It's very clear this movie is aimed at millennials: people who grew up watching, not just the original Space Jam, but also DC super-hero shows & movies, The Matrix, Harry Potter, and (more recently) Game Of Thrones. All of theses, along with various other things cameo heavily throughout the movie. They've decided to take a very different approach to the last movie, leveraging any & every WB-owned property, in a very "Ready Player One"-style. In fact, this whole movie is arguably "Ready Player One, but make it LeBron James".

Which is especially disappointing when Lebron comes across as such an unlikeable, unsympathetic character for most of the movie. According to this, when he was a kid, he has a coach who told him that he needed to focus on basketball more, and take it more seriously, and he's lived by that and nothing else ever since. He spends most of the movie ignoring the feeling and directly expressed wishes of basically everyone around him. This lead to him alienating his son, who run into the arms of the villain, and inhibiting the Tunes from doing their thing, which is exactly how they won last time. If this movie is to be believed, Lebron James is a bad father who only cares about basketball and doesn't like fun. He even explicitly says that basketball isn't fun: it's work.

Of course, the revelation of the movie comes when he decides to loosen up, but it ends up feeling so hollow. LeBron just isn't that good at being Looney. He looks stiff and goofy, trying to play along with the Tunes, most of which feel off anyway. Elmer Fudd is played more like Mr Magoo than a hunter, and Yosemite Sam seems to only be here so they can repeat that same "shoot the ball" joke from the original movie. Porky Pig also seems wrong somehow. I don't mind him spitting bars, but all the other words out of his mouth don't land right.

And yet, despite all that, I somehow enjoyed it. Maybe it's just residual joy from the original. Maybe I'm a sucker for all the references and meta-jokes. But I still sort of liked it. **But the original was better.**

A very creative alternate to the original. The story line is all original and updated with current times. Lots of great puns and looney jokes. Better than what I expected. However nobody can be Michael Jordan

Pros:
- Kong and the Iron Giant gave eachother a fist bump!
- It featured many characters from Warner Bros.
- Porky Pig roasting Al-G Rhythm in a rap battle
- Gabriel Iglesias and Zendaya provided the voices of Speedy Gonzales and Lola Bunny, respectively
- It was better than the first film
- LeBron James!
- There could a be a possible Space Jam spin off titled Wonder Bunny!

Cons:
- They never showed the Pepe Le Pew scene.
- I was hoping the Tune Squad would play against villains of Warner Bros.; Wicked Witch of the West, Sauron, Pennywise/It, Agent Smith...
- I was expecting a surprise twist, where Al-G Rhythm turns out not to be a bad guy but was actually helping LeBron understand his son more. The writers should've done more.
- Cringing moments

This has to be in the running for turkey of the year. It's such a shameless example of bad storytelling, bad acting, and product placement that they might as well just have given you a goodie bag as you (prematurely) left the cinema replete with your Warner Brothers tattoo. It's centres around the son of LeBron James being kidnapped by an evil AI. The only way he can be rescued is by LBJ and his new bestie "Bugs Bunny" putting together a team that can win a basketball game against team selected by the AI. That's about the height of it - there are no characterisations worthy of note amongst the humans, and though it is quite nice to see some of Warner's cartoon characters on a big screen again, any nostalgia that evokes is soon washed away by the sheer naffness of this whole enterprise. Quite whom this is for is anyone's guess - but it sure wasn't for me...

**An excuse for yet another CGI animated film.**

I think this movie shouldn't have been made the way it was made. The secret to the success of the first “Space Jam” was its originality and the way it combined the drawings and a real basketball star in a movie where he could play a little with himself. Here, what we have disappoints anyone and only serves to raise money for the public without delivering a product that truly meets expectations.

The film's biggest problem is obviously its script: it all starts when LeBron James, a basketball player, turns down a contract with Warner Bros. The contract was crafted by a computer algorithm that has somehow taken on a life and will of its own, and is determined to make itself noticed, even in the worst ways. By imprisoning the sportsman and his son in a digital universe, things get complicated. James will have to play basketball against the live algorithm, and he will ask the only one who might possibly have a good idea for help: Bugs Bunny. It is, as we can see, a basic script, very poorly written and poorly designed, which is not able to properly sustain the film.

I don't want to be mean to LeBron James. He's not an actor, he's not expected to do a great job as an actor. I think he did a lot with what he got, which was pretty bad, but I also think he's not famous enough to support the movie the way Air Jordan did before. Maybe he's famous in the USA! Outside the US, no one knows who he is. Don Cheadle, thus, ends up being the most prominent actor in the film, even if in a Machiavellian and tiresome character. Cedric Joe does what he can, but his character is terrible, and it was very poorly thought out. Self-centered, selfish, vain and resentful of his father, the kid is nasty almost until the end.

Technically, the film bets everything on the CGI of great visual effect and fails completely: if there's one thing that doesn't work well, it is the stylized and tiresome look of this film. I've acquired a special dislike for the computerized versions of Bugs and the rest of Looney Tunes. They are terrible and ugly. There are things that shouldn't be modernized, so they don't lose their essence! In addition, the film has tiresome cinematography and is excessively long, with no script or material to fully justify it. I liked, however, the many tributes that are made to the films of the past of the Warner studio: we have everything from “King Kong” to “Casablanca”, with the passage guaranteed by the “Harry Potter” franchise to “Matrix” and “Mad Max”. It was the part of the movie that I found most sympathetic and honorable, but I still don't recommend this movie.
