Power Rangers Turbo

Power Rangers Turbo was alright. The movie wasn't as good as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie. Neither was the season. Even if i was only 8 years old when this season came out, I did watch every episode of the original Mighty Morphin with the original cast and everything. I loved it when i was little. I never watched much TV and that was the only show i watched really on a daily basis. I would ask my parents to record it for me if i was gonna miss it, and bought one of the tapes and watched it over and over again. Now after watching this season, i never wanted to watch power rangers again. I've seen some of the newer ones that have come out now (i have a younger cousin that watches it sometimes) and its just horrible. Fox used to own the rights to Power Rangers, now Disney does, and they seriously need to come out with the original Mighty Morphin on DVD. I'm considering not letting my kids, when i have kids, watch the newer versions of Power Rangers because they are so pointless. If Disney doesn't come out with the original on DVD available in the US, then none of the kids will know how good the original one, and thats the only ones my kids would be allowed to watch. If you ask me, they should put the original episodes back on the TV during the day, not at 11 at night on Jedix.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was cheesy. Power Rangers Zeo was improved. Power Rangers Turbo shifted to Reverse gear.

I specified in my review of the second Power Rangers movie (Turbo) that it was nothing more than a ninety minute episode suitable for TV, not on the big screen. Watching a couple of episodes of this dribble proves my point. Who wrote this stuff anyway?!

Where ZEO's episodes were improved over MMPR, Turbo reeked. The injection of new blood halfway through this show's run wasn't enough for me to give it a chance. I would rather watch a week's worth of bad MMPR episodes over a single episode of Power Rangers Turbo.

Find a tape or VCD of this? Avoid it at all costs.

The Original Power Rangers show was AWESOME, Zeo was good and entertaining but suffered from a bad cast and too much seriousness to a silly concept. But when Turbo premiered that's when everything went downhill. The show was stupid, the cast sucked, the action sequences sucked! This show also started the HORRIBLE trend of having a new power ranger show every year. Each one getting worse and worse.

The third series of the Power Rangers franchise (and the fifth season overall), Power Rangers Turbo is seen by the fan base as one of the worst. Set after the events of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, the evil Divatox is back, and along with Elgar, Rynox, and new villain Porto, she returns to Earth to get revenge on the Power Rangers for ruining her plans to marry Maligore so she can the universe by his side.

In the three-part premiere, Zordon and Alpha 5 leave for Eltar, and the rangers get new help from Alpha 6, who talks in a New York accent and has a different catchphase, and Dimetria, a wise woman from the planet Inquiris, who at the start, answers the Rangers' questions with more questions (and Divatox's sister, as some believe), but as the series goes on, she does become more of the traditional mentor. While I like Alpha 6 for having more of an attitude, Dimitria I never liked at first, as she always spoke in questions, but in the second half, she would stop it and act more like a traditional mentor, redeeming her somewhat.

Being set after Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Justin returns to be Rocky's replacement (as Steve Cardenas, who played the character, decided to leave the show, with some saying he wanted to focus on his martial arts career). In the second half, all but Justin get replaced in what is called the worst episode ever. There were many rumors as to why this happened, with some sources claiming it was because of a change in creative staff, while others claim it was because the Screen Actors Guild approached the actors to try and get them to join the guild, meaning Saban would have to pay them more money. Regardless of the reason, it would start the second half, which would fix the problems of the first.

The series is mediocre at best. The series did have episodes with good morals (one episode, Built For Speed, had the Rangers stop two teens drag racing), but sadly, there are episodes that serve as nothing more than comedic filler (like Trouble By The Slice, an episode infamous for having Divatox working in a pizza place, and making a monster that tried to bake the rangers into a giant pizza). Adapted from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, a season that was more lighthearted to the point where it was considered as Super Sentai making a "parody" of itself, Turbo did a so-so job adapting it into Power Rangers lore (especially with the action).

Overall, I liked how it started out in the first two episodes of the follow-up to MMPR and PRZ along with new characters taking the role as the red, green, yellow, and pink ranger, but some of the other episodes' story lines were quite weaker, but not completely unwatchable and some of the dialog is quite atrocious. The villain was OK, but nothing special especially when Divatox can sometimes can be a bit annoying. Aside from it's flaws, though, I like some of the main characters along with the sidekicks as well thanks to it's perfect acting. The fight sequences are amazing, but I think that the megazord sequences steal the show along with the two-part finale. I know some of you are going to hate me for this, but I think that PRT is a pretty decent follow-up. Not excellent, but I've seen much worse shows.
