Parents say the latest series appears to have shifted towards themes and plot lines involving romance, including an emphasis on LGBT relationships, which some parents find inappropriate for younger audiences. While many reviewers appreciate the new direction under Hasbro and commend the show's storylines and character development, there is significant concern regarding the suitability of the content for children, especially given the romantic elements featured.

What's the Story?

POWER RANGERS DINO FURY, a sequel to Power Rangers Dino Charge, features a brand-new team of Power Rangers who harness their powers from dinosaurs. Over 65 million years ago, the evil Sporix Beasts attacked Earth after ravaging planet Rafkon. The Rafkon knights followed them, and along with the dinosaurs, attempted to defeat them. But when the Sporix grew more powerful, the Morphin' Masters transferred the dinosaurs' powers to the knights and made them into the Dino Fury Rangers. The Sporix were captured, but not destroyed, and only the Red Dino Fury Ranger named Zayto (Russell Curry) survived the battle. To keep them from escaping, Zayto, with the help of a dino cyborg named Solon (Josephine Davison), went into stasis and has been guarding the Sporix in an underground chamber. Now archeologist Dr. Lani Akana (Shavaughn Ruakere) has found it, and her son Ollie (Kai Moya) and social media reporter-slash-ghost hunter Amelia Jones (Hunter Dino) are unexpectedly confronted by the intergalactic Void Knight (Jared Turner), who sets the beasts loose while attempting to steal them. Now Zayto must build a new team of Dino Fury Rangers, and is training Ollie, Amelia, Izzy (Tessa Rao), Javi (Chance Perez), and Aiyon (Jordan Fitz) to help fight the enemy and save Earth from destruction.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 12 ):
Kids say ( 3 ):

This lively series features all the fun, cheesy narratives, quirky cast members, and fantasy violence the franchise is known for. It also stays true to the ancient Power Rangers myth, which loyal fans of all ages will appreciate. Meanwhile, the color-coded Rangers still reinforce values like fighting for good, teamwork, and loyalty. The mix of sci-fi-like villains and weaponry with powers harnessed from creatures from the Earth's Mesozoic era seems silly, but it also makes it memorable. Nonetheless, it's the action sequences, filled with blasters, spark-yielding swords, and gymnastic and martial arts-style fight moves that are the real draw, making Power Rangers Dino Fury a winner among kids looking for an energetic show to watch.
