Why It Could Beat Civil War: If it's a fresh, gritty, eyeball-melting re-do of the classic kids' TV series, then this could be a delight both nostalgia-soaked and highly entertaining all on its own merits. Above all else, we know that Elizabeth Banks' Rita Repulsa is going to be a demented highlight.

Why It Might Not: We said could, not should or will, OK? Let's list the red flags: director Dean Israelite's debut, Project Almanac, was mediocre, the cast are for the most part total unknowns, there's been a ton of controversy over the "sexist" female costumes (with pointless boob armour and high heels), and it's been written by a committee of six people including the scourge of the Internet himself, Max Landis.

Plus, we know that the movie is going in a slightly more mature route in an attempt to nail the PG-13 crowd, and that could easily backfire catastrophically.
