Like the TV series, the pic features makeup and special-effects gimmickry that are far less persuasive than what might be found at second-rate theme-park attractions.

Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten

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

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

Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times
Rotten

A purgatory of low-budget interplanetary adventure.

Turbo is a solid follow-up to the entertaining 1995 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
