Quote - Who would dis something like, say, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, or How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated)? Both had sub par animation, yet told compelling storeies that are near n dear to our hearts.
Then take a look at the live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas.. it had a bigger budget, top notch live action and cgi effects, but really had no "heart" to speak of at all.
Okay you hit it right there on the "nose" with your statement. I cringed while watching the live version of Grinch while I do enjoy watch ing the orginal. The same goes for another live version of a Dr Suess tale - The Cat in the Hat. I would rather have my toenails pulled out than watch that again. Those movies where too commerical, specially the Grinch, which was if you read the story or watch the original was about how commercialism is destroying Christmas. I could rant for hours on that subject alone but yet won't.
I really enjoyed Transformers, I don't think it was "Power Ranger" like at all. That is like comparing the original Godzilla movies to the one that Mathew Brat, I mean Brodrick did. The CGI was good in the new one but never compaired to the original.
If you want to talk Power Ranger like I would have to say the "Thunderbirds" movie that was released a few years back is Power Ranger like. I could go on and give more examples but I won't.
