![]() ![]() The thing is that for well over half of the movie Willy isn't really in trouble and so we have the fun of Jesse reuniting with him as researcher Drew Halbert looks impressed out how Jesse can get Willy to obey him. And why they come to his rescue is that they discover that the Orca's are being hunted and suspect a trawler masquerading as a Salmon fishing boat of the crime. In a way "Free Willy 3" is very similar to "Free Willy 2" with Jesse and Randolph coming to Willy's rescue as they both work on a boat researching/ tracking Orca. Suspecting captain John Wesley (Patrick Kilpatrick) and his trawler of being behind the whaling Jesse and Randolph put themselves in danger to save their old friend Willy and his Orca family. But the happiness is shattered when they learn that someone is doing a spot of illegal whaling as they spot a harpoon in Willy's tail. Having reunited with Randolph (August Schellenberg) to work aboard a whale research trip, Jesse (Jason James Richter) is as happy as ever when he catches up with his old friend Willy and when they discover that Willy's about to become a dad everything seems just perfect. In fairness "Free Willy 3" is no worse that " Free Willy 2" but it once more feels like a very contrived storyline pieced together because they could still wring a bit more profit out of the " Free Willy" series before audiences had enough. ![]() It goes too far and in many ways turns Willy into a Lassie style character as we pick up the story of Jesse and Willy. "What's that Willy, you're in danger and it's from a bunch of illegal whalers" that may sound like I'm taking the mick but that is what "Free Willy 3: The Rescue" descends to, humanizing Willy so much that this Whale not only can understand humans but humans can also understand Willy.
