D2: The Mighty Ducks

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I thought that D2 was a good movie, although some of the parts seemed to be unrealistic, and some main characters from The Mighty Ducks were missing. I missed Hans, though I did really like his "replacement". One of the bigger missing characters, I thought, was Ms. Conway, Charlie's mother. I think that if you're going to introduce a sort-of-main character in the first movie, you should stick with it in the second.
In D2, the Ducks get accepted into the Goodwill Olymipic Games. They get some new players who they aren't getting along with to well in the beginning, but who they sort their differences out with. In the Olympics, they go up against teams from all over the world, but with none are they so competetive than with the favored-to-win team, Iceland.
The coach of the Iceland team is sort of like Coach Riley in D1, but is, I think, more extreme. Coach Bombay has kind of the same "screw up" that he had in D1, but another old man, who is filling Hans' place in his hockey store when the owner is absent, helps Bombay sort things out.
In the end of the movie, Iceland and the U.S are set up in the big final game. Who wins? Well, I can't tell, but it's a great ending.
Summing up, I think that D2 was better than D3, but not as good as The Mighty Ducks.

Summary: The Mighty Ducks....Reducks!
Review: If you can chew gum while you skate or merely
like to see Scandinavians be defeated in
pseudo-Olympic competions that no longer exist
then you will love D2: The Might Ducks.

After a year of rest and working at Mall of
America, half of the Ducks come back to join
forces with a Magic School Bus-like cross-section
of interracial of hockey players and regional
stereotypes.

But even 28 year old Dean Portman and a large-eared
cowboy may not be enough to stop Team Iceland who,
basically, is allowed to cheat.

Even after picking up a black kid from inner city
Los Angeles, can a pre-pubescent racial melange possibly
defeat a eugenically perfected gene pool of aryan
giants?

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never mock skate
sharpening again!

So grab some of Han's egg meal and D2 today.

Summary: Awe-Inspiring!
Review: Released in 1994, D2 THE MIGHTY DUCKS is the first sequel to THE MIGHTY DUCKS. Continuing the story of the young Ice Hockey team and their coach Gordan Bombay (Emilio Estevez), we now have the team representing the USA at the Junior Goodwill Games as Team USA. Their main rivals this time round are the Iceland team. Along with the fun and mayhem that the Ducks cause during their time in Beverly Hills where the games are played, we have Gordon Bombay caught up in the success that he is currently having. You see, Team USA have a corporate sponsor who wants coach Bombay to do a lot of publicity, thus affecting his time with the Ducks. However by the end of the movie he learns that he needs to standby the Ducks in order for them to win and be Champions at the games.

Initially we are reintroduced to some of the teenagers from the first movie. It is here that we discover who from the first film is not returning. Lucky for us we meet some new members of the team, and they are a lot more interesting than the ones who are missing. Of the newcomers, one is a goalie who can save virtually every shot made at her; another is extremely big and strong (but gets a little too carried away sometimes); another is a cowboy who uses a rope to round up players; one is a fantastic skater; and one is extremely fast, only problem is once he starts he has a real problem with stopping. All these new players greatly add to the fun of D2 THE MIGHTY DUCKS.

As with many sports movies there is a lot of inspiration and this comes from the script, the dedicated acting and directing, and from the music which though repetitive is catchy and very awe-inspiring.

All three of the Mighty Ducks movies are awe-inspiring and it just depends on your personal preference as to which one is the best. For me personally, my favorite is D3 THE MIGHTY DUCKS, but D2 THE MIGHTY DUCKS is a close second. As well as seeing Emilio Estevez, watch out for Joshua Jackson (Pre-Dawson's Creek) as the captain of the Mighty Ducks.

There are no special features on this DVD, but the movie is in widescreen. However, the movie itself makes it worth buying so let's be thankful for small favors.

Summary: so many mistakes
Review: The entire mighty ducks series is full of mistakes that inexplicably made it into the movies. in the first movie after banks gets knocked out and taken for xrays hes back on the ice like 5 minutes later. howd that happen? the 2nd movie is even worse. Jesse Hall starts the movie out as a right handed shooter, and then takes his penalty shot at the end of the movie left handed. The same thing happens with adam banks. The one thing that killed me more than all of this was the last penalty shot of the game. Whats with the suspense? if the goal light doesnt go on and nobody sees the puck in the net, what could possibly have happened to it? why does everyone hold their breath wondering if julie stopped it? of course she stopped it! if you want to see a good hockey movie see Miracle.

Summary: "Ducks 2: Duck Soup"
Review: The hockey purist could be offended at the on ice antics of "Team USA" as it takes on opponents in an international competition. From the new character "Cowboy," rope tying opponents to figure skater Ken Wu trying to get through the defense with a "triple axle," it is as far fetched as any youth sports movie has ever gotten. Estevez was clearly in this only for the money and if you notice "Team USA," supposedly the best teen players in the country, doesn't even skate that well!

The rivalry between Estevez and the Icelandic coach is believable and Disney including some inner city kids to develop the plot is admirable. The ending is enjoyable especially when a least likely character is allowed to shine. Kids, hockey fans or not, will love it and that is who the "Duck" series was designed for. As an adult you really better suspend your belief in this one. But then again, isn't that what movies are supposed to be about anyway?

Summary: The Ducks Have Returned.....
Review: The Mighty Ducks was a great movie put out by Disney, and this, the sequel, is no exception. D2 picks up a year after their initial season. In this movie, The Ducks are chosen to represent the USA at the Junior Goodwill Games. In been selected, the team must face off against the best that the world has to offer, and at the same time show the world what they have to offer. In the process of the tournament the Ducks face many challenges that need to be overcome and actually learn what it takes to be a team; all thanks to some "school-yard puck" masters. Typical Duck hyjinks are present throughout the flick, and it was nice to see a lot of the original cast again, from Coach Bombay to Charlie, and of course Goldberg. This movie is a nice family feature that a person of any age would enjoy. If you love hockey, this movie is a great watch, and if you're up for a great watch, this movie is for you. Just remember to watch out for "The Flying V."

Summary: Brilliantly directed heartfelt film
Review: This film, brilliantly directed by Sam Weisman (Film: Bye Bye Love, George of the Jungle; TV: Family Ties, Brooklyn Bridge), is a funny, entertaining and heartwarming story about those crazy cats you love to love, The Mighty Ducks. It follows them from small town competition in Minnesota, to big time hockey in Los Angeles, California. A must see for...well, I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't like it.
