I'm really interested in the tone myself. Like, will they go with the really kiddy tone the show is (in)famous for (never saying "dead," high schools that seem more like elementary schools, etc.) or will they make it more adult and market it to nostalgic twenty-somethings that grew up with the original? IMO the latter done badly would probably be worse than the former but who knows.
Nostalgia's probably their best bet. I honestly can't think of any other reason for the movie to even exist.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I expect something similar to Kamen Rider in tone then in normal Super Sentai or Power Rangers.
Maybe with Deadpool being a success, combined with the possible success of this movie, I can see a western Garo movie being made that's a Hard R.

Watch SymphogearI prefer the Dinsey era myself. Among other things, the acting was more conistant and they actually went through the effort and cost to hire more experienced actors, which helped a lot.
I'm thinking this movie's going to bank on Nostalgia with PG 13 violence.
I'm pretty sure they're going for a Marvel-esque tone.
So a bit Darker and Edgier than usual but they're not gonna turn this into Watchmen or even the DC Murderverse.
I'm sold because holy shit, that looks amazing.

This asshole's exposed brain and muscles
were horrific as a kid and did a fantastic job of selling the idea that he's the scariest thing since horror was invented. He didn't even need to say or do anything. Just looking at him was terrifying.
Which is good because most of the time when he said or did anything, it was Nightmare Retardant.

She's less corny looking, I suppose. Although I prefer the black/purple color scheme than Poison Ivy reject.
Non Indicative UsernameSome degree of reinvention is more or less mandatory due to the fact that they actually appear to be putting some effort into this. Rita looked the way she did because she's the evil Witch Bandora from Super Sentai; the sinister servant of Great Satan who killed the dinosaurs, but was opposed by the descendants of an ancient human civilization that evolved from dinosaurs and invoked their powers to fight her.
As this film probably isn't going to be comprised 70% of redubbed Super Sentai scenes, expect a lot of changes.

Power Rangers vary in cheesiness. MMPR is pure camp, Time Force is dramatic, RPM combines drama and PG Deadpool.
