All in all, it was an enjoyable film that kept me entertained. And look for the Maligore costume to resurface during Power Rangers in Space, only instead he'll be called Dark Spectre (even Divatox mentions the similarity). The return of Jason and Kimberly was welcome but it was a shame they really didn't get in on the action as much as I would've liked (despite the fact that they do become evil and get to beat the Rangers). She's far more enjoyable than the Machine Empire from the Zeo season though Hilary Shepard Turner, who plays her in the film with energy and wit and would return later in the season, exits on maternity leave and is replaced by Carol Hoyt for the majority of the Turbo season (though Hoyt was good, Turner was better as she's the one I saw first. Divatox was such a great villain, reminding me of Rita Repulsa (who makes a cameo with husband Lord Zedd and tries to give the newbie a bit of advice, only to fall on deaf ears). However the positive outways the negative. Were Divatox's forces far too powerful for them? Or was Kat's fall into the water just too much of a strain on the Zeo Crystal? At any rate, a little explaination, as others have said, would've been nice. I also don't get why they had to switch to the Turbo powers anyway. Second, I was never a fan of the switch to cars as the Zords over animals, it just looks bland and unimaginative. Maybe if the producers hadn't made David Yost (Billy) upset during the Zeo season because they reduced his role causing his departure, maybe he could've made a triumphant return as the Blue Ranger again. ![]() While every kid who was into the original series did want to be a Ranger (myself included), my suspension of disbelief couldn't believe it. Like I said in a previous review, they included a twelve-year old so the kids at home could have someone to identify with. In this big screen season premiere (this one actally leads into the beginning of the new season) we lose the second Mighty Morphin Red Ranger/Blue Zeo Ranger Rocky (due to a real-life injury from the Zeo season) and what do we gain? Is it a worthy successor like he was for Jason? Absolutely not! We get a kid! This is one of two things that bothered me. Gone are the PVC/metal costumes and CGI Zords. I wasn't even aware that there was a sequel until the Turbo season was well under way. I didn't see this one in theatres like the first one.
