A film that is very superficial and stupid in terms of story and beautiful in terms of CGI .... It is so confusing that even he's doesn't know what he's wants!

I really don't have a lot to say on this one. I grew up with the original film and have enjoyed its campiness time and again over the years, but I think even fans of that will find it kinda difficult to enjoy this one, as it more or less follows the first film beat by beat, but that isn't even the worst part of this. The worst part is that this entire film is essentially one long Warner Bros. commercial, throwing shameless Warner product placement, films, and characters left and right in not-so-creative or clever ways. Lebron James makes the most of what he's given, but even he looks bored and underwhelmed through most of this. Overall, does it have its moments of color and spectacle? Sure, but that's all this film really has going for it, and that can't overcome a contrived and uninspired story that lacks the heart and charm of the original.… Expand

Style points could have worked and been a nice differentiator if they weren't done quite so stupidly and if LeBron actually tried using them. There's a few fun moments with the toons but man this movie lacked the fun of the original. In Space Jam, Jordan had scenes with his friends/rivals and Bill Murray in and their omission is sorely missed. The soundtrack was equally meh compared to the greatness of the original. Overall Wonderbunny Lola is the best thing in the film but even then, her design in the original was better...… Expand

Due to all the Warner Brothers movie references and cameos I found the sequel even more fun than the first film. Lebron is the least interesting thing about the movie though.

Michael Jordan had more charisma on screen. Lebron is a bit wooden and too much of a control freak father to be likable in it. As Lebron’s wife, Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek Discovery) seems like she is trying too hard to win an Oscar every time she acts, even in a Space Jam movie.
The Looney Toon characters are at least entertaining throughout. Even when the basketball game they are playing isn’t as entertaining as they are. The film loses a lot of steam during the basketball game.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Product Placement: The Movie

After 25 years of waiting, They blew it. Though the cast does a decent job, The basketball scenes are quite fun, and the visuals and animation are fantastic, The story is poorly written, The characters are quite bland, And the humor is very hit or miss. But the biggest sin this movie commits is the product placement, It’s literally a 115 minute commercial for Warner Media properties, I will concede that Rick & Morty’s cameo was absolutely hilarious but the rest of the product placement is completely unnecessary and way too in your face. It’s not horrible, But this is a pretty bad film and a massive letdown.… Expand

Not as good as the first but more enjoyable then I thought. Actually had a few laughs and a few of the cameos and characters in it were very unexpected. Wasn’t expecting much and it was an okay watch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 6
Acting: 7
Plot: 5

The Looney Tunes franchise returns to the big screen after being absent for 25 years after 1996’s Space Jam and 18 years after 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Just like those two movies and this year’s Tom and Jerry, this one is also a live action/animation hybrid movie.

LeBron James (himself) is a well-known and famous basketball player in the NBA who wanted his two sons, Darius and Dom, to follow in his footsteps. Unlike Darius, Dom (Joe) is more interested in video game who wanted to be a video game developer when he grows up.

Meanwhile, a computer A.I. at Warner Bros. studios called Al-G Rhythm (Cheadle) gain an interest in LeBron James due to his popularity. LeBron and his son are invited by the studios to discuss a potential movie deals but he decline the offer because not only he sees himself as a basketball player, he thinks the idea itself is very bad from the start. On the other hand, Dom shown an interest in Al-G Rhythm while also revealed in the process that he is going to E3 Game Design camp instead of basketball camp.

Not happy with LeBron’s rejection, Rhythm lure both him and his son to the basement server room where they got capture and trap in virtual reality. Rhythm challenge LeBron to a basketball game while holding Dom as his captive and if the latter wins, he will set them both free but if Rhythm wins, they will be trap here forever. After that, Rhythm sends him to Tune World where LeBron meets Bugs Bunny (voiced by Jeff Bergman). Together, they assemble a team consisting of the other Looney Tunes characters for the upcoming game.

It has been a long time since I last watch Looney Tunes cartoon shows and movies and I must say that watching this movie really brings back not only the memories of growing up with it, the movie also brings back the fun and nostalgia. LeBron’s acting was pretty good. I did not expect that he can actually act as I only see him as basketball player at first. This movie proved me wrong. Don Cheadle also did great with his performance. His acting is one of the good things about this movie.

As for the Looney Tunes characters, Jeff Bergman along with Eric Bauza, Zendaya, Bob Bergman, Candi Milo and Gabriel Iglesias have done a great in voicing the characters. The characters are exactly like they are supposed to be with little to no changes made to the character. The animation is great as well especially the hand drawn animation. The characters in CGI animation are also great and not too horrible to look at. Other than that, this movie also featured many other Warner Bros. IPs such as DC Universe, Hanna-Barbera, Harry Potter and more. It is pretty fun to spot all those cameos and Easter Eggs while watching.

While I think this movie is fun and nostalgic, the story in this movie is not exactly great. The plot of this movie is rehashed from the first movie. The main characters trapped in a different world, a challenge to a basketball game to win their freedom and a happy ending. It is really nothing new as this movie do featured other IPs, this movie sometimes make you feel like this a product placement movie like how Michael Bay usually done with his movies. As for the humours, some might find the humours a hit while others might find it a miss.

This movie may not be masterpiece but to me, it is still a fun and enjoyable movie to watch especially having grew up watching Looney Tunes. By the way, you do not need to watch the first movie to understand this one. This movie is a standalone sequel with no follow up from the original movie. If you are a fan of Looney Tunes or grew up watching the show, give the movie a chance and if you have kids, watch it together as family.… Expand

Nevertheless, the movie has enough charm to not be as sinister as the AI ran Warner Brothers depicted within. The countless cameos aren't as tasteless as reviews will have you think, more a treat for eagle eyed fans. The acting is almost non existent besides for the always funny Khris Davis. A slightly less funny version of the first film with a fun second half of sportsball and one thousand cameos.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.… Expand

I heard plenty of giggling kids in the theater, so I guess it worked for them. The story is simple and familiar and further reinforces father and mother stereotypes. The entire movie felt like a commercial for Warner. Ugh.

Same with gabriel iglesias voicing speedy gonzales, I don't hate either of them but there voices are unfitting, second of all, we were asking for a direct sequel, not a standalone, we just needed another fight with the monstars, not a.i., it looks like wb is trying to fit in with the current world.

But I will judge his acting and it’s honestly one of the factors that brings this movie down they even make a joke that athletes don’t make good actors. But the animation 2D or CGI look fantastic the gorgeous animation look fantastic from the last 25 years which is a no brainer. But I have to lack the movie in certain ways one like all reviewers say it basically is a huge Warner Bros commercial with countless Easter eggs in the background of the basketball game, which can be very distracting at times. Two is Lola Bunny she is not played by a dedicated voice actress she’s played by Zendaya. Not that I have a problem with her but when you have all the other original Looney Tunes voice actors coming back why not let Lola have hers it takes me out when she talks. Don Cheadle is giving his all though sometimes it a bit much at least he’s having fun. Overall this is a movie little kids will love but aside from the gorgeous 2D and CGI animation LeBron and Zendaya kinda sink the film down for me. I do love the Looney Tunes performances though and the basketball ball game is a long one around half hour which gives so many great CGI my favorite is the Water guy on the Goon Squad. Ranking Ok. .… Expand
