Review of Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) by Moviemitch96 — 16 Jul 2021

To be honest... 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.
