Not the best to a series but better then most sequels

A lot of sequels to movies never stick to the original plot. D3 wasn't bad i think they tried to bring some truth into the movie showing what some kids go through at school and how freshman are treated at the some High Schools. It seemed great and funny at the beginning with Fulton hit crap while shooting and Goldberg going crazy on skates towards the center of the movie a little bit of over acting on Charlies parts. Toward the end it seemed to improve, the lack of hockey didn't bother me at all. It showed a lot more violence during the second and third game in this movie then the First and Second Mighty ducks movies. The only thing that really p***ed me off about this sequel is that a lot of the original characters weren't and is it just me but the girl that played Connie i don't think she looked any different then when she was in the first one she didn't get any taller her voice was a bit deeper.
