VHS Movie Reviews of Mighty Ducks
Movie Review: Thank you very much, Mr. Ducksworth. Quack, quack, quack, Mr. Ducksworth!
Summary: 5 Stars
The kids classic The Mighty Ducks does everything right; case-end-point, Although there is much to be said for this beloved Disney tale.
Gordon Bombay(Emilio Estevez) was once a boy who loved hockey more then anything, when his father passes away and he loses the final shot for his team and their pee-wee championship he's scarred for life, and turns to a dark future as a no-good defense lawyer. When he gets court mandated community service to coach a pee-wee hockey team, (which seem to look more like a group of misfits then any sort of team) his hatred of children becomes a love, which leads him back to his greater love of the game itself.
The cast of children is full of wide-eyed talent, lead by an adorable Charlie(Joshua Jackson) and hilarious Goldberg(Shaun Weiss) that still constantly make me laugh time and time again.
A fun film for anyone young at heart, hockey lover or not!
Movie Review: "You Quacked At Your Teacher ~ Ducks Fly Together!"
Summary: 5 Stars
'The Mighty Ducks' released in '92 is probably the only film that can boast that its theatrical success launched a sports franchise. Fact or fiction, as a movie it found a large enough audience to convince Disney Studios to follow-up with two more installments of Mighty Duck Mania.
Plot: Self-absorbed young lawyer, Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is sentenced to community service for a traffic violation. His assignment is to fill in as the interim hockey coach for a local group of underachieving kids. Coach Bombay, a former hocky star in the same league years earlier, has inherited the worst team in the league. Can he harness their rebellious attitudes and turn them into contenders? Maybe even make them good enough to challenge the perennial champions and his old coach?
Formulamatic but lots of fun anyway. Estevez is surrounded by a strong cast with: Lane Smith as Coach Reilly, Heidi Kling as Casey Conway, Joshua Jackson as Charlie Conway and Marguette Moreau as Connie.
Movie Review: In the beginning,when the Ducks were born.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well first let me start off by saying the 1st and I mean 1st movie in a set of follow up movies all ways suck!Why,I'll tell you why.Because the 1st is always the beginning,which is always the formation,which is always the worst.Ex;The 1st season of Full House sucked,becuse...(well the Olsen twins cant really act anyway) but because it was the first time the actors all got together as one as an whole to do an t.v sitcom.They didnt know each other and probaly didnt react good together beause they were just learning about each other.But as season two rolled along the show got better becuase they knew each other then and were'nt as camera-shy.So basically if you can read between lines.........you will get my message(D2 was better for obvious reasons)!Movie Review: I love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not much of a hockey fan, but after watching this I have had a lot more respect for the sport! This movie is not all about sports; it also has a twist of romance. Everyone, sports fans and not, should watch this movie.Movie Review: Decent movie.........Not so decent DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, so we all know the story about how the Ducks come from behind to win and how Coach Bombay gets revenge on his old coach for many years of bad memories.
Fair enough.
As corny and as thin as the plot can be at times, it's still a great story with good morals. It's definitely no Hoosiers or Rudy by a longshot, but it's Disney at it's best. It's a classic Disney sports movie as well as a great family film.
Now, the DVD. Let's just say that I sure didn't buy this movie for the special features. There's a menu screen with a chapter search and that's about it.
Ohh, one more thing. Whenever they re-released the film for DVD, I guess they must have inserted Queen's "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You" into portions of the film and at the end credits. One thing in particular that kinda bugged me is that fact that the original score by David Newman is replaced by Queen's "We Are The Champions" right at the part where Charlie scores the winning penalty shot. It's not that Queen's song wouldn't be fitting here. I just felt that the original score added a lot of emotion within the film. Not a huge deal. I just didn't remember that the last time I saw the movie on VHS.
Ahh well. I guess for $8 I really can't complain.
Summary of Mighty Ducks
Disney had an unexpected hit with this predictable comedy about a smug lawyer (Emilio Estevez) busted for drunk driving and ordered to coach a sad-sack team of hockey-playing kids as community service. The kids triumph over their sundry problems, and Estevez's character grows up a little. End of story. A perfectly harmless movie for kids and adults who are giving their brains a night off. --Tom KeoghUnderdogs Video
