Plot: The Rangers come face-to-face with a familiar threat from the past. In the midst of a global crisis, they are called on once again to be the heroes the world needs.
I was so excited for this new Netflix Special.
I did enjoy the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always Special.
Pros: This special did deliver what’s expected from this material. I’m glad both Billy & Zack take centre stage in this special. You will feel the emotions a lot throughout this film. I liked how they honoured 30 Years of Mighty Morphin and how they acknowledged the death of Trini. They have also managed to tell the whole story within the 55-minute runtime.
Cons: It does run into plenty of pacing issues, I wished this special was a little bit longer for more character development and growth, and missed the involvement of the other rangers Jason, Tommy, Kimberly who are sadly missed.
Once A Ranger, Always A Ranger.
