- 60Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasHas 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.
- 50Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorChicago ReaderLisa AlspectorWith minimalist and universal fantasies as their points of departure, the superheroic deeds evolve only incrementally beyond the realistic -- a deeply satisfying process.
- 40TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineInfantile, 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.
- 40VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonEven 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.
- 40Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleFor me, that low-tech, Fifties, camp charm wore a mite thin by the second half-hour, but then, I'm not the target audience, am I?
- 37Washington PostRita KempleyWashington PostRita KempleyA purgatory of low-budget interplanetary adventure.
- 30The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderThe New York TimesLawrence Van GelderFive-year-olds who have read their Shakespeare will recognize that Turbo is a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
- 25San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackSan Francisco ChroniclePeter StackEvery 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.
- 25Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisChicago TribuneJohn PetrakisLike 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]
