~DS' Movie Tour~
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
Fans have always disliked this movie, and I have zero idea why.
No joke, I love this movie almost as much as the first one, as it has a ton going for it that I feel goes unappreciated.
First off, and this is the big one for me: This movie, like the first one, really feels like they trying hard to go for an adventure on a much grander scale than that of your typical
Power Rangers
episode.
In this movie alone you have aliens, magic, interdimensional travel, demonic pacts, jungle expeditions, haunted ghost ships, new villains, new powers, violence more intense than what had been seen in
Power Rangers
up to that point(lots of choke holds in this one!), and a kid superhero, all at once!
Wait, what was that last one?
Ah yes, the moment that would live on in
Power Rangers
(in)famy forever. Justin, the new kid, replacing Rocky as the Blue Ranger. I never got the hatred for Justin. He was overall a well-rounded character, and this movie helps to serve as a nice introduction to his arc which would be dealt with in
Turbo
proper. I never once found him annoying or distracting.
The film has a great sense of comedy to go along with its adventure aspect too. There's of course the legendary scene between Divatox and Rita that everyone knows about, but there's a handful of other, smaller gags that never fail to get a laugh out me either. Highlights include the mustard gag with Lt. Stone, and Justin not knowing the proper way to Morph the first time he attempts it. Not to mention half the stuff Divatox herself says.
This film also puts a bigger emphasis on practical effects than attempting to do giant CGI like the previous film did. And even today alot of them look great! Whoever did the effect for Divatox's' submarine especially deserves a raise, because the scenes of it traveling, the sets designed for its interior, just everything about it was pulled off great! What CGI the movie does use is kept simple and actually looks alot better as a result, such as the magic sparks from Lerigot and the Rangers summoning their weapons for the first time.
Overall, I found alot to love about this movie, just as I did the previous one. Great action, great effects, great character moments, great comedic beats, a great musical score, and a wonderful introduction to a season that would unfortunately prove to be divisive among the fanbase. Many fans know about the Director's Cut that was buried deep down in Saban's' vault, and I agree that it is a darn shame that we're likely to never see it, because I feel like it'd make an already fun movie even better. Atleast we've managed to see glimpses thanks to the wonders of social media.
Great movie, just like the first one.
