After a construction crew accidentally cracks open a gigantic egg that has imprisoned evil maniac Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman) for centuries, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers prepare to face their most formidable foe yet. The vengeful Ooze kills their elderly mentor, Zordon (Nicholas Bell), and with him the source of the Rangers' power. Stunned by Zordon's death, the Rangers struggle to contain Ooze without the help of the Zords, the giant mechanical robots they have grown to depend upon in battle.

Critics Consensus

For better and for worse -- too often the latter -- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie captures the thoroughly strange aesthetic of the television series that inspired it.

2/4

Obnoxiously loud and busy, it drips with goo and slime and contains an exhausting amount of action, funny voices and snot jokes.

The Rangers themselves are so painfully bland.

It's easy to see why the Rangers are popular. Even before they magically morph, the kids are sky-diving, roller-blading and living without parental authority. And they kick serious butt. But it's all done quite unhumorously.

The nostalgia factor is high and, while I certainly enjoyed revisiting this relic from my youth, I can't in good conscience say it's a good movie (despite all the best efforts of Paul Freeman's Ivan Ooze).

Nostalgia carries a lot of weight, but you can see the seams of the troubled production in both the narrative and the (lack of) character development. Ivan Ooze is a queer villain for the ages, but sidelining Rita? Ayeyaiyai

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is kind of a mixed bag - a Frankenstein. Some things are genuinely bad, while others are actually pretty good. In between, there are those moments that are so bad they become good all over again.

I was six when this movie came out. It was next level. The effects probably weren’t even good then. But Kimberly, the toys and White Ranger!

Anyone who didn’t grow up with ’90s Power Rangers is going to miss the point and tear it apart. But the child in me—the one who watched every episode religiously and used his parents’ furniture as stunt equipment—prayed for a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie like this, and those prayers were answered. This film gave 9-year-old me everything I wanted and more. The only reason I’m giving it a 4/5 instead of a perfect score is because Zack, Trini, and Jason weren’t in it. Other than that, it absolutely nailed the feel of the show while still finding smart ways to connect with its target audience. This movie isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay. It’s for that group of kids who grew up morphing in their living rooms. And now, getting to share that feeling with my son makes it even more special. This film deserves a better score

Like if Troma made a big budgeted, high-energy Fantasy/Kung-Fu movie, for kids. The soundtrack is great and Ivan Ooze is the role Paul Freeman will be remembered for. Read Roger Ebert's review of the movie before watching to see that he hadn't, despite putting it on his list of Worst Movies of 1995.
