Sorry, this movie sucks

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Where to start. I've watched this a few times and it is just terrible. The hockey isn't even realistic. You would think owning an NHL team would have made Disney a little more aware of how the game works. The games aren't even remotely realistic. The varsity team is a joke. They can skate around and make a lot of plays that should be penalties, but they get away with them. One of the worst actors in this movie is the varsity head coach. He really overacts and his lines sound As always the ducks are underdogs and for some reason can't beat the big bad varsity who isn't really impressive. I found one of the most annoying characters besides the varsity coach is the announcer for the games. That kid has no acting talent and he must be a relative of someone at Disney which got him the role. Let's not forget Charlie crying all the time about losing his C. A real leader doesn't need a C on his jersey to lead. It looks like Eden Hall is supposed to resemble Shattuck St Mary's in Minnesota which is a well known hockey high school. I could go on and on forever. This movie isn't as bad as the 2nd one, but it sure gives it a run for its money.

In "D3: The Mighty Ducks," the same old cast of characters returns for some more good old times on the ice. The scrappy, wise-cracking kids that formed The Mighty Ducks hockey team are now full-blown teenagers, voice-changes and all. This time around, they are awarded scholarships to the prestigious Eden Hall Academy, a school who take their hockey just a bit too seriously. Emilio Estevez's character is written out of most of the movie, making way for the hard-headed Coach Orion (Jeff Nordling), who leads The Ducks under their new moniker, The Warriors. As they fight for dominance with the varsity team, they also have to fight for their right to stay in school, lest the school board revoke their scholarships and cast them out simply for not fitting in. Along the way they learn more valuable life lessons and grow with one another, yada yada yada, so on and so forth.If it feels like the formula is wearing thin, that's because it is. Don't be mistaken, "D3" is of the same caliber as "D2: The Mighty Ducks." It's an entertaining enough, simple and nostalgic sports flick that appeals to the whole family, but is nowhere near as inspiring and as spirited as the original. When compared to the original "The Mighty Ducks," this is just a ho-hum sequel that offers nothing new and is obviously made with intentions of milking a franchise name, which is made abundantly clear by its low budget look. But when it comes to Disney and its track-record for sequels, would you expect anything less? It's not all bad though. The acting from the kids is spot on and their chemistry is great as usual. Hans (Joss Ackland) makes his return to the series and even though Emilio Estevez looks tired in the twenty minutes or so he spends in the film, it's better than not having him at all. His turn as the Ducks' lawyer is a stand-out, a nice call-back to the original film. Overall, "D3: The Mighty Ducks" is a contradiction, a mediocre display of nostalgia. It's entertaining enough, but too bland to really have a lasting effect. See it if only to complete the "trilogy" (although I get the feeling that if Disney felt they could, they would have forced more movies out of it) and to reminisce in the good old days, before Emilio Estevez faded away completely, before Joshua Jackson became irritating and before Kenan Thompson went SNL.

"Another thing was what was up with the 9-0 comeback?" that is possible i played some bantam hockey games where the periods are 12 minutes each and we score 10 goals or so in a period a few times. it is possible. we beat one team 24 to 6.this was a good movie though. i missed Portman and Bombay. i actually want to get a replica of the jerseys. if you can help me find one let me know.the varsity is played by the same guys as the hawks in the first movie. they have such different personalities.this is a very good movie. i recommend it.

All three movie are very close to each other in quality but D3 is probably the best by 1/2 a star or 0.1%.The thing that makes this movie stand out from the rest is how Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) became the true mentor Charlie because he has finally become wise after the end of D2 and now that Hans has passed away. Charlie is now the loose canon Gordon was at his age and along with his poor attitude towards his new coach Charlie starts to go downhill fast. Emilio is a gun in this movie and he is my favorite character and Coach Orion (Jeffrey Nordling) is my second favorite and they both put in stellar performances. The great speech about Defence by Coach Orion is a classic quote and is very true even in my sport Soccer and life. It's one of my favorite quotes of all time from any movie. The Minnesota Miracle Man scene is a highlight and Emilio is just class. The music choreography in D3 is excellent. It was so well done and example is when the Varsity team starts picking up the hitting and the music behind the scene starts saying "Beat em" in a opera like voice. The music complements the situation well throughout the whole movie and is one of its major pluses.D3 definitely has it's dull parts and some poor acting at times but at other times the acting is pretty good. However, the Hans in this movie doesn't rate well against the previous actors who played Hans.The plot follows the usual pattern of, pranks against the "bad" or rival team and the initial, I hate the coach attitude and then the coming together and uniting as a team and as friends once more to for fill the aim of defeating the rival team. Will team spirit get them over the line this time? Watch and see.
