Movie Reviews of D3: The Mighty Ducks
Movie Review: Just picking up the trash [ What is left of the ducks? ]
Summary: 2 Stars
Now I am as big a fan of the first two Might Ducks movies as anybody else, they are classics I grew up watching over and over, and until recently I couldn't remember much of D3. Sadly now, I can't seem to forget it.
The cast is noticeably older, I mean really I dont think anyone can believe Aaron Lohr or Elden Henson (better known as the bash brothers) could pass for freshmen in high school. Emilio Estevez is absent from most of the film, seeing as how Bombay is no longer the coach of the ducks, and they have all received full scholarships to a prep school, that Bombay had once attended, under a strict new coach. Of course Charlie(Joshua Jackson) being so close to Coach Bombay has a huge problem with this new coach, which deepens when he is no longer the captain of the team, and his teenage angst becomes increasingly unappealing and uncharacteristic.
Although there are some high points to the film, my favorite being Dean Portman(Aaron Lohr) and his penalty box striptease; overall this film is hard to sit through, filled completely with old jokes, and recycled scenarios. For some reason Luis has forgotten how to stop again, the cowboy is still roping people on the ice... even during games(which I'm pretty positive wouldn't fly) and I could almost swear Bombay gives Charlie the same exact speech that is given to him in D2.
I also find it hilarious that Scott Whyte appeared as Gunnar from team Iceland in D2, and in D3 he is Scott, the varsity team goalie who has a crush on Julie. I always knew he looked familiar.
The film had potential, but compared to the previous installments in their glory, D3 is a waste.
I will admit I appreciate the appearance by Paul Kariya.
Movie Review: Excellent film, Horrible DVD!
Summary: 1 Stars
Buena Vista (the company that releases Disney films on DVD) chose to not release anamorphic DVDs when they first came to DVD, so none of these films are anamorphically enhanced. This means, if you have a widescreen television, you will have black bars on all four sides of the picture. Also, these discs are absolutely barebones, only featuring a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack and a 1.85:1 widescreen presentation. Where are the extras?! I don't know about you guys, but I am a Mighty Duck fan who is disappointed by the DVD release of this film.
