, I just wanted to see them fight and then go play with the action figures. So I disagree with the critique that "the movie will do what it can to deaden their imaginations"; that's giving the children like me too much credit! They even sold that purple ooze to compete with Nickelodeon's Gak Splat and the TMNT green ooze. (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- a similar franchise for which the show and movies served only as fodder to encourage me to smash my action figures together.)
