Space Jam: A New Legacy - Review (It's Ready Player Dumb)

#SpaceJam2 #MovieReview #HBOMax
There are SPOILERS for this dumb movie. Space Jam: A Lost Legacy is absolute garbage. That is the kindest I can be in the description but I can assure you, I'm less charitable in the video review. Fans of the first Space Jam might find a tad more to enjoy but I just can't imagine anyone over the age of 9 being able to look past the blatant and often shameless product placement and movie-marketing. Space Jam: A New Legacy is the product you get when a marketing team controls the script. This film makes Emoji Movie and Ralph Breaks the Internet seem tame in comparison. I hate this film.

I've watched a few other Space Jam 2 reviews and nothing comes close to this criterion review. SHARE IT AROUND COWARDS!!!

[@dbdeets]

How could you even think your streak of seeing good movies A Quiet Place II, Black Widow would continue. 😜🙈

[@jakendrickwilliams8101]

Clearly people don't agree with you because it is number 1 at the box office so.

[@AdamDoesMovies]

Ah yes, the "It's making money so it must be good" argument. I keep forgetting to do a rant video on that gem of a comment. Thanks for the reminder!

[@jakendrickwilliams8101]

@@AdamDoesMovies that's the only thing that matters at the end of the day and listen dude this movie wasn't for grown ups it was for little kids that's who it is targeted to.

[@AdamDoesMovies]

Right. Little kids that watched IT and A Clockwork Orange. How about that Mad Max Fury Road segment or Austin Powers? Geared for kids, right? It's like you didn't even listen to my review. Imagine sticking up for a studio maximizing their money. This is just sad. Critics should alter their approach according to you. If a movie makes a bunch of money and is #1 at the box office, that means it's good, right? All the Fast & the Furious movies, Transformers films, hell even Twilight must be amongst the greatest movies of all-time. This movie wasn't made for kids. It was made for people that lack imagination and enjoy being fed shit. Eat up.

[@johnwerner69]

So Pepe le pew wasn’t in the movie because he felt rapey but a clockwork orange reference is fine…?

[@adampellett4917]

I know, right? Pepe don't deserve that kind of treatment. He's an individual. I know some of the cartoons that kids can't do that but it's very entertaining for adults. I hope WB gets him back to make an spin off series for HBOMax.

[@MrTrudogg56]

I love this review. The first movie was a classic (I was 3 when it came out.) this movie wasn’t a good kids movie or movie period. Also, the voice actors weren’t even good. It was legitimately all bad. The only thing good that came from that is this review.

[@Horrormaster13]

Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) is not a movie. It's a 2 hour commercial for HBO Max, so it's a complete waste of time. It only gets 1 out of 5 stars from me because of the Looney Tunes characters.

[@cameronschmitt649]

i would watch this film if you told me le bron gave his son away because his son was a failure at basketball. it's dark, but why not.

[@sonlen796]

Did....did Warner Bros honestly think that parents would tolerate a stupid movie like this because in a KIDS MOVIE they referenced a Clockwork Orange? Out of all the cameos I've heard about, that one baffles me the most. Even Pennywise is probably recognizable to some kids.

[@MrSophire]

Pepe was cancelled but Rick and Morty, was cool

[@dbdeets]

Wow, i think i have not seen one favorable review for this movie. And i have a little nostalgia vibe for the first one. That at least is only 80 minutes long plus Credits. And the Soundtrack is still cool. 😎 Somehow i get the feeling that Day and Date strategy with HBOMAX had nothing to do with Covid in the end and more with the films themselves. 🙈 Simply not good enough for the theatre going experience.

[@1992zorro]

Coming back because the suicide line is unavailable. By the way, did you say Dom, like in.... Family? Dom F9?

[@emmet5851]

The face at 19:29 made me spit my coke.

[@DevonRucker]

So Space Jam 2 takes place in the serververse and in Space Jam 2 they mention Space Jam 1 so that means that Space Jam 1 lives within the serverver of Space Jam 2. So Space Jam one would have been a movie within the Space Jam 2 universe. At the end of Space Jam 2 Bugs Bunny becomes real what seems to be the first time in life.

[@OGMillyMillz_]

This movie was straight cringe.

[@Fi_Sci_]

So basically it’s a lot of references to other properties, and the story is serviceable, not masterful or groundbreaking in any way…. Just a story that has a bunch of references.

[@RaNgErs_Rep]

I mean space jam 1 wasent either

[@DominickSpano]

This movie wasn't great at all. It was such an obvious cash grab and it wasn't entertaining. I guess little kids would be entertained by it, but as a grown man, yes it was insulting and aggressively lousy. Kids movies can be great for kids and adults (i.e.: Shrek, Toy Story). Your execution in these reviews get better each time Adam. You do have the name recognition! Lol. Good review.

[@ashleystewart5984]

For the Al-Gorithm

[@Biggiiful]

The original is not a masterpiece but any means...but it has charm and heart. The looney tunes actually have some good jokes, the music is fun, the NBA player cameos are fun, Bill Murray and Stan Podilack are good supporting characters and the plot is ridiculous, but makes sense....and MJ's "acting" was passable. It was just MJ delivering lines like he was on a commercial. Not great, but not cringey. LeBron seems like he's trying and failing to give an acting performance.

[@sp123]

I think the point of the match was Dom trying to impress LeBron with game mechanics and features instead of rigging the game to win in a few moments. If Dom wanted LeBron to lose, he wouldn’t have cheated for him in the end.
