The Hollywood Reporter A high-spirited fantasy adventure. May 14, 2008 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Like the TV series, the pic features makeup and special-effects gimmickry that are far less persuasive than what might be found at second-rate theme-park attractions. May 14, 2008 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader With minimalist and universal fantasies as their points of departure, the superheroic deeds evolve only incrementally beyond the realistic -- a deeply satisfying process. May 14, 2008 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Those with no investment in MMPR lore will find it tough going throughout. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Even for hardcore fans, "Turbo" is an abysmal action follow-up that takes the series in to a dead end that it had to claw out of for a long time. Mar 24, 2017 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Bland '90s Power Rangers film has lots of violence, peril. Rated: 2/5 Jun 17, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

DanTheMan 2 Shift into slow mo. A purgatory of low-budget interplanetary adventure, there's a reason Turbo is often considered the lowest point of the original Power Rangers run, and this film is no doubt the catalyst for that lasting impact, taking the series into a dead end that it had to claw out of for a long time. Thank god for In Space. Completely sidelining the Zeo powers for seemingly no real reason other than Saban wanting to chase after the next Sentai he could plunder for footage, and writing out poor Rocky only to replace him with the character vacuum that is Justin, this Power Rangers film is less a transitional one and more of an extended prologue for the then-upcoming TV show. One that will have you wondering how on earth a franchise founded upon sound and fury could be so monotonous, containing all the action to the climax was certainly a choice. Granted, there's like one or two things about this train wreck I can actually point to that are any good, although it's mainly just the special effects, specifically the Megazord sequence at the end, and the fact that they got Ron Wasserman on the soundtrack, while the only real laugh the film elicited from me was Rita and Lord Zedd's cameo. Other than those, this is a real travesty; not even the cast can save the script this time around, despite Hilary Shephard Turner clearly having a lot of fun with her role as Divatox and her massive cleavage. Everyone is just bordering on insufferable. Nowhere near as good or endearing as their last cinematic outing, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is a no-no Power Rangers, terribly paced, little to no fun, and borderline agonising to a point. Pretty sure this is why we didn't get any more Power Rangers films for nearly 20 years, cheers Saban. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Charlo F If it weren't for Saban's stinginess, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie would have been better. Obviously, movies should be long, and it wouldn't matter if it lasts three hours, for those who want more action scenes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Michael D L Absolutely dreadful awful effects not worth anyone's time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review JaMeah J Love this movie growing up a very great sequel to the first movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Antony C I think the power rangers did a good job but it should be more work on it then the mighty morphine power rangers movie did in this movie that all also can vudu bring mighty morphine power rangers into it lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Cameron C Never have I seen a movie with such campiness and plot holes. No wonder it almost killed the Power Rangers franchise. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
