Since both of them are inspired by Sentai series. I think Sailor Moon could look at its failure if they want to make a live action movie
1. Don't rewrite the characters too much.
The movie turned everyone from cool teens with minor flaw into troubled kids, which distanced the characters from themselves. I see that as a problem because they don't feel like themselves anymore.
I don't want race swap as well.
2. Action needs to fill the movie.
The MMPR movie was way too boring because there was lack of action, the villain's doing was boring and even the last fight was far from satisfying. This must be avoided in any blockbuster movies. The anime's fighting was fine at that time. It would be good to see more melee combat then magic.
3. Don't try too hard on the "development"
You need to show their good shiny lovely side first, then add some flaws. The MMPR movie went too far to make them struggling without let us see what they are good at.
Even Kimberly and Jason, the most ordinary ones went too far from the TV ones. Billy was entirely unrecognizable while he did receive some development.
Same for Sailor Moon, sure the characters have their sad side, but I don't think it should be too focused upon losing their good and funny side. Especially Usagi, don't make her overly unlikeable by showing her flaws too much. Even the anime mostly showed it in a comedic way.
4. The villains has to be serious/menacing enough.
Rita being the old green ranger was a good concept, but her doing was boring, collect gold, burn a shop and then form some ugly monster which doesn't resemble the old Goldar at all. None of that was interesting.
We need the villain to actually show that they are a huge threat to the world. That might need some work, I think they should target mass amount of ppl to drain energy, then show some tough fight.
5. Bring the old music, bring up the old amazing design/costume.
That MMPR song only showed up for a few seconds. Same for the zoids, I don't think the senshi should stay too long on their civilian form, let them MAKE UP.
