Why Space Jam 2 is Complete Garbage (Movie Review)

When the first Space Jam movie arrived back in 1996, we all had the same thought. "I hope that twenty years from now we get a soulless cashgrab of a sequel that tosses out everything that made the original work in favor of endlessly promoting unrelated Warner Bros properties." Well, it looks like our wish came true!
Space Jam: A New Legacy is a completely shameless film that hates the audience. Lebron James and Bugs Bunny spend two hours trying to convince you to invest in AT&T Time Warner stock. We visit every stupid franchise imaginable: Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Batman, the list goes on forever. It is an endless nightmare from which there is no escape.
This is Vito's full spoiler movie review of Space Jam 2.
May god have mercy on our souls.

That's the problem people have with what has happened in a CHILDRENS MOVIE as you put it.

[@viscountrainbows6452]

The inclusion of Clockwork Orange is made even more disrespectfully ironic because the author of the original novel hated the film for the liberties it took with his work, especially the ending. But of course, rely on Warner Brothers executives to not even consider such. Also the Looney Tunes can essentially warp reality, so he is willing to nerf his own chances at freedom, and the survival of the Tunes, on his stubborn hatred of gaming? That's our hero?

[@josharchibald4637]

My God. What an unadulterated piece of shit. lmao. Vito, you kill me. I especially liked the ending bit about the Warner Bros. showcase. That tickled. me. Wouldn't it be nice to have an actual movie for once? How long has it been since there's been actual original content from Hollywood?

[@jayjaydeth]

I think the beginning of the end was probably the first block buster. Before that, movies were just a neat thing people went to see sometimes. And then by chance someone made something so good EVERYONE had to go see it. And from that point on, Hollywood has been on an eternal quest, not to recreate that same magic, but rather, to get to that point as quickly and easily as possible with the least amount of risks. Because these here investors don't like risks. It's been a gradual decline and it's only going to get worse.

[@josharchibald4637]

@@jayjaydeth that's largely true I'd say. Though I would quibble some on that point. I think it's investors that are the main problem. If it was just a bunch of creatives sitting around, getting high and chasing magic then that'd be one thing. They'd fall short, but they would make something that was worth it. Something that tried to be magic. Investors, on the other hand, are a bunch of louts with cash who have no idea how the business works and demanding to run the business. "Oh, so my money's good enough for you, but my ideas aren't?" Investors think they because they throw money at a business that they should be part of running the business. It's ludicrous, but people go along with it.

The worst thing about this is that there are now millions of kids who's first memory of A Clockword Orange are from Space Jam 2.

[@justasleebylilguylittlesle1496]

Ready Player One was better than this - and even that still wasn't good. It had plot going on, you at least knew the characters to a degree, and there were reasons that those things existed there. Space Jam 2 was just - look at all these OTHER movies we made that you could be watching instead. I got that sometimes in RPO but, there was a bit more, and it felt less convoluted. Space Jam 2, I wouldn't see again, but if you gave me some popcorn and alcohol, I'd probably be willing to sit and watch RPO again. It's not much at all, of course, but a popcorn movie is a popcorn movie, and Space Jam couldn't even manage that. The only thing was, I wanted to see how it ended, because on the day we watched it, we had to pick someone up from work. We were gonna stop, but at that point we were literally almost at the end and had such little time to do anything else, it was like, "we've gotten this far, might as well" And we were just waiting for Space Jam to play - one of us was a little too optimistic thinking it would play in the last stretch. The rest of us figured it would be in the credits, and then it wasn't. Not even a remix. So we left mad, knowing that we had wasted our time. That was literally the only potentially redeeming thing for it. And they didn't do it. I would have probably even been more neutral towards the whole thing, if they had, just "wasn't good, wasn't terrible, had some funny moments, but I won't watch it again. Like a solid 2/10." Not putting the title song in SPACE JAM 2 is a straight up crime. 0/10. The disrespect is was there, but that is - astounding.

[@justasleebylilguylittlesle1496]

My reason for 2/10 in the original assessment goes entirely to the jokes. Self awareness, and Micheal B Jordan instead of Micheal A Jordan gets a point from me. Friend of mine that Micheal B was disrespectful, but honestly - I'd have thought it more disrespectful if they dragged Micheal A back into this mess. It was just a funny pun, in my opinion. I liked it, but no one else has to. That's my 1 point. Point 2 goes for the classic Looney Tunes gags. I originally wrote 3/10, but decided to take away a point when I remembered that they never included Speedy in the game, who is canonically faster than Road Runner. He had a good starting bit, then got left on the bench the whole game.

