Los campeones 3

Why did they do this movie??? The first and the second was great. They didn't have to do this one. In D2 it looked that the spent a lot of money because it's well done. In D3 the budget seems to be down to zero and the story sucks! And the edit?? It's so bad that it makes me sick. But if you are a Duck fan like me, you have to deal with it.... One more thing: Why didn't they keep Jessie?

I'm not sure exactly why so many people think of the Mighty Ducks movies as silly and pointless. I was never good at sports, but I have always believed that, with proper coaching, any sport could teach children and teenagers about life. The third installment of this series, directed more toward teenagers than anyone else, really shows how teamwork and positive thinking can overcome obstacles and help them grow. I have seen D3 many times and yet as I recently bought the DVD and watched it again, I couldn't help but cheer for the Ducks.

This is probably the best of the series. Things that I liked about the movie: The kids grow up and if there's something enjoyable, it's that they kept most of the members from the first two. So watching their lives just make us warm and fuzzy. It's funny watching the hijinks of the team as the college seniors make life hell for the Ducks and vice-versa. Plus, we see the team try to adjust training under a new coach. The hockey games in this movies are always fun to watch. What I didn't like: We don't see enough about the new coach to make us care about him and the way he commands the team. I give this 4 of 5 stars.

This is an okay threquel, but what I like most is its appeal to the younger members of my household. My daughter is 8 years old and into sport, so it works for her.

I am not personally a huge fan of the franchise, but like the original and D2 this is generally a lighthearted and fun experience. I think the hockey scenes look technically better this time round. They are a predictable cheese fest, but enjoyable nonetheless. However, the associated character drama involving the coach and players feels as forced and implausible its predecessors. Mighty Ducks films do not do character conflict well at all.

I have no issues with the new coach and in fact find Jeffery Nording a more plausible hockey coach than Emilio Estevez. The script is not great, but Nording delivers his dialogue convincingly. Estevez you feel is there on name alone and appears to go through the motions.

This time round the young characters are not quite as appealing as they were previously, but there are some good scenes of misbehaviour, pranking and off ice shenanigans that are pretty entertaining. The Prep school setting and cliched antagonistic characters make you role your eyes, but if you do not take it more seriously than you should and accept it for what it is, there is no reason not to enjoy.

It it a 5.5/10 for me but I round upwards.

Well, looks as if the gang is off into a new-adventure into a highly uptight high-school on an athletic scholarship. That was about my biggest turn-off right now. The fact that it was a bunch of preps just dealing it out on the ice, giving out some hard-knock schooling on the ice.

The fact is, most of the original characters apparently no longer exist, and that is probably a major downfall. The plot wasn't the greatest plot of all-although it does show actual realistic details, such as the treatment of new freshman on the campus. The pranks that these the varsity and junior varsity teams pull are completely ridiculous, and most likely, wouldn't be found in such a highly scholar school.

The coach was a complete loser, and that is completely impossible that one man can change or mature within a small time of frame.

Another turning point is that there is no-mention of Han's companion (who went back to the Old Country in D2) but, Han's dies. This is a very upsetting time, and does take the comedy effect off of the Mighty Ducks series which appeared to be the main reason for the creation of the series to begin with.

As Theodore Taylor once told Gary Paulson, Never create a prequel or following up to an excellent work, they usually end up with a foul feeling in the audience, and it can really ruin ones career. This same advice goes for the director (Robert Lieberman).
