8 Awesome Moments From The Second Power Rangers Trailer

This year, its classic 90s TV show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' turn to get rebooted for the big screen in the much-anticipated Power Rangers from Lionsgate. The first trailer, released late last year, caused a stir online as it presented a movie far removed from the cheese of the original show. It seemed to promise a more down-to-earth take on the franchise that was an unlikely blend of The Breakfast Club and Chronicle.

1) Megazord And Goldar

The trailer ends with a brief but exciting look at what’s probably the movie’s big third act climax, at least if it’s going to mirror the structure of an episode from the original series.

When Rita sends a giant golden monster – a version of Mighty Morphin‘s Goldar – to attack Angel Grove, the Rangers appear in their Zords to stop him. We can guess that this doesn’t go to plan, as the trailer then cuts to them combining their Zords to form one giant, humanlike Megazord.

Speaking of which, the Megazord didn’t look up to much when we saw it in toy form, but it cuts the mustard in live-action. The blue power source at its centre cleverly connects with the Rangers’ own power cores and the CGI is pretty decent. That said, it is a lot less endearing than the blockier, more toyetic version from the original show.

There’s a lot to take in in the last thirty seconds of the trailer, but it looks like there will be some awesome Zord action to enjoy. Despite the new looks, the sight of the Rangers attacking Goldar with their individual Zords before teaming up is just so much a part of Power Rangers’ DNA that it can’t fail to excite any long-standing fan of the franchise. Go go Power Rangers!
