Editorial Review:
Description: The evil space alien Divatox plans to unleash the dark forces of Maligore, a powerful, fiery creature imprisoned inside a volcano on the magical island of Nuiranthias. She can reach the island only by traveling through the dangerous Nemesis Triangle, and for that she needs the special powers of the magician Lerigot. But Lerigot flees to earth, seeking the only people who can stand against Divatox and her plan the Power Rangers. Along with the new Blue Ranger, their turbo powered Zords, and the unexpected help of the original Power Rangers set out on their most thrilling and dangerous adventure yet!
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - kids are amuzed
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)
Rating: - good times
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, ... Read More
Rating: - Turbo Rangers Movie
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!!!
Rating: - Shift into turbo
This movie was first released way back in 1997 when I was 12 years old. It was a pretty cheap movie made for it;s time. It wasn't a super phonimal hit like batman and robin but it made a decent amount of money about 8 mil mlion world wide. In this movie were are introduced to the new ranger and there turbo zords. A word of warning this movie has some mild scary scenes in a couple of scenes with mild thematic elements, mild martial arts fighting scene. This movie should be fine for kids either 7 ... Read More
