When the production rights to Power Rangers were bought back by Saban Brands in 2010, fans were excited to see the first series of the New Saban Era. Power Rangers Samurai was adapted from the Japanese tokusatsu series Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, following a team of Rangers based around the themes of samurai and family legacy. Both Samurai and Shinkenger are notable for being the first entry in their respective series to be shot in HD.

While Power Rangers Samurai wasn't as great as many fans hoped for, there were a lot of great elements. Notably, Samurai was the season that put Power Rangers back on the map, introducing a whole new generation of fans to the franchise. Across its two seasons, Power Rangers Samurai featured some great fight scenes, some in terms of their choreography or camera work, and others for their emotional stakes in the story.

With the news regarding Paramount's Power Rangers reboot, fans are excited to see what's next for the franchise now that it will move onto the big screen. After 30 years, Power Rangers has been a TV franchise predominantly. However, its chronology also includes a couple of films that will now serve as predecessors for the anticipated reboot, such as Alpha's Magical Christmas or the most recent reboot 2017 film, Power Rangers.

Although the Power Rangers films aren't as good as the TV shows, at least according to a great deal of the fandom, they're equally as beloved. Besides, since some of them made it directly to video, only those who are really into the series know about them in the first place. Regardless, they make for a fun time for both new and old fans of this successful franchise.
