Remember, this is a movie for kids- fun and casual!

The story was solid and sensible, the acting good (when non actors are typically stilted), the references were excellent, and the energy was upbeat and fun. This is like Nintendo's Smash,

It's a kids movie, and a fun one at that. The original was a bad movie (but kids loved it) and this one is a little better and kids should fall in love with it like kids of the time did with the original

Despite having to change Lola's design a bit and removing Pepe Le Pew scene, Space Jam: A New Legacy maneged to revive the nostalgia of its predecessor(a bit) and kept its slapstick comedy around. The plot us knda similar to the original but differ it with massive amount of character cameos from other franchises and gives it a big boost. Let's hope they do Space Jam 3 when its box office is a success! Expand

I’m not sure why people are review bombing a movie that’s meant to be for children, not immature adults. The hate for Lebron James is real and unprecedented; as reviews contain hyper criticism as if Lebron was supposed to have Denzel acting ability and fast action pace every 10 minutes. The production was top notch and if you give it a fair shake it’s no less than a 7/10. Anything lower quite frankly is a dishonest review fueled by depressed individuals. Expand

The critics are getting dumber and dumber each year. I think they are rating every movie without even seeing it. OK, let's come to the point "Space Jam:A New Legacy" is a well executed and exciting movie and it is also one of the best movies of 2021 so far. With it's top notch visuals and our old friends(The loony toons) the movie is completely loony and makes us laugh at our seats till the end. And also about two really dumb things that the critics pointed out in this movie makes us understand that they hadn't even watched this one. First of all Lebron James is acting for the first time in a full length movie and first timers can always find it hard to act in their very first movie but Lebron completely outshines with his bossy, comedious attitude and also makes us feel that he is actually having a fun time with the loony's for real. And second the most important thing is about overusing of Warner Bros ip's. But the director had done a really great job in merging the ip's with the movie. It is great fun to watch Coyote and Roadrunner in the sets of "Mad Max:Fury Road" and Daffy Duck and Porky hijacking a train to become heroes in the DC world. The animation part of the movie is also great and funny. The movie with it's next gen visuals takes us to the new era of movies and the most important thing for which this movie was ever made is to make us remember the loony toons forever and never ever forget them. So please watch this movie with your family and friends as soon as possible and never ever compare this one to "The Space Jam". Then you will enjoy the movie for sure because after you see it you will never forget the time that you laughed with the loony's and that memory will always be by your heart. Expand

Kids will like it but probably won't get all the jokes based on film references. Either way It's a fun watch. And the first time in 80 years Bugs Bunny and the other looney tunes have been presented in 3d Computer animation. Highly recommended. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a colourful delight with Wb's museum ride, Its Criminally low-rated. The story was decent but the whole concept about algorithm didn't made sense, the prequel had similar concept but it blended with whole situation amazingly this felt little disconnected from core story although the whole runtime is filled with Brilliant music and awesome soundtracks,raps and with it the awesome references of wb's property,mickey mouse and star trek too, As per visuals it was a pure stunning experience it was colorfull and the cgi and animation is pure art, This sequel's addition of lebron james was good although unlike 1st one this was heavily focused on his father aspects and his kid which was good but with shifting moments in such crowded movie the emotional appeal felt missing although the villian "algo" use of kid as opponent of bron at game was good, The game was entertaining, The starting with lebron childhood his escape from gaming for basketball and his similar wish for kid while the kid focusing on his game development and then the wb showcase and the algo's meet and whole game deal for algo's plan to be famous and his stealing people for game on the other hand the bron's stuck at looneyland and the whole team assemble thing was awesome the different places to recurit looneys and then the game 1st half with similar prequel style and then at half time the micheal jordan entry was just insanely "wow" it was surprising and then the 2nd half with awesome looney toons stuff and the end with father son together and the last goal made by game glitch and bugs sacrific it was amazing then the back to normal and kid's pursuing his dream and bugs meet at last with bron it was an good end, The game was entertaining and fun and The movie too, Overall its an awesome movie.

Streaming brought the past to the present. This week in theaters and on HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy made its premiere. Following in the footsteps of Space Jam from the 90's starring Michael Jordan, we have our own NBA superstar, LebronStreaming brought the past to the present. This week in theaters and on HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy made its premiere. Following in the footsteps of Space Jam from the 90's starring Michael Jordan, we have our own NBA superstar, Lebron James, leading the Tune Squad for a fight over the world. Let's see what this update/reboot/sequel has for viewers.

ISO LEBRON! That's exactly how this movie begins to feel. It is inevitable to compare this with the original Space Jam with MJ, and I don't really remember that movie being that MJ-focused. Yes it was literally the story of him retiring and getting the fire back to play in the NBA, but he felt more like a cog than a character. As the movie goes on, that iso turns more into team ball and its enjoyable. Anyway, some parts are uber corny. Nevertheless, Lebron actually does a pretty good job. I knew from his cameos in other films he could do it, but could he be the main attraction off the court? The jury is still out. I think he did a good enough job for the stereotypical athlete-sports flick. Lebron has some serious natural comedic timing but the serious emotional stuff is where the acting is a bit lacking. He can work on it though. It actually just might be his voice and not his acting. Something to ponder. Lebron might even be better in a villain or big bad role. Do they still need Jonathan Majors for the Kang the Conqueror role? Think about it Marvel. Let's talk about the rest of the cast. Cheadle is pretty good as well. Everyone else... people wise don't worry about (the sons tries his best).

Let's get to the basics - Space Jam: A New Legacy is keeping both the Space Jam and Looney Tunes legacy alive. The animation is really well done and brought everything to 2020. In fact, the use of the Warner Bros. World and use of other movies is so much fun to see here. Either way, the Tune gang is back at it led by your favorite bunny and his antics, and that makes this a really good family flick. The Tunes are the stars of this flick for sure with all of the laughs they bring. I'm looking at you Khaleesi!

