If you're five to eight years old, get with some of your buddies, eat two bowls of Fruity Pebbles, scarf three packets of Pop Rocks, and snap your synapses into Power-Ranger Elysium with Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. If you're a parent and you don't know a Zord from a Zordon, get ready for one and a half hours (yep, one and a half hours) of enough mass marketing and mindless mayhem to destroy any resistance to the overt "buy this toy" messages contained therein. The evil Divatox, a busty space "piratess," kidnaps two former Power Rangers and it's up to the new Rangers to save their friends from becoming human sacrifices to an evil monster. The Rangers' leader, Zordon (who thinks up these names?), gives the new crew added "turbo" powers and presents them with their new Zords--turbo-powered cars. What's never explained is why there are former Power Rangers: do they get drummed out for not morphing (or morphing too much), or do the Rangers maintain the same policy as the once-famous Latino pop band, Menudo (replacing members once they get too old). There's an inordinate amount of the fake kung-fu kicking that made the TV show popular, and the villains are grotesque; but they're just shrieking punching bags. But the thought that Turbo is basically "the next generation" of Power Rangers is enough send chills up any parent's back. That's why kids love them so. --Keith Simanton

A Worthy Follow Up April 25, 2009
D. Reed (Elkton, MD USA)

I didn't see this one in theatres like the first one. I wasn't even aware that there was a sequel until the Turbo season was well under way. Gone are the PVC/metal costumes and CGI Zords. In this big screen season premiere (this one actally leads into the beginning of the new season) we lose the second Mighty Morphin Red Ranger/Blue Zeo Ranger Rocky (due to a real-life injury from the Zeo season) and what do we gain? Is it a worthy successor like he was for Jason? Absolutely not! We get a kid! This is one of two things that bothered me. Like I said in a previous review, they included a twelve-year old so the kids at home could have someone to identify with. While every kid who was into the original series did want to be a Ranger (myself included), my suspension of disbelief couldn't believe it. Maybe if the producers hadn't made David Yost (Billy) upset during the Zeo season because they reduced his role causing his departure, maybe he could've made a triumphant return as the Blue Ranger again. Second, I was never a fan of the switch to cars as the Zords over animals, it just looks bland and unimaginative. On a positive note, Divatox was ruthlessly campy, reminding me of Rita Repulsa (who makes a cameo with husband Lord Zedd and tries to give the newbie a bit of advice, only to fall on deaf ears). The return of Jason and Kimberly was welcome but it was a shame they really didn't get in on the action as much as I would've liked (despite the fact that they do become evil and get to beat the Rangers). And look for the Maligore costume to resurface in Power Rangers in Space, only instead he'll be called the Master of Evil, Dark Spectre. All in all, it was an enjoyable film that kept me entertained.
 A very happy daughter January 15, 2009

I ordered this and another Power Rangers Movie for my daughter for Christmas. She was very happy. The package arrived well before the promised due date in perfect condition.
 kids are amuzed October 14, 2008
S. Sanders (Decatur, IL)
My son loves the power rangers but only watched this movie once. It amuzed him, but unlike his other movies he didn't want to watch it over and over. (my son is 5 years old)
good times August 15, 2008
Zachary D. Furr (IN, Indianapolis)
this is the 2nd major motion picture for the power rangers. It is not quite as good as the first movie. By this time they had a different pink power ranger, but the original amy jo johnson is in here for a few scenes. They have a different yellow ranger. Tommy is no longer the white ranger and is currently the red ranger. Rocky is in here for a short time, but gets hurt and a littel kid named billy becomes the blue ranger. I should also note their not the turbo rangers right away. In one scence, the pink ranger fell off a cliff and tried to morph into the zeo ranger outfit. Also, Lord Zedd and Rita make a cameo in this movie
Turbo Rangers Movie July 22, 2008
Kelly J. Webster (Texas City, TX)
What can I say? It's the POWER RANGERS in all their glory! I got this a long time ago for my son (who's now 14) and got it again recently for my four year old granddaughter. She loves it. I've seen it more times than I can count. It's a good movie with lots of action ... and lots of power rangers. Go, go Power Rangers!!!
