rotex29 This third instalment of the Mighty Ducks hockey trilogy doesn't do the first two justice. Its a god awful movie with a thin plot line, with Emilio Estevez thrown in to attract watchers who expected him to play his previous roles of Mighty ducks coach. His participation in this movie was only a couple of scenes which had me scratching my head. He had the starring role in both previous movies. Sadly, the incorporation of new characters on this team cannot salvage this movie as the poor acting and the terrible skill level of the hockey team in general do not lend itself to any believability. There is absolutely no way a team of this calibre could ever play at the high school or prep school level as this movie depicted and built into a story-line. Disney should have hired actors or at least hockey players to fill in the Ducks team to at least make it somewhat realistic. The Alumni varsity team (the antagonists) were also terrible hockey players and again, it leads to an unrealistic experience for a sports movie. You want to root for the Ducks, but you just can't. They are so bad, they shouldn't even be on the ice. Many of the players, including main actor Joshua Jackson, can barely skate. (most likely they used doubles, it would seem?). As with all sports movies, there is a lesson to be learned here, and its about humility and doing the right thing, but in this case, Disney has done the wrong thing by trying to extend the success of the Duck's movies to this lousy representation of a movie worth watching. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Lars Lendale ***************** SPOILERS !!!!!!!!! *********************Where's the hockey ? The hardly is any, it's just a series of gags and pranks, Charlie sulking, dating a girl and getting a grip from Bombay, Orian on the hot seat and then one final game vs the seniors. Why ? What for ? They're part of the same school, why should this game be a big deal anyway ? Then the Warriors become the Ducks ? Usually those games are set in pre- season but the biggest disappointment is that there is no structured story. The fact that there is little to no hockey makes this very disappointing because at their age, the game is much more serious and yet they look like cartoons. You can't play that cartoon card every time and it shows and that's the biggest mistake.Plus, the hockey sequences are poorly filmed, you don't know what's going on on the ice, who's doing at what spot, it's a headache. Bombay shouldn't have been in the movie, Jackson's puberty voice makes him sound cheesy and he hardly puts much effort in his acting, Goldberg is the funniest of all, Averman who used to be the funny-haha character isn't much fun, and basically what bothers me in this movie is there is no more team fraternity. Where's the chemistry, the bonding ? The focus was the team and Bombay of course, but in Ducks 3, Charlie is the focus and it doesn't work. Any kid will hop on the bandwagon but looking back I'm sure they'll find D3 the least interesting of the bunch.
Sabi C. OMG Joshua Jackson did awesome in the first one and he was so hot in the first and second one!!O I wish i could b with him but o well the movie is so good i love the cast and its so funny!Especially Goldberg ahh was hilarious! I love how they always stick up for themselves and put red fire ants in the other hockey players beds the whole plot was awesome i wish the writer of the movie could have written more cause i really want to see what else could happen even if the actors are too old now but just make a little after story and what they did with their lives and what they all do and stuff that would be nice!o well we can only hope!I just wish they could it would make me so much happier i don't know why some people don't like this movie!
MovieAddict2016 "D3: The Mighty Ducks" boasts Emilio Estevez's name all over the ads and credits - and I still remember when it came out how they even featured his name on TV commercials. But he's only in the film for perhaps five minutes. He agreed to make a cameo if Disney would fund his post-Vietnam film, "The War At Home," and they did. But they really milked the $3 million for all its worth.The troop of Mighty Ducks return yet again and yet again they are the underdog. This time the kids are all a bit older and dealing with more mature subjects - including romance. Estevez provides counseling at a crucial moment in the film, but it just comes across as spontaneous and totally random.This is a terrible film - the first two were bad to begin with but this reeks of sequelitis. It's just there to make money, and the lousy cast, bad director and atrocious dialogue doesn't help any.Please, no "D4."
