I respect peoples opinion but if they adapted the current Sentai or anything like that it would have done much worse.

The show wanted to cash in on nostalga and casual fans, there was no other choice than to adapt the original team. Most people don't even realize the show went on past Mighty Morphin much less is on today. Hell, the average person doesn't even know that the tv series is an adaption of a Japanese show.

For the movie to succeed they needed to appeal to everyone, which meant cashing in on nostalgia, dragging in casual fans and bringing in new ones all in one movie. They would not do that adapting In Space, doing a space season or adapting some Sentai that 90% of the American population didn't know existed.

Yeah it failed and there are plenty of reasons to speculate. But the fact they went with rebooting the original cast and premise was not where they made a mistake.
