I thought the filmmakers did a really good job of paying tribute to the original show, without trying to slavishly copy it. After so many depressing movies (gee, isn't life depressing enough??), it's fun to just go to a rock'em, sock'em movie, cheer the good guys, boo the bad guys, and suspend reality for a while. Fun for those of us old enough to remember the original, lots of action and special effects for the younger crowd. Two thumbs up!
