What parents need to know

Parents need to know that, like its many predecessors, this installment in the Power Rangers franchise has lots of violence, which is the only available means of conflict resolution. Rangers engage in hand-to-hand martial-arts battles and sometimes use weapons (sticks, nunchuks, and firepower), and some villains morph into huge, insect-like creatures with menacing claws. The show (and its accompanying line of merchandise) is heavily marketed to the 5+ set, but its violent content is more appropriate for kids a few years older.

Educational value: The show's primary intent is to entertain, not educate.
Positive messages: Characters always rely on violence to resolve conflict -- but at least they do so as a team.
Positive role models: The Rangers are clearly good guys who work well together as a team, and the lone female Ranger holds her own in strength and courage among her male counterparts. But the team's reliance on violence as a means of conflict resolution doesn't set the best example for kids.
Violence & scariness: Violence is central to the show's plot, with lots of physical battles in each episode. Martial-arts style fighting includes kicks, punches, and occasional weapons (sticks and some firepower). No one is shown seriously injured, but in at least one scene, a man dies and transforms into a spirit.
Sexy stuff: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: The series comes complete with a line of toys and games for kids, and the series itself acts as a marketing tool for the merchandise.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids

  • Families can talk about how this series compares to other Power Rangers shows. How is it similar? Does anything set it apart from the others?

  • Why do you think the Power Rangers shows have been so popular and long-lasting? Do they send viewers good messages?

  • How does the violence in this show compare to others you've seen? Could the characters solve their problems in other ways?

What's the story?

What's the story?

Thousands of years ago, an evil force called Dai Shi and his legions of beasts -- bent on dominating the planet -- waged war on humans. Brave warriors calling themselves The Order of the Claw eventually restored peace by containing Dai Shi, but now the powerful spirit has escaped and again threatens humanity. With the help of their new Order master, a courageous trio of Power Rangers will try to defeat Dai Shi once and for all.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

For older kids who can distinguish the good guys from the bad and fantasy from reality, there's little in POWER RANGERS: JUNGLE FURY (the 16th series in the Power Rangers franchise) that's likely to surprise them. The show will no doubt appeal to tween boys' sense of adventure, but plenty of them are probably savvy enough to find the predictable plot and overacting a bit too goofy even for their taste.

Ultimately, the show is dragged down by its reliance on violence for entertainment. The content sends poor messages to kids about resolving conflict, and children old enough to understand the unrealistic nature of what they're watching will be turned off by the corniness. So unless your kids are true-blue Rangers fans, you're better off sterring their attention away from this latest iteration.

SOOOO STUPID!!!
UGH. I absolutely HATE this show. It's so stupid!!! How the heck do people LIKE it???!!!?!?!?! The acting is SO cheesy!!! The special effects (if you could even CALL them special) are SO unrealistic!!! THIS SHOW IS TERRIBLE!! IT MAKES ME SICK!! I wish I could give it NEGATIVE FOUR BILLION stars!!! The directors show each "Power Ranger" transform just so they can add length to each terrible episode. The characters don't act like normal teenagers. Each one of them acts like a four year old! The acting is SO bad I watch this show JUST to see how INCREDIBLY STUPID it is!!! I HATE THIS SHOW WITH ALL MY LIFE!!! Do NOT watch it!!! SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:O

Really awesome TV show!!!
I personally LOVE this show. Me and brother watch Power Rangers all the time, and this season is my favorite of them all. We watch them on Netflix. There is a lot of violence, because they have to battle the bad guys to save the world. There's no blood, or gore. There is no kissing or anything like that, but on the very last episode Theo asks Lilly out. Theo, Casey, Lilly, and the other power rangers are all good role models. There is one questionable thing in almost every episode if you don't like spirits or magic. (SPOILER ALERT:) When they're battling and they "Ranger up", they almost always say "Call to the beast inside, animal spirit UNLEASHED!" But that's not really much to worry about. This is a great show, I love it!
