D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)

Simply Perfect

How sad is this?

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie is just about rock bottom. It spits in the face of the great sport of hockey. Every game scene is unrealistic or just to dam slow to be real.The characters are dull and forgettable and I know the movie is a comedy but guess what it fails at that to.*To hockey players a few scenes imparticular bug me are the shoot out scene because no one does any of those moves or the goalie takes slapshots form 50 feet. Its annoying to see terrible actors playing even worse hockey players. Also the scene where Russ Tyler comes 40 ft out of the net takes his helmet of and shoots a knuckle puck(Fakest shot ever) and scores a terrible goal to tie the game. The final scene that takes the cake is when the cowboy hockey player from Texas takes goes into the shoot out he does two moves both used in real hockey unfortunately there so out of context they look pointless and accomplished nothing. The first move was the Michigan where he picks it up on his stick. This move is used usually to pick the puck up from behind the net and score. The second move is the "through the legs" which is normally only used to get around a defensman.All in all this movie is terrible the only reason it isn't given one star by the decent performance of Emilo Estevez

For some odd reason, I liked D2: The Mighty Ducks. Now, obviously, I haven't had the opportunity to see The Might Ducks, you know, the first one? But my friend only had the second and the third, so I'm watching those first and hopefully I didn't have to see the first one to understand the second. But I got the story just fine, not to mention, after reading the summary of The Mighty Ducks, I get the point of the movie.Basically, Gordon now has the chance to coach his Mighty Ducks again, only this time, they are Team U.S.A. They are fighting against the best Pee-Wee hockey teams in the world, including the very nasty, plays against the rules, Iceland Team. Now, if you've seen The Karate Kid, you get where this is going. Of course, Gordon changes and wants to win instead of have fun, leading the team into stress, and again, if you've seen Rocky, you get the point.See what I mean by how predictable it was? Not to mention how many inspirational speeches there were, I was getting a toothache from how many there were, they were so sweet, it was unbearable. But I thought that it was a fun family film that the kids would definitely get a kick out of. As silly as it was, it is a good film for the kids, for morals, you know? :-D But, just sit back and enjoy, you never know, you might like it as well.6/10

Unfortunetely for us, the Estevez & Mighty Ducks fan, this was the last good ''theater'' movie of Emilio. It is very sad to say but it's the truth. That movie is really funny, you laugh even if it's way too much stupid. The cast play well their characters and they add new characters so it add a bit of fantasy in the movie for their new plot. It's not half the 1st but still it's pretty good! It's your typical fast-food sequel made for the big bucks but hey, they do what they can with that plot, it failed but for the fans it was a success!! Estevez always do movie at that time (D2, Judgment Night, Another Stakeout, Loaded weapon...) that man was everywhere and he was indeed my favorite, that's an actor I really miss!

I love this movie and the other two movies in this series. I believe that it is the best of the series b/c it was a lot lighter than the other two. My favourite part might have been in the end when everyone is around the campfire and they burst into a horrible version of "We Are The Champions." Though it was horrible it was hilarious and very cocky. I'm sure all of us would break into this song after beating everyone in the world in hockey....though it's hard to believe Canada didn't kick Americas asses. I am a fan of Queen also and I believe this movie may have had a great deal with that as well.As a girl I have to say that when I was ten this was the first movie that I saw boys for more than just stupid pricks. If you want to be a kid again watch this movie and enjoy but don't bash it b/c it wasn't made to entertain teenagers and adults.
