Free Willy 3: The Rescue

We who rule the pit of Sidcup are not amused. They should have learned, but no. I tried to warn them. I even sent twenty armed henchmen to chop their arms and legs off, but no. Jason James Richter, besides having a stupid name, is too old for this thing! Send him to the graveyard with Macaulay Culkin. If they bring out a fourth, I will personally rain fire and brimstone on all those responsible. At least they ditched Francis Capra. Perhaps they should try 'FREE BIDDY', where there's an old woman swimming about, and they chuck fish at her, or feed the latest annoying little kid to her. It would sell a lot more! So now I must take my ship to sea, and personally slaughter as many whales as possible. Why don't you come and get me, suckers?

Okay guys, the fact that this movie got such a low rating really makes my blood boil! If you can't appreciate such a touching film as Free Willy 3: The Rescue, I'd like to see what you guys watch. This movie really touched me, so did the other two movies in the trilogy. I'll admit, this movie may not have been as good as the other two, which is why I'm only giving it a 9 out of 10, but it still is quite the masterpiece. It's better than any of those other bullshit movies about animals, like air bud or MVP! Those movies were garbage and have absolutely nothing on free Willy. Free Willy 3: The Rescue, has, and always will have, a special place in my heart. I grew up with this trilogy and I hold it very dear to my heart. If you're a parent and you want your child to see some quality film making, I advise you to rent Free Willy 3. This movie doesn't have any violence or anything that'll warp your child's mind into growing up to be some crack-head, animal beating criminal, which is what most movies tend to be doing these days. No, this movie will inspire your kid to do good with his life, it'll make your child appreciate the beauty of animal life. If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend you watch it asap. It will appeal to people of all ages.

I am going to start off by saying I really like the first two Free Willy movies. I would hardly call them the best movies ever, but they are very nice movies and I think underrated. This sequel is a worthy one. While there is a predictable story, some weak spots in the script and a lacklustre ending Free Willy 3:The Rescue is a nice and worthy sequel, that could have been so much worse.

Flaws aside, Free Willy 3 does have some stunning cinematography, and I loved the scene when Randolph throws the oranges in the water. I also loved the scenes between Nikki and Willy, and the one when Nikki gives birth which was brilliantly done. The score is absolutely beautiful, the pacing is brisk and the direction is amiable. And the characters are appealing especially Willy and Nikki, while Jesse and Max are great characters and the father is a sympathetic figure even for the villain of the piece, except I don't see him as a proper villain, just someone who means well but doesn't know exactly what he wants. The acting is good too, Jason James Richter and Vincent Berry are very likable, August Schellenberg makes a welcome return as Randolph and Patrick Kalpatrick does a great job with his character.

All in all, a pleasant family film. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Sentimental and enjoyable entry about the friendly teen who befriends a giant whale , including impressivr marine acrobatics. 16-year-old Jesse (Jason James Richer) and old friend Randolph (August Schellenberg) try to foil an illegal whaler threatening Willy and his pregnant mate. This time around an illegal operation threatens Willie and his orca pod . Willy the whale is back, this time threatened by illegal whalers making money off sushi. On the whaler's ship is captain John Wesley and his 10-year-old son, Max (Berry) , who isn't really pleased about his father's job , but he's horrified to discover his commercial fisherman father (Patrick Kilpatrick) is one of the whalers . A new friend. A new threat. A new adventure that will capture your heart.

Heartwarming and delightful story that follows the previous premises about the young Jesse , now 16 years old, has taken a job on an orca-researching ship, and , along with old friend Randolph and a sarcastic scientist called Drew face off a whale ship captained by a nasty captain , all of them determined to rescue the giant orca. Again an electronically operated stand-in whale was used for far-off shots and a domesticated performing whale named Keiko for the close-ups animatronics and digital effects were used to replicate the real Willy . Director was known known to grumble about temperamental Keiko during shooting. It contains colorful and spectacular cinematography by Tobias A. Schliessler shot on various filming locations from Squamish, Howe Sound, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada . Adding a stirring and breathtaking musical score by Cliff Eidelman who uses adequately the classic leitmotif composed by Basil Poledouris from previous entries. The motion picture was competently directed by Sam Pillsbury , though with no originality because copies the same former elements.

The trilogy is formed as follows : Free Willy (1993) by Simon Wincer with Jason James Richer , August Schellenberg , Michael Madsen , Jane Atkynson, . Free Willy 2 The adventure Home (1995) by Dwight Little with Michael Madsen Jane Atkynson , John Tenney , Elizabeth Peña , M Emmett Walsh . Free Willy 3 : The Rescue (1997) by Sam Pillsbury with Jason Jmes Richer , August Schellenberg, Patrick Kilpatrick , Anne Corley . Proof that family films can make money , Free Willy trilogy placed hight boxoffice as US as around the world.

The final movie free willy 3. For me I actually enjoyed watching this movies. I would say this movies is one of my favorites of all times since childhood. The 3rd movie I didn't really captured it that much. Yes I was paying attention. Maybe it could be another view from the movie into the essence of the first movie
