It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This was a VERY entertaining family film. I had not seen either previous Willy flics, yet I was into it from beginning to end (along with my 4 year old daughter).So why the low rating? My hunch is people judge family films by adult criteria. Which is totally absurd, since we all know children's movies today are far superior than 95% of the so called, adult films coming out (which ironically enough, seem made for audiences with a teenager's intelligence).In short: ignore the low rating.
right in the first movie: whale gets caught, gets freed...fair enoughSecond time: gets caught again...well everyone makes mistakesthird time: what a stupid freaking whale! oh look a big net, lets swim into it, oh wait what happened the last time i did that?? oh too late I'm doing freaking circus tricks again.actually no the most stupid animal ever is the Barn Owl... its so stupid it has to have its home in its name so it doesn't forget where it lives !! i mean come on! honestly!i once saw a barn owl. it was in a pet store, i was rather impressed with its ability to turn its head, i didn't really like pet stores. i always wanted a mouse. which i would call Guinness. isn't that the greatest name for a mouse ever?you have to remember Guinness is rather nice, well because it Irish wow Irish alcohol, whatever next.and yes Guinness is black and white just like a certain stupid freaking killer whale named Willy. (see what i did there, what a link back) my belief is that dumb ass whale should be shot.i give this movie: -3 out of 16.2
Free Willy 3 is primarily about Max, an intelligent, inquisitive ten-year-old who accompanies his father on a whaling expedition. His conscience bothers him about his father's career, but instead of taking the usual route of performing a string of silly pranks (like you would see in a lot of children's shows), he tries reasoning with his dad. He also asks question after question -- not just about the technical aspects of whaling, but he also delves deeper into the more important questions of life ("Do you always have to do the right thing, even if it hurts?"). One of the things I liked best about Free Willy 3 was the realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the father, even though he was the "villain" of the story. He was a man doing a job that has been in his family for years, and without it he wasn't sure who he was. Despite having a career others disagreed with, he was a caring, compassionate person who loved his son. Other characters are drawn out nicely as well -- Jesse and Randolph, from the first two films, and their new co-workers on the sea -- showing their tempers as well as their more positive sides.Couple all these features with stunning cinematography and a beautiful score, and you have one fine film!
We who rule the pit of Sidcup are not amused. They should have learned, but no. I tried to warn them. I even sent twenty armed henchmen to chop their arms and legs off, but no. Jason James Richter, besides having a stupid name, is too old for this thing! Send him to the graveyard with Macaulay Culkin. If they bring out a fourth, I will personally rain fire and brimstone on all those responsible. At least they ditched Francis Capra. Perhaps they should try 'FREE BIDDY', where there's an old woman swimming about, and they chuck fish at her, or feed the latest annoying little kid to her. It would sell a lot more! So now I must take my ship to sea, and personally slaughter as many whales as possible. Why don't you come and get me, suckers?
