Editorial Review from Description:
Emilio Estevez and the original Ducks are back in this fast-moving comedy starring the most popular hockey team in movie history! After the Ducks win scholarships to a snooty private school, Coach Bombay (Estevez) announces that he's moving on to greener pastures with the Goodwill Games. Shortly after the team arrives at Eden Hall Academy, they inherit a new coach who turns out to be their worst nightmare when he strips Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson) of his position as captain! Then, with their scholarships on the line, they face their toughest rival -- the 10-time championship varsity team! The Ducks and their opponents engage in a series of hilarious pranks to warm up for their battle on the ice. And in a thrilling and climactic third-period battle, the Ducks must prove why they are called the Mighty Ducks! "The quack attack is back!" (USA Today) -- and D3 will have you and your family cheering!

    Just picking up the trash [ What is left of the ducks? ], 2008-09-29
Now I am as big a fan of the first two Might Ducks movies as anybody else, they are classics I grew up watching over and over, and until recently I couldn't remember much of D3. Sadly now, I can't seem to forget it.
br /
br /The cast is noticeably older, I mean really I dont think anyone can believe Aaron Lohr or Elden Henson (better known as the bash brothers) could pass for freshmen in high school. Emilio Estevez is absent from most of the film, seeing as how Bombay is no longer the coach of the ducks, and they have all received full scholarships to a prep school, that Bombay had once attended, under a strict new coach. Of course Charlie(Joshua Jackson) being so close to Coach Bombay has a huge problem with this new coach, which deepens when he is no longer the captain of the team, and his teenage angst becomes increasingly unappealing and uncharacteristic.
br /
br /Although there are some high points to the film, my favorite being Dean Portman(Aaron Lohr) and his penalty box striptease; overall this film is hard to sit through, filled completely with old jokes, and recycled scenarios. For some reason Luis has forgotten how to stop again, the cowboy is still roping people on the ice... even during games(which I'm pretty positive wouldn't fly) and I could almost swear Bombay gives Charlie the same exact speech that is given to him in D2.
br /
br /I also find it hilarious that Scott Whyte appeared as Gunnar from team Iceland in D2, and in D3 he is Scott, the varsity team goalie who has a crush on Julie. I always knew he looked familiar.
br /
br /The film had potential, but compared to the previous installments in their glory, D3 is a waste.
br /
br /I will admit I appreciate the appearance by Paul Kariya.
