Power Rangers: Every Major Character Ranked From Worst To Best

Elizabeth Banks' outrageously campy performance as the Power Rangers' most iconic enemy may stick out significantly in a film that's much more pared-down for its first two acts, but that doesn't mean she's not a ton of fun to watch.

Banks hams it up to the nines, capturing the cheesy essence of the TV show in gloriously over-the-top fashion, and also being legitimately creepy during her interactions with the Rangers.

Plus, she actually kills Billy, which makes her infinitely more savage than the TV iteration ever dared to be.

Best Moment: It's tough to pick just one, because Banks is having such a blast with the role, but it's got to be getting pimp-slapped into space by the Megazord. Stopping mid-fight to eat a Krispy Kreme doghnut is pretty close, too.
