Now I hate this saying, because frankly, there are so many actors who have been horribly typecast as kids because of this saying, but The Might Ducks movie doesn't work as well with the grown up ducks! Now I didn't have too many problems with this film, I just wasn't that impressed or moved by it. I think many would agree, it's like seeing Rocky in Rocky 5, he's so old and you're afraid that he's going to break a hip boxing. Well, that's D3, the kids are more grown up and less interesting because we know when they become teens, they're less interested in what kept them happy as children.
The kids have scholarships to one of the best high schools, and now have a new coach, Coach Orion. Orion is completely different from Gordon, he's a little tougher and has more rules, but you learn why he is that way later on. The kids also have to worry about the Varsity team of the high school, because this is the team that has the big time seniors on it that want to pick on little freshman. And they do so through silly 5 year old pranks.
While it's not a terrible movie, I liked the second Mighty Ducks a little better and it worked more than D3. But I can see this movie working for pre-teens, I'm serious, because I think they could relate to the film a little bit of being the new kids in school. But for adults alone, I'm not sure, to each his own.
