Film Review: 'Legend of the White Dragon' Leans on Familiar Superhero Tropes
The Guardian's review says the low-budget film, featuring several Power Rangers alumni, offers modest martial-arts action but little originality.
The Guardian has reviewed "Legend of the White Dragon," a crowdfunded superhero film featuring several Power Rangers alumni, including the late Jason David Frank.
The review describes the film as drawing heavily on familiar superhero conventions, following a hero exiled after being blamed for a catastrophic battle with his nemesis, and pursued by both authorities and a vengeful pharmaceutical mogul.
According to the review, the film's straightforward martial arts sequences and a few notable cameos give it some appeal despite its reliance on genre tropes.
