5 Properties We Wouldn't Mind M****** B** Bringing to the Big Screen

by Cameron Carpenter

a complete joke. Which isn't completely fair, considering he's made a pretty successful run of blockbuster films and it isn't like he's prone to making awful movies. He has a style and distinctive voice that sometimes gets a little too macho and meaty for an audience's taste, but The Rock is exceptional entertainment, Bad Boys is a fun romp, and there's no denying that the first Transformers film pretty much blew everyone's mind at the time. But with recent news of him tackling the new Ninja Turtles movie (with an apparently awful script), there's been lots of talk that B** is "raping" childhoods, first with Transformers and now with the Turtles. But what if he picked up some other, somewhat flat work to run with? Would we be willing to see what he could do by bringing a big budget to shows that may never again see the light of day? Here's a list of just five properties we wouldn't hate seeing get the big screen, blockbuster treatment, with B** on board as either the director or producer. Because sometimes, properties and directors just fit.

5. Power Rangers

M****** B** and the Power Rangers have a few things in common. Like B**, the Power Rangers have never been overly subtle with racial implications based on the color of their suits (though, it could be said they may have learned their lesson). And finally, explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. http://youtu.be/5ODKDPxLFzA A lot of people have close ties to the Power Rangers, but unlike the Ninja Turtles, you do eventually reach an age where you're ready to leave the team of high school kids behind (and upgrade to the Ninja Turtles). And there's really not much B** could do to obliterate the source material, considering its conception was incredibly sloppy and thrown together with a meager budget. Power Rangers episodes are M****** B** movies for kids, so it's about time we married these two entities and really just enjoyed the insanity to the fullest. And you can bet your bottom dollar B** will find a looker for the Pink Ranger.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
