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
score 9/10
