The saving grace to this could be if they have cameos of any of the original MMPR actors/actresses.

Nothing wrong with casting relative unknowns. There's never been a Power Ranger that was an established actor or actress.

Checked out a short video Dacre was involved in, and was not impressed. Hope he improves in the movie.

I would hope so because the short your talking about that was mentioned in the article was filmed in 2011. I would assume he has been working on his acting skills ever since. I'm sure he has improved considering he was chosen for this role. Or I hope so anyway. lol.

Rather than who the actors are I'm a little bit more concerned about the bios for the Rangers that they have so far. I'm hoping they're not complete wimps. I know that getting thrown into a whole new environment such as saving the world will be pretty intimidating but my goodness the bios seem emo to me.

This is going to be such a shitshow and I cannot wait to watch it fail in a massive ball of flames.

I just really want Saban to stop existing.

Trailers haven't come out for the movie yet and you're already judging it. Just sit tight and at least wait until at least that comes out before making any assumptions about anything.

Also, if it wasn't for Saban, you wouldn't be into Power Rangers as well as Super Sentai. I'm not taking up for them, but as long as Power Rangers and their other programs are still making them money, they aren't going anywhere.
