Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Python Hyena Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997): Dir: Shuki Levy, David Winning / Cast: Johnny Yong Bosch, Amy Jo Johnson, Catherine Sutherland, Blake Foster, Austin St. John: Candy coated worthless piece of nothing about a wizard being transported to earth and a villainess who wishes to use his power to open a portal to a demon. One of the Rangers is injured during training and replaced by a kid who seems to be the same size as the others when he puts the suit on. The writer gave him every advantage including not needing a license to drive one of their ordinary (excuse me) extraordinary cars. The villains are in search of people yet they spend nearly the entire duration of film in a submarine. Dialogue consists of such lines as, "Listen, because I hate to repeat myself, I hate to repeat myself," and "Hey you guys. Look at this!" It took the combined efforts of Shuki Levy and David Winning to direct this elementary crap with special effects that look every bit as effective as an episode of Barney. Terrible acting by Johnny Yong Bosch, Amy Jo Johnson, etc. Nobody will win any Academy Awards here. The best they can do is leave the screening with their jackets over their heads. The kid may take the prize for the worst performance although he only barely edges out the others. Absolute junk that should be tramped upon then deposited in a dump where it belongs. Score: 0 / 10

classictvgirl50 I think the reason why this movie was so unsuccessful is because it wasn't your "average movie". Usually in a film, everything starts there, and ends there. This movie didn't start at the "beginning of the movie", it started in the series, and followed through into the next season. So typically, it didn't have an ending either. That way, nobody could understand or enjoy it without being a die-hard fan of the series. There didn't seem to be a lot of elements throughout the movie that a person who hasn't seen Power Rangers before could understand. For example, Kat all of a sudden trying to morph when she's about to fall in the water...a non-regular viewer probably would think "what's she doing?" Also, they wouldn't know who Kimberly and Jason are either...unless they have followed the series beforehand, knowing that they were former Power Rangers.That's for the non-viewer...but I think the reason why some (some...not all) Power Rangers fans aren't too appreciative of this film because it's somewhat hard to follow, and not edited very well. A lot of things were not explained in the feature, and I think I know why. I read somewhere recently in an interview with one of the producers that the film was originally 3 hours long, so they had to cut out about half of it; which included some main elements of the movie. Such as Billy coming from Aquitar and telling the rangers about the Turbo powers and such. The editing was not the best, cause in quite a few parts, you can tell that something in the plot was missing. Probably because so much of the main storyline was cut out. If they would have edited it better, or left the movie the way it was, it probably would have been more successful.Personally, I sort of liked this movie, but not half as much as the first one. The first one was amazing, and perfect for the big screen! I'll bet this one could've been good too, but should've been made WAY better. But keep in mind that I'm a big Power Rangers fan, and I know what's going on with the whole thing. I think it would've made a better direct-to-video release; or a multiple part episode.

Seth Nelson Remember when you were a kid in 1993 or so and every afternoon after school, it was time to sit on down in front of the television screen and watch "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?" Yes, seeing all the different colored Power Rangers as well as seeing things transform into huge robot monsters sure seemed very, very exciting! This is 100% boy material! And this, "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie," is an even longer version of this exciting show! So why give this a "1" when you can use all your power and give this a "10!" The very first Power Rangers are still the best! 5...4...3...2...1...The Power Rangers Are Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!....10 out of 10 stars!

Stephen Holloway To Recap, Divatox wants this creature named Larigo to get his key like crystal to bring her groom to be to live. Meanwhile on Earth, the boys are training for the karate tournament while the girls are returning from an softball game. During training, Rocky injures his back and pretty much ends his ranger career. Alpha calls the rangers about Larigo and Justin overheard this and eventually joins them. In the jungle, Tommy and Kat finds him after they fell to the falls to escape an snake. Larigo heals Kat's leg and they head to the chamber. There they first learn about the Turbo Powers and Tommy, Kat, Tanya, and Adam becomes the 1st group of the Turbo Rangers. Eariler, Kim and Jason gets kidnapped by Divatox and she wants to exchange Kim and Jason for Larigo. It turn's out that they were dummies. Still, the now 5 Turbo Rangers trails Divatox to an island frees their new and old friends. The Turbo Megazord with the rangers in it, fights Marago and wins. And that's all. Overall, I like on how the story lines went to play, and the appearances of Kim and Jason but, the producers could have made it better. And on that note, I give the film an 7 out of 10.
