Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Python Hyena D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996): Dir: Robert Lieberman / Cast: Joshua Jackson, Emilio Estivez, Jeffrey Nording, Joss Ackland, David Selby: Unnecessary third film sees the young hockey team going to Eden Hall Academy to receive scholarships. Emilio Estivez announces his leave and strict but fair Jeffrey Nording replaces him. Two teams scheme revenge on each other at first possibility. Predictable elements occur including the winning of scholarships, etc, who cares? Fine directing by Robert Lieberman with a few fine visual moments such as a prank involving the jerseys that isn't taken well. Joshua Jackson returns but it is totally by the numbers. He is disappointed that his beloved coach is leaving, and he spars off and eventually accepts the replacement coach. Nothing surprising there and Jackson sleepwalks through it all. Estivez gives a brief appearance in what is best described as a straight forward role. He is more or less here to uphold his star power of the first two worthless quack outings. Jeffrey Nording is likable as the replacement coach but the role is too obvious and predictable. One can easily foresee the strict coach really having a heartfelt moment where he is seen differently. Nobody really cares either. This garbage is doing nothing more than playing on the success of the first two films. It is just another pathetic outing in the family film genre. Score: 2 / 10

SnoopyStyle The members of the Ducks get scholarships to prep school Eden Hall Academy. Coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is not coming with them. The kids struggle against the Varsity team bullies and strict new coach Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling) as they try to grow up.The franchise has nothing left. The cute kids are older now. Emilio Estevez is simply doing a cameo. The movie is torn between its kiddie franchise DNA and high school drama. It's nice to see many of the kids return. It seems like an easy play to have some of the kids have some romance with each other. Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson) is chasing new girl Linda but they have no chemistry. He's bitter and has no rooting interest. The franchise is unable to transform into something more. As a kiddie movie, it has run out of steam.

TheLittleSongbird Starting with the good things, it is nicely filmed with crisp cinematography and nice scenery. The soundtrack is great, and Jeffrey Nordling steps into the coach's shoes with enthusiasm with Emilio Estevez making a brief appearance. The Mighty Ducks themselves are performed with real spirit also and the few ice hockey scenes are well choreographed. However, where the film is lacking is in the plot, the plot weren't the greatest in the first two films but here it was really predictable and uninspired coupled with uneven pacing. And while I liked the scripting in the first two, it is fairly weak here. Joss Ackland's role is rather cartoonish, more to do with how the character was written rather than acted, and the direction is nothing special. Overall, merely average and worth seeing, but there are a few components here that make it the weakest of the franchise. 5/10 Bethany Cox

sgreg220 "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.