[@joekauffman9690]

I’ve stopped going to the movies ages ago, a lot of theses movies have been a disappointment, they are trying to push identity politics, milk franchises, they don’t take time on character development, the writing and that, space jam didn’t need a sequel, it didn’t need one, I can’t stand Leborn James, he’s the same guy that targeted a police officer after saving girl from being stabbed, I rather watch paint dry, wait for a dolphin to show up at the sea or that then watch and be subjected to these terrible movies

[@matane2465]

Remember when Alan Moore took a bunch of literally characters to make The League of extraordinary gentlemen? And it was good. That's how you make this kind of movie.

[@dr.vanhellsing]

Space Jam 2 lost over 100 million dollars 😂 I wonder how much more money will the studio have to lose before they file Chapter 11!

[@iamhungey12345]

Tell me about it, WB have been taking L after L lately. I mean if you look at the stats from the site the-numbers, a good chunk of the list of biggest money losers were WB's DCEU movies as well. At this point Batman is the only thing going for them from the looks of it.

[@bradsmith6613]

“What is this villains motivation?!” Villain is clear about being mad about being rejected by LeBron the whole film…. “I guess he’s just cartoonishly evil then” Me laughing in Looney Toon…

[@DannyPops]

Underrated video here. Thank you for validating all the horrific feelings I had when having to witness this atrocity last week. Also the 18:00 bit about calmly and rationally explaining the stakes the your child had me REELING.

[@Spudcore]

I reckon whoever was writing the scene with Lebron trying to explain the stakes to his son, they were up late and dog tired and actually couldn't think of anything, so they wrote "I don't know what to do!" intending to finish it properly the next day. But then the courier arrived to collect that part of the script before they had time to fix it.

[@markparkinson6947]

5:39 Oh, I understand now! 🤣 I actually thought "AL G Rhythm" was meant to be a reference to "Ali G", the character played by Sacha Baron Cohen, and whom Don Cheadle is a big fan of.

[@HerrDeutschBlood]

You know, for a movie that featured the Looney Tunes, they barely had any impact to the overall plot. You could have had any other characters from Warner Bros seemingly endless library of movie and television franchises and it wouldn’t make too much of a difference to the plot. The only reason why they were put into this movie at all was solely to feed off the success of the first Space Jam. Chuck Jones, one of many lead animators of the Looney Tunes, made it clear from an interview that he wasn’t a fan of how the Looney Tunes were portrayed in the first Space Jam, so I can only imagine how he would react if he had lived long enough to see this train wreck of a film being shown in theaters.

[@Soto-]

Vito had me 🤣🤣 with his approach of "calmly and rationally" telling the son what's at stake if they lose. I would lose my sh*t telling my son what would happen.

Amazing review again Vito!! Can you do the first Tremors movie? Or maybe the last depending on if you want to love or hate something...

[@M.W.K6996]

This movie was a new legacy...and not in a good way. Most of LeBron's acting wasn't believable; the 2D animation looked like there wasn't much effort put into it , so I guess most work went to the CGI animation; the movie needed a much better pacing, so there wasn't any time for much needed character development; there needed to have more adult humor; there were other Looney Tunes that should have been on the team, plus, those who were on the team didn't get nearly enough attention or lines; the Goon Squad should have been comprised of more upgraded avatars of professional basketball players. The ending was also not good. This project wasn't very grounded, and the story felt like it was all over the place. And no, I am not a fan of the redesign of Lola Bunny, as well as them getting rid of Pepé Le Pew. Why is the world do people these days believe that a woman can only be strong if she isn't attractive or sexy? Why do they think that cartoon women shouldn't have breasts or curves (which only makes them resemble a very feminine man)? I seriously fail to see how any of this isn't shaming! And Pepé has done nothing wrong, he's simply a hopeless romantic who comes on too strong. And instead of modernizing him to learn from his mistakes, they just throw him away. The only true descent actor in the movie was Don Cheadle as Al-G Rhythm. However, he definitely needed to be more menacing. There was also no chemistry between Bugs and Lola throughout the movie. The short version: they should have kept Lola's original design; use Marvin the Martian as the referee (again); kept Pepé Le Pew, as well as Penelope Pussycat, and gotten rid of Granny; and had someone else direct this. This was a project that was definitely all about the appearance and not the story. It really makes you appreciate the original much more.

LeBron criticizing his son for being into videogames reminds me of how MY Dad was. Dad refused to buy me an NES back in 1988. My Grandfather said: "Hell no" and bought me one anyway. But instead of trying to push me into basketball, Dad spent 14 years trying to push me into the Military. And when I DID push myself to shoot basketball? My Dad spent the whole time mocking me for it. My school held a pledge where people would promise to pay a certain amount of money per every shot. Dad had so little faith in me that he pledged 2.00 a shot. I made 18 shots, and he owed the school 36 bucks. I never forgot his face.
