Free Willy 3: The Rescue (1997): Dir: Sam Pillsbury / Cast: Jason James Richter, August Schellenberg, Annie Corley, Patrick Kilpatrick, Vincent Berry: Pointless sequel where a whale is rescued for its third bloody time. This time Jason James Richter and August Schellenberg must rescue Willy from poachers who probably wish to eat the whale so to save viewers from a possible Free Willy 4. Director Sam Pillsbury does his best but even the photography looks bland. The screenplay is about as exciting as picking food from your teeth. Hearing a third grade kid read a book report on the whale would be more interesting than anything that happens in this sleep fest. Richter should be given some sort of an award for all the whales he has seen under the influence of bad sequels. Schellenberg also returns because he obviously pitied Richter and decided to share the blame. Also with Annie Corley and Patrick Kilpatrick who must deal with having this junk on their resumes. The animal rights message doesn't really matter here. This is just feeding off another franchise that never really had a fresh angle to begin with. We all understand the need to preserve wildlife but this feels more like an opportunity to milk a dying franchise to death. Even the whale looks like it ought to be moving on to better things, like the stage version of Orca. Perhaps the filmmakers should free Willy and come up with a new idea. Score: 1 / 10

Well, here we go again. The blonde dude is getting older and so it Willy time for one more adventure I think. This film wouldn't be so down rated it it maybe had been the second instalment. By now we have seen enough of the same stuff. In Willy 1 it was kind of boring and in 2 it was a little better but nothing too exciting, apart front he exploding boat of oil. So I would suggest watching number 1 (If you like wales) and number 2 (If you really love wales). But if you don't pass on by the whole lot of them. This is the final instalment, if your desperate for Willy watch, if not... Watch Spykids. Not saying thats any better either.

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.

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?
