    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    Acting, deplorable. Writing, possibly done by by monkeys, slow monkeys, very untalented possibly drunk monkeys. Costumes, horrible foam rubber concoctions Story, I feel like I was being punished when? Child had this on. But not a punishment that could fit any normal crime, it would have had to have been some horrendous war crime that should be tried in the world court.

    After four years of four Seasons what Nobody Likes we actually have something good for once.All the problems those seasons have Has been Fixed.The acting is really good, the dialogue actually sounds like it's coming from actual adults, the comedy is funny, we have an actual story that's well paced, we have more original footage than Sentai footage, the editing with said footage has improved, and the characters are actually likable and have actual personalities. And Even Sledge was Cool, in Fact hes Maybe one of the Coolest Villains Everand We Have a Good Intro/Theme Song with No Roll CallThe 1st Season (Dino Charge) was Kinda Good But it has a Few Awkward Moments It was Okay But its No Dino ThunderBut its Second Season (Dino Super Charge) was Weaker compare to Dino Charge its Kinda like the Digimon Season 2 of Power Rangers Tones of story thrown out the window for filler, The Dialogues are a Bit Corny at Times and it feels like a Disney Power Rangers Season But the Extra Rangers (Sir Ivan, Prince Phillip, Miss Morgan, James and Zenowing), Hekyl and Snide are CoolNothing much else to say but.....thank you Judd Lynn for saving PR.

    The Power Rangers return with the best series in years.Another reviewer here has a small problem with this series "talking more than fighting". Well if the makers of Rangers are reading this review: don't listen to that other reviewer! Keep Rangers just like Dino Charge all the time, in fact I wish you would keep this cast for the next five years! James Davies as the Black Ranger/Chase Randall is the best.Unlike many other good looking Ranger actors before him, Davies seems perfectly fine with making a fool of himself in this series. In one episode he was put under a spell by the enemy and made to look like a silly coward, another time he was made to fall asleep on the spot while talking to someone. His comic timing is outstanding and Davies will go far in the film/TV industry.Everything about Dino Charge is great: the energy, the creatures, the mix of comedy and drama, the plots, etc.

    I have been an immense fan of the Power Rangers ever since the first show aired and I have also been following and critiquing the show since I have had access to a computer. With that being said, I am the first to say that my hopes for Power Rangers Dino Charge were very high from the beginning since the previous four seasons were the very worst that the show had to offer. I will be the first to admit that Samurai, Super Samurai, Megaforce and Super Megaforce were the absolute rock bottom for the Power Rangers series, having the worst writing, acting and overall story lines of the 22 seasons I've witnessed as well as a generalized dumbing down of the show that generally alienated life long older fans such as myself. However, upon watching the first few episodes of Power Rangers Dino Charge, I'm satisfied to say that my expectations were met and in some ways exceeded. The CharactersLets start out with the Rangers themselves. These characters are amongst the best I've seen since RPM, which to me, was the last truly great season and in many ways, they break all the molds that have plagued the series. As an African-American woman myself, I was most impressed to see the first Pink Ranger of African-American descent who brings a rare non-stereotypical portrayal that seems to be so common to African-American characters these days. She's a rebellious tomboy whose intellect and knowledge of dinosaurs sometimes puts her at odds with the rest of the Rangers and especially Kendall Morgan, the resident Team Mom. There's Tyler, the Red Ranger who brings a subtle comical portrayal to the traditional no-nonsense attitude Red Rangers have. Following nearly in the Red Ranger's place is Chase, the Black Ranger and a cocky, ladies man whose native New Zealand accent makes the character a sleeker, more refined and lovable version of Zander from Power Rangers Mystic Force. There's Koda, the Blue Ranger, a caveman who has survived into the modern era due to the effects of the Energem he was bonded to. I cannot find Koda comical nor can I take him seriously, more on that later in my critique section of this review. Riley is the logic minded Green Ranger who brings a quiet intellectual approach that seems to make him stand out in contrast to the other Rangers who are very upfront and in your face in terms of personality. Rounding out the Rangers is Kendall, the resident Team Mom and technological expert who reminds me of a younger Mrs. Fairweather from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue whose constant squabbling with Shelby in the first few episodes gives her a rare depth that is rarely found in television nowadays. Lastly, there is Keeper who functions as the Zordon equivalent but who has not seen much character development as of yet, something I hope will be expanded on later in the series. As for the villains, we have Sledge and Poisandra who are for the most part, not remarkable nor particularly memorable except for their antics as an engaged couple. However, there is a redeeming villain in Fury, the resident General who is by far the most upfront and direct villain I have seen in this season. He is direct, confrontational and truly something to watch. The StorylineThe overall storyline and premise of Power Rangers Dino Charge is rather simple but played pretty much straight in that Sledge, Fury and Poisandra are interspace bounty hunters searching for the Energems, which are the most powerful objects in the universe and the source of the Ranger's powers when Keeper bonded them to dinosaurs. In addition to this main storyline, there are smaller story lines scattered throughout such as Tyler's missing father and his quest to find him, the arc about Prince Ivan which concluded in the most recent episode to my own applause and the ship-tease that is played between Shelby and Tyler. CritiqueMy biggest criticisms in this series definitely have to go towards the villains Sledge and Poisandra who are very one dimensional and have very little character development which makes them little more than stereotypical Power Rangers villains. This is a downwards trend we have seen become obvious in seasons like Power Rangers Samurai and Megaforce and for the most part, makes the season somewhat unenjoyable to watch when compared to the glorious villains we have seen in previous seasons like Time Force, Lightspeed Rescue, Dino Thunder and RPM. In addition, the character of Koda seems to be poorly written in that his dialogue and generalized actions when he is not morphed is laughable and the actor himself seems very forced when acting him in normal situations. When you consider the fact that his character was behaving normally until the arc that announced he was a caveman played out, it becomes almost face-palm worthy. Some minor criticism would be geared towards the continuing trend of talking more than fighting during the otherwise very decent action scenes. However, in an immense positive, this season has acting that is believable and genuinely good which in of itself is a major accomplishment in addition to the lack of cheesy up-front dialogue. Unlike the previous four seasons, the characters seem to be genuinely interacting with each other and it doesn't seem forced in any way. Final ThoughtsAll in all, Power Rangers Dino Charge is a definite step-up from the disgraceful seasons we've been handed since 2011. While there is still room to improve, it is a very good season and old fans who have loved the show will not be disappointed should they decide to tune in to watch it.
