Reviews
Too repetitive and cringey for my liking. <em>'D2: The Mighty Ducks'</em> takes a slightly different path than the original, but by the end it's basically the same film once more. The message(s), while still well intentioned, comes across way more forced this time - not helped by the overall samey feeling, I guess. Emilio Estevez remains the only actor really worth mentioning, the children and villains are very forgettable in this one. Some of the plot lines don't go far either, namely with María Ellingsen's character. There are also a few missing faces from the 1992 film, including Casey (Heidi Kling); her stuff involving son Charlie (Joshua Jackson) is ignored. It's a silly film that can have enjoyment for some. For me, it's a disappointing follow-up to a great original film.
