While expecting the standard-fare Saban half-hour of cheesy
merchandising, I was pleasantly surprised by the Mystic Knights
of Tir na Nog--Power Rangers this most certainly is /not/. The
costuming is fantastically appropriate, the storylines are based
on true Celtic legends, and the actors are a refreshing change
from the normal appearance-high/talent-poor casts Saban normally
comes up with. While the foley art leaves a little to be
desired, the choreography for the swordfighting is excellent and
a very welcome sight, considering the tendency for kids' action
shows to be merely punch-kick-jab cookie-cutter fare. My
personal kudo? Justin Pierre is not merely the used to make the
cast politically correct--Ivar has a historically accurate place
in the Kell company as a Moorish prince. This is a marvellously
well done show, and I highly recommended it to Celtic fans
