Every Power Rangers Movie Ranked by Release Date

 For decades, Power Rangers has been a global pop-culture phenomenon, inspiring generations through its action-packed storytelling, colorful heroes, and powerful messages about teamwork. While fans were recently saddened by the news that Super Sentai — the Japanese series that inspired Power Rangers — is ending after 50 years, the legacy of the franchise continues to shine through its films.

Since the 1990s, six official Power Rangers movies have been released. Though the number feels small for such a beloved franchise, each film offers something unique—nostalgia, bold storytelling, or fresh reboots—making the cinematic history of Power Rangers worth revisiting.

Below is a complete look at all six Power Rangers movies in order of release, along with what makes each of them stand out.

6. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)

The franchise’s first big-screen adventure introduces Ivan Ooze, an ancient villain unleashed after 6,000 years. With the Command Center destroyed and Zordon nearly dead, the Rangers journey to Phaedos to unlock new Ninjetti powers—leading to an explosive showdown with Ooze.

While the film thrilled young fans with upgraded visuals and larger-than-life action, critics were far less kind. Roger Ebert called it “as close as you can get to absolute nothing,” and despite a massive fanbase, the box office numbers were underwhelming. Still, for anyone who grew up with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, this movie remains a nostalgic time capsule of ’90s superhero fun.

5. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)

Serving as the bridge between Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, this movie follows the heroes as they attempt to stop the space pirate Divatox from awakening the demon Maligore. Along the way, the team gains new Turbo powers and welcomes a new Blue Ranger—Justin.

Divatox steals the spotlight with her flamboyant villainy and standout performance. The film also plays an important role in connecting two key seasons of the show. However, it suffers from a lightweight story and questionable creature designs, especially the puppet-like Lerigot and the unimpressive Maligore. Still, the continuity value and youthful energy make it a memorable chapter for longtime fans.

4. Power Rangers: Clash of the Red Rangers (2011)

This TV movie brings together the Samurai Rangers and the RPM Red Ranger as they attempt to stop the robotic villain Professor Cog. The crossover between two separate universes was a major moment for fans, giving the story a darker, more serious tone than many previous installments.

While not as flashy as modern superhero films, Clash of the Red Rangers offers thoughtful storytelling, a solid villain, and the rare thrill of seeing beloved Ranger teams unite across dimensions.

3. The Legendary Battle: Extended Edition (2014)

Serving as the grand finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, this movie unleashes a full-scale invasion led by the alien warlord Warstar. Realizing they can’t win alone, the Megaforce team calls upon Legendary Rangers from past seasons—resulting in one of the largest reunions in franchise history.

The film delivers heavy nostalgia, emotional moments, and the excitement of seeing generations of Rangers fighting side-by-side. Although the cameos are brief and some story logic feels thin, the celebration of 20+ years of Power Rangers makes this a fan-favorite event.

2. Power Rangers (2017)

The 2017 reboot modernizes the classic origin story. When five teenagers discover mysterious Power Coins, they gain superhuman abilities and must embrace their destiny as Rangers under the guidance of Zordon and Alpha 5. Their enemy: a terrifying reinterpretation of Rita Repulsa, brilliantly played by Elizabeth Banks.

The film had all the ingredients to launch a new franchise—strong performances, character-driven storytelling, and a grounded tone. Unfortunately, despite positive fan reactions, its box office performance fell short, ending plans for a cinematic universe and prompting the franchise’s sale to Hasbro. Today, the movie is appreciated for its bold vision and heartfelt coming-of-age themes.

1. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (2023)

Created for the 30th anniversary of the franchise, this nostalgic reunion special highlights the legacy of the original Mighty Morphin era. A new threat, Robo-Rita, rises after possessing Alpha 8, forcing the veteran Rangers to step up while training the next generation of heroes.

Once & Always received widespread praise for its emotional depth, nostalgic callbacks, and impressive redesigns—especially Robo-Rita’s menacing new look. For fans, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the series’ history and a reminder of the timeless motto: “Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger.”
