Y'know... I'll give you that, I did overstate my point. 10 years is probably more accurate.
The last sequence of the movie doesn't even hold a candle to the best of Power Rangers, such as Forever Red or Green With Evil, because it doesn't use the very old tricks PR has for carrying over the emotions of the characters into the action. Team up scenes where we see two characters in action together provides a huge catharsis for the relationships in the film up until that point. Avengers did this very well, with a similar goal of having 20 minutes of spectacle to pay off an hour and a half of character development, though some of that occurred through action as well. The movie didn't understand that the morphed characters were still themselves, that they were supposed to still feel just as much themselves while their masks were on. The movie instead put the character development on timeout.
Episodes like Green with Evil upended the Rangers' expectations, and while it wasn't as easy for the reboot to do this without first establishing those expectations, they tried with Rita being a former green, and they had a little twist with Zordon coming back in there, and it didn't work as well as it did 20 years ago when the same emotions blew minds. The fight with Rita in the warehouse is as close as the film gets to the fight being personal with Rita, and the movie apparently didn't know what it had, because the screws never get tightened and the ultimate victory is little more than "Looks like Team Rocket is Blasting off Again" and while not everyone laughed, I certainly did. Compelling character development through fighting is what Kung Fu cinema is all about, and Power Rangers has done that so well at times it can make you misty eyed.
Villains like Ecliptor, The Psycho Rangers and even Galdar locked in a room with Jason simply carried more menace, they clearly demonstrated, on zero budget and for children, that there were personal stakes for them in these conflicts, which made them more dangerous. There's more to enjoy in Astronema's backstory and internal conflict played against her lieutenants' expectations than there is in Rita's tell-don't-show pursuit of worthiness based on nothing but what the viewer imagines out of thin air.
There were a few moments of choreography in the film that were worth mentioning, Billy's kick from the trailer was cool, surprising and strong, and Jason's capoeria inspired ground work when going to rescue his dad was pretty cool, but these are all things we've seen more and better of in the TV series. In the show, you can feel hits, and there are consequences to both the characters and environment, you can see struggle and back and forth, on the best seasons, you can pick out fighting styles for different characters. You can see people holding back when the monsters are their friends. It's clear that they simply spend more time thinking out the action sequences, that there's someone who is passionate about that aspect of the property and is allowed to do their work. The TV series did inside-helmet-vision long before Iron Man did to show those kinds of extreme battlefield emotions, and the movie gave us a hint of that when Billy first morphed and then never cashed in that wonderful check. A lot of the callbacks in the film were awkward, because they weren't built, they were just set up and never built up (like the empathic morphing), and then cashed in as though anyone should feel they have meaning, and that's not how you pay stuff off well in any visual media, even 20 year old Power Rangers knew that.
I could go on, and on, and ON about all the times Power Rangers was exemplary over the years, that the movie failed to deal with. It's not a fair comparison, honestly, because out of 800+ episodes, you're going to find some gold in there that rises above what should be expected of a cheap children's clip show. But the fact remains, that those golden moments did happen, and that the reboot did not take any lessons from them, and that is case in point ignoring the power of one's own brand.