While I see that Space Jam: A New Legacy is catching a bad rap, but honestly its a fun movie. Is Lebron a perfect and natural actor? No. He does a pretty good job though and is surrounded by some really funny critters and situations. I’m glad they paid homage to the first movie, but made it its own thing as well. This is one for the whole family. If you’re going to the theater, grab a bowl of popcorn during the matinee but those on HBO Max this is a must see Big Box. And that’s all y’all!

The original Space Jam wasn't a cinematic masterpiece, and neither was A New Legacy. I'm fine with that. Most people complain about it having elements that might be seen as dated in the future, but so did the original. The animation, both 2D and CGI, were amazing. The CGI looked super good. There wasn't too much story, but what is given is enough of a reason for the basketball game to happen. There are plenty of references to Warner Bros. franchises, both obvious and not-so-obvious. The film isn't really meant to be taken seriously, and I'm fine with that. In my opinion, Space Jam: A New Legacy is a laugh-out-loud film for the whole family, with some good parts, and some not-the-best parts. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not really sure why this movie is getting so much hate. If you watched Space Jam when you were younger, this movie has a pretty similar effect. People complaining that LeBron's acting is bad need to give the original a watch, as it was not any worse than MJ's acting. Don Cheadle's role in the movie is a bit lackluster at times, but does help the plot solidify. Also, the movie makes many references to its IPs, but it doesn't make it any different, however it does seem that WB is just showing off what they have. The plot of the movie is not amazing, but it's a kids movie at the end of the day, so it is pretty good compared to other kids movies. I suspect that most of the bad reviews is down to LeBron haters, and I even saw some reviews claiming something about boycotting the movie because of BLM(??). Regardless, the movie is fine. If you want to watch it with your kids, it is great because it will keep them entertained. If you want to watch for some nostalgia factor, it is also great as it fills the MJ shaped void that people miss from the original Space Jam. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whilst the product placement does go a bit far, and the plot isn’t too original, I really enjoyed this film. It has a nice message on letting those who you love be who they want to be, and it is great to see another (somewhat) traditionally animated film in the cinema again. I enjoyed the film's humour too. Some of it was a bit embarrassing (The Notorious P.I.G.?), but I laughed at a lot of it.

If you want a funny, entertaining and/or heartwarming film, or are just desperate to see the classic Tunes return to the big screen, this film is definitely for you!

Just finished watching the new Space Jam movie on HBO Max and I absolutely loved it. Obviously it was never going to match up to the original but surprisingly it does more than enough to stand on its own.

Space jam is a good movie. People just like to compare lebron and mj and even though the older movie is better it doesnt mean this one isn’t that good. I watched it with my two kids and they really liked it.

It is considerably less painful to finish. At times it's too funny to be amusingly bad, so for many that's a negative. This film dials back the absurdity quite a lot and explains quite a lot of the events, even if that's not apparent from the trailers. There's a lot more structure, and that allowed less risks to be taken for better or worse.

The live action performances early in the film feel unfinished and tonally inconsistent. They are paced way too fast for the relaxed tone the scenes should have, and at times it seems like Lebron received a different script than everyone else. When the stakes are raised later, things start to fall into place, but until then, they are just sucking up oxygen and you could not care less what they are saying. The only thing I can give the live action scenes credit for is being short, and the total absence of Wayne Knight.

Once the Tunes get involved, I have to say the film becomes moderately enjoyable. The pacing is still lighting fast, but the 2D animated cartoons aren't awkardly juxtaposed onto a living Lebron James, and he is actually turned into a 2D cartoon as well to aid in the interactions between the two, and I can only thank the heavens above that they chose this; it's much easier to focus on the Tunes performances when there isn't a massive real life person following them around. When he is converted back to 3D for the basketball game however, the Tunes are converted to 3D as well (accompanied by fittingly villainous music, oooh...) The mixing of media here is done in a much less jarring way, and the jokes being told are not immediately deflated by awkward real life interactions or Lola's debauchery.

I found myself remembering the jokes. Not one, but two days later. There's less dry slapstick and more structured jokes. I can't speak for any kids watching the new film in theaters, but it doesn't talk down to them and assumes you know a few things about the Looney Tunes and the live action cast, and if you do it's going to get a few genuine laughs. They demonstrate a good understanding of the source material and the celebrities used. It's not the absolute funniest the Looney Tunes have ever been, but I'd place it above the majority of their modern performances. Daffy's scene where he hijacks a train and is disappointed that it's headed towards an orphanage as opposed to the far less offensive locations listed, when Michael Jordan makes an appearance, when Tweety hits Anthony Davis with a train, when Damian Lillard as Chronos freezes time and messes with everyone. it's hilarious, it's classic Looney Tunes. In fact, Chronos' scenes are very, very good. I would watch them again any day of the week. I have to give credit where it's due.

While the movie is far from brilliant, it has moments of comedic brilliance and I cannot give it a truly bad score.

The first movie never wanted to be considered a "cult", go to read his reviews on metacritic, still low.
Space Jam became a cult for who was a kid in the 90, this movie will be the same for the kids of today and I'm happy because was a great new Space Jam for the new generations.
Who say bad acting? Michael Jordan in the first looked like bored and even without interest so... Visual effects were INCREDIBLES and I'll say...that Foghorn as Daenerys and Taddeus/Sylvester in Austin Powers was ART

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.

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.

In the first Space Jam we see that the Looney Tunes are the "owners" of the film and are looking and found Michael Jordan to play. That must have been it, not keeping Lonney Tunes out.

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.

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

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
