DVD Reviews of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
DVD Review: A huge guilty pleasure of mine
Summary: 5 Stars
I mean that about Power Rangers in general, even after seeing the Super Sentai series of which Power Rangers is based on. Every couple of years at least, I go through this big Power Ranger crazy phase (it goes basically from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 1 to Power Rangers in Space, but I also enjoy Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, which is how I got into it). I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm guessing that it's because it's just good fun, but it can get pretty epic, yet it's still not completely serious.
Now, I feel that the Power Rangers Turbo television show wasn't as good as the previous shows in many ways. I feel that Power Rangers Turbo was more of a transitional show with some good episodes here and there. I really liked many of the subplots from episodes of the show.
What do I think of the movie? The movie is the opposite of the television series in my personal opinion. While the show had a several really good subplots about the Rangers' personal lives, but wasn't as good a show, the film is great. It's not exactly the opposite because there is a subplot about a karate competition where the award is a check that is planned to be donated to the orphanage, but one of them, who also happens to be the Blue Ranger, breaks his back.
Meanwhile, there's a wizard from another planet who has a key that can open many dimensional gateways, and he's being chased by an awesome villain, Divatox (she's not as evil as King Mondo, Rita Repulsa, or Lord Zedd but she's sure a lot more entertaining). I really like Divatox's henchmen, but again, they're nowhere near as evil as the Machine Empire or Rita and Zedd's henchmen. These villains are much more comical, but they're also very different from the previous villains. While the Machine Empire and Rita and Zedd were more epic villains, Divatox seems a bit more like an underground sort of villain, but that might be because she's working underwater.
The film is about Divatox's attempt to use a wizard's magical key to free a giant beast from where he had been trapped centuries ago. The Power Rangers create new powers to go on a journey to stop Divatox, and because Rocky, the Blue Ranger, has broken his back, they get a new Blue Ranger. When overhearing a the Power Rangers being contacted by their leader, Justin, a twelve year old boy, is chosen to be the Blue Ranger. One of the things I like about one of the scenes, and one of the episodes of Power Rangers Turbo, is the way they develop the relationship between Justin and Kat, the Pink Ranger. Don't worry, it's not like that; it's in some ways more like a mother son type of relationship.
The film also includes the return of probably the two most popular original Power Rangers. Jason was the original Red Ranger, and had recently become the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo. Kimberly was the original Pink Ranger, and developed an extremely serious relationship with Tommy, originally the Green Ranger, but now the Red Ranger. In Zeo, she sent Tommy a letter telling him that she had fallen in love with someone else, but that Tommy would always be a good friend, so there isn't really anything in that area. Also, Tommy already is with Kat.
Now, how does this film compare to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie? Well, Ivan Ooze is one of my favorite villains, but I'll admit that part of it is that he's the only villain that wasn't part of the shows or anything, so there really isn't much of him. Ivan Ooze is a much more epic villain than Divatox, but Divatox has two things that Ivan Ooze doesn't have, and she's much more comedic. Ivan Ooze had funny moments, but Divatox had a much more over-the-top personality.
Some other things about this film in comparison to the other Power Rangers movie is that this film was part of the continuity. The other film redesigned Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, and Goldar, got rid of Finster, Squatt, and Baboo, and added this pig-like creature. With that film, they also redesigned the Power Rangers suits, and in my personal opinion, it was for the worst. With Turbo, the film happens right between Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, instead of in a rewritten world.
One of the things I really like about Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is that, from what I understand, it doesn't use any Super Sentai footage, and it doesn't use any of the episodes of Super Sentai Carranger for inspiration. It's the same with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, but I still prefer Turbo.
Overall, I really like Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie because it's mainly entertaining.
