Power Rangers Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

3. The Final Battle Is Incredible Fan Service

The final battle against Rita and Goldar is a long time coming, but it's absolutely worth the wait, a ludicrously over-the-top bout of fan service that delivers the payoff of all that character work.

Banks gets to ham it up to the nines, the Zords come out to play (complete with a brief, fist-pumping reprise of the iconic Power Rangers theme), and it's basically everything a contemporary update of a classic Power Rangers battle should be.

Yes, the Krispy Kreme interludes are frustrating, but hopefully someone will make a fan edit that tones the irritating shilling down.
