Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is back to coach Team USA for the Junior Goodwin Games in California. Most of the team is back with a few new players. Some of them are really ridiculous. This time the big bad guys are from Iceland coached by an old nemesis. Iceland?? Everything is going well, until Gordon loses his way with all the hype. But the movie is lost way before that.The genuine joy and underdog feel is missing in this. The characters aren't given much chance to develop further. Adding silly players with weird characteristics just dilute the product. Gordon actually said in this movie, "This isn't a hockey game. It's a circus." You're so right, Gordon. This movie is as ridiculous as a circus breaking out of a hockey game.

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

From the one liners to the poetic speeches. From Coach Bombays silky slick hair to the hot goaltender; this film oozes Disney, but provides something for everyone. Speaking from an adult point of view, the inability to lose itself from the roots of the first film speaks volumes for the charm of the mighty ducks series. Joshua Jackson performs in a more mature role, allowing Goldberg and the bash brothers to take centre stage.Its a dark story line, with the cool acting by the Iceland outfit is brought into its elements. Yet the colourful theme remains and fun prevails, climaxing in a crescendo of hockey and laughter....And the twist!!! Tarantino himself would have been proud of hiding Kenan Thompson as the tender to perform what became the household catchphrase: "Knuckle Puck".The only let down was that it didn't last forever.If you cant appreciate the directed genius of Mighty Ducks 2, you don't deserve eyes to enjoy movies.

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.
