Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Has lots of energy and a sensational villainess, Divatox (Hilary Shepard Turner), whose fashion tips come from Ming the Merciless and who has been given all the film's sharpest lines. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
With minimalist and universal fantasies as their points of departure, the superheroic deeds evolve only incrementally beyond the realistic -- a deeply satisfying process. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not Credited)
Infantile, pointless tedium aimed at kids, to whom the fact that it features the entire cast of TV's Power Rangers ZEO will presumably mean something. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Even under the best of circumstances, it would be late in the day for another bigscreen adventure from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But coming so soon after the well-received reissue of George Lucas' Star Wars trilogy, the high-camp cheesiness ofTurbo: A Power Rangers Movie is especially unimpressive. Read full review

Austin ChronicleNick Barbaro

A purgatory of low-budget interplanetary adventure. Read full review

Five-year-olds who have read their Shakespeare will recognize that Turbo is a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Stack
Every instance when Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie feels like the worst movie ever made, some goofy little screechy moment involving the villainess, Divatox, saves it. So it winds up being nearly the worst movie ever made. Read full review

Chicago TribuneJohn Petrakis
Like most sequels, this one is worse than the original. The special effects look cheaper, the villains aren't as evil and the action sequences have all the vitality and creativity of the later, lethargic Karate Kid movies. [28 Mar 1997, p.D]
