Really Surprised!

Memorable, crazy movie

Great Film overall

Absolutely the worst movie.

Let me preface this review by saying, wow, what a musical. The pageantry was phenomenal and the character development of Wu would make anyone shed a tear. A few complaints about the hockey performance. I mean the Texas guy is just lassoing people? A memorable quote I drew from this movie was, "This isn't a hockey game it's a circus" I also hated when that coach guy was in the business suit or whatever those kids didn't like about it. Dean Portman bullied me through the screen, it was awesome. Also, Goldberg sucked, why didn't he throw in that girl like she was killin it in that first scene with the pucks and stuff.

This movie wasn't quite as good as the original, but few sequels are. Still, it was a decent movie. Estevez returns to coaching the Ducks after his hockey (and return to the NHL) are derailed by an injury, and he winds up coaching not just the Ducks but the USA hockey team. He loses sight that hockey was supposed to be fun and cares more about winning the tournament before regaining his senses and his original vision.My favorite scenes are the party scene, the scene with Wayne Gretzky, the part at the beginning where the bad kids literally get tied up, the game scenes, and the scene where Estevez burns his cardboard image. If you liked the original, you might like this one.** 1/2 out of ****

The first "Mighty Ducks" movie captured the essence of "hockey humor". With the addition of some new characters, "D2" manages to outshine even its quack-tacular predecessor.For a basic plot summary, this movie sees the Ducks reunite under Coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) as Team USA for the Junior Olympics. Besides the usual team leaders such as Charlie (Joshua Jackson) and Adam Banks (Vincent Larusso), newcomers like Julie "The Cat" Gaffney (Colombe Jacobsen), "Cowboy" Dewayne Robertson (Ty O'Neal), and Russ Tyler (Kenan Thompson), to name but a few, via for spots on the team. The team to beat in the tournament is Iceland, coached by big, bad Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson (Carsten Norgaard), who completely intimidates all-comers."D2" is better than the original because of the crazy new characters that inject new life into the precedings. The "old gang" is still as funny as ever, but every new character in this film is better than any of the originals (save maybe for Lester Averman (Matt Doherty)).This movie pretty much follows along with the same themes as the first one, those being the "sacred nature of hockey" and "having fun over winning". For those who like sports movies or hockey in general, this one will have you laughing even louder than the first one.

As much as I liked this movie, along with the other Mighty Ducks movies, I just have one question? Where is Canada? I mean, Iceland??? Sorry but it is just hard to get too into it knowing that the team that wins every tournament at all ages, said team being Canada, was not in there. Its too bad really because they would have smoked team USA just like they always do. That would have made the movie so much better! But I guess it makes sense in a way. I guess the writers of the movie knew that if they included Canada in the movie, it just wouldn't make sense to have Team USA beat them, so they put a team like Iceland in it instead so it would be easier for the Americans to win, and more realistic in a way. But still, Writers, Canada wins every time. It would have been nice to include them because we all know, there is nothing wrong with the team the movie is centred around, losing. Take for example, Sunset Park. The team doesn't always have to win to make a successful movie.
