This follow-up to the surprise Disney hit about a hockey team of misfits brings Emilio Estevez back to the role of the kids' yuppie coach. This time, Estevez assimilates his Ducks into the higher-stakes Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games, an opportunity that could bring fame and money. Entirely perfunctory, this sequel is basically an excuse to revisit the eccentricities of some of the younger characters, extend some of their conflicts into adolescence, and showcase their allegedly entertaining but ethically dubious abilities on the ice. Estevez is okay, but even he had enough after this movie. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
In this sequel, the Ducks participate in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles. But hockey isn't a Goodwill Games event -- swimming, basketball, and track and field are!

It happens very seldom that a sequel doesn't flop and disappear in comparison to its predecessor.
D2, however is one of the few that hold strong with the original Mighty Ducks film. Most of the young stars return in this film, and those who do not are replaced by much more interesting team members, including a bash brother and a hog-tying cowboy.
Emilio Estevez returns as hockey coach Gordon Bombay who's returned to the Ducks after an injury in the minor leagues which has prevented a future in the NHL, although he is quickly back on his feet when he is asked to be the coach for the USA team in the Goodwill games. With the infusion of a few new players, some exciting new drills and a lot of hard work the ducks are back in action and ready to kick some Iceland butt!
A little more silly then the first, but still packs in a lot of fun!

D2..The Mighty Ducks are back is the best movie ever. Emilio Estevez gives a performance that is Oscar worthy. His portrayal of the determined Gordon Bombay is nothing short of breath-taking. Emilio completely becomes Gordon Bombay in his most convincing role to date. Aside from Emilio, a young Joshua Jackon (aka Pacey from Dawson's Creek) shows glimpses of superstardom in his role as the young, caring Charlie Conway. When Charlie is willing to give up his role on the Ducks for the teams good, you WILL Have goosebumps. There is a little bit of Charlie Conway in each and every one of us. This movie also has loads of comedy. First off- The opening scene when they rollerblade through the Mall of America is..in a word..hilarious. Also- A young Kenan (of Nickelodeon fame) introduces the Knuckle Puck in this movie! The action and the laughs never stop in this movie which in a nutshell defined the 1990's and set the standard for all movies.

I thought that D2 was a good movie, although some of the parts seemed to be unrealistic, and some main characters from The Mighty Ducks were missing. I missed Hans, though I did really like his "replacement". One of the bigger missing characters, I thought, was Ms. Conway, Charlie's mother. I think that if you're going to introduce a sort-of-main character in the first movie, you should stick with it in the second.
In D2, the Ducks get accepted into the Goodwill Olymipic Games. They get some new players who they aren't getting along with to well in the beginning, but who they sort their differences out with. In the Olympics, they go up against teams from all over the world, but with none are they so competetive than with the favored-to-win team, Iceland.
The coach of the Iceland team is sort of like Coach Riley in D1, but is, I think, more extreme. Coach Bombay has kind of the same "screw up" that he had in D1, but another old man, who is filling Hans' place in his hockey store when the owner is absent, helps Bombay sort things out.
In the end of the movie, Iceland and the U.S are set up in the big final game. Who wins? Well, I can't tell, but it's a great ending.
Summing up, I think that D2 was better than D3, but not as good as The Mighty Ducks.

If you can chew gum while you skate or merely
like to see Scandinavians be defeated in
pseudo-Olympic competions that no longer exist
then you will love D2: The Might Ducks.
After a year of rest and working at Mall of
America, half of the Ducks come back to join
forces with a Magic School Bus-like cross-section
of interracial of hockey players and regional
stereotypes.
But even 28 year old Dean Portman and a large-eared
cowboy may not be enough to stop Team Iceland who,
basically, is allowed to cheat.
Even after picking up a black kid from inner city
Los Angeles, can a pre-pubescent racial melange possibly
defeat a eugenically perfected gene pool of aryan
giants?
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never mock skate
sharpening again!
So grab some of Han's egg meal and D2 today.

I think D2: THE MIGHTY DUCKS is definitely the best film out of the whole series. I mean, the original and D3 were great, but this one is definitely #1! Bombay and the Ducks are back and this time, they have been asked to represent the USA hockey team for the Junior Winter/Summer Olympics held in L.A.! They also get some new teammates, as well, and they are all from different states in the country. At first, the Ducks and the new players can't seem to get along. But of course, soon they become fast friends.
When they get to the Olympics, they face their biggest rival team - last year's championship team from Iceland. They are tough, bigger, faster, and much more competive, especially their coach. The USA team does very well in the beginning, but then they loose to the Iceland team bad. Soon, all Coach Bombay cares about is winning - and the USA team can't stand that! So when they take a day off, they meet up with these street hockey kids who teach them how to really play hockey and what it really takes to be a team. And their spirits suddenly start to grow, especially after Coach Bombay apologizes to them for acting like such a jerk. Finally, it is the championships and they have to face Iceland once again. Do they win? Why, of course!
D2 is much more hilarious than the first, and the kids play more practical jokes and tricks. The hockey games are excellent, even though of course probably most of the hockey players you see on the ice are stunt doubles. Still, a great movie and a must see and a must have if you own and loved the first one! The Quack Attack is back and better than ever!
