Okay guys, the fact that this movie got such a low rating really makes my blood boil! If you can't appreciate such a touching film as Free Willy 3: The Rescue, I'd like to see what you guys watch. This movie really touched me, so did the other two movies in the trilogy. I'll admit, this movie may not have been as good as the other two, which is why I'm only giving it a 9 out of 10, but it still is quite the masterpiece. It's better than any of those other bullshit movies about animals, like air bud or MVP! Those movies were garbage and have absolutely nothing on free Willy. Free Willy 3: The Rescue, has, and always will have, a special place in my heart. I grew up with this trilogy and I hold it very dear to my heart. If you're a parent and you want your child to see some quality film making, I advise you to rent Free Willy 3. This movie doesn't have any violence or anything that'll warp your child's mind into growing up to be some crack-head, animal beating criminal, which is what most movies tend to be doing these days. No, this movie will inspire your kid to do good with his life, it'll make your child appreciate the beauty of animal life. If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend you watch it asap. It will appeal to people of all ages.

Free Willy is pretty much the non-sci-fi version of E.T. Although not as good, it still gives you the same feeling and remains an iconic landmark. Free Willy 2 was also great with many great elements. Now, there's Free Willy 3: the most different and edgiest which polarizes the opinions of the viewers. Jesse gets a job working with his longtime buddy Randolph. They discover that Willy is going to be a father, so Jesse is excited. Meanwhile, young Max Wesley sees his father illegally hunting wales. Max knows that's wrong, but his dad convinces him it is not a big deal. Max befriends Willy and starts to feel for him. When Jesse and Randolph get involved, they try to stop Max's father from more wale killings.

Richter and Schellenberg are the only two returning cast members. Many people wonder what happened to Elvis and Nadine from the previous flick. I found Jesse and Randolph alone to be fine, as they are the best characters. One may also not like half the story centring around Max and his family. They also may not like seeing his father hunting and killing wales, which is shown. There are also brawls which make things less settling. Having said that, this movie needed that action and brutality. Doing another Free Willy movie in the same fashion as the first two would suck. Although the first two were good, they were also dry and stale with little excitement. The sheer danger rises which makes for more excitement.

3/4

Wow Willy sure needs rescuing quite a lot. I've never met a whale so needy.
