    The Warner Bros. Universe
    As the second installment of the original film it does leave some doubts, but it is still an entertaining and visually masterful film. Looking at the saga from a certain angle, the original film was not exactly a film about the Looney Tunes, but rather a film in which the antagonist was looking for a new attraction, which in this case was the Looney Tunes, which were chosen for their great popularity and that is why they had a lot of participation in the film. In this second film it goes beyond that, entering the Warner Bros. Universe, not only bringing the Looney Tunes back, but also showing many settings and characters from many films and series created by said company, which for a movie buff like me it's a beautiful thing. Seeing many characters from the films and series that Warner Bros. Produced over the years gathered together in a large audience is simply wonderful. The only flaw was that not all the Looney Tunes were present, which was disappointing, but in this second chapter it is no longer about the Looney Tunes, but about the universe made up of all the spectacular films and series that the company has created. Warner Bros. And I love how they decided to expand on that. Much more could have been done and although it doesn't live up to the original film, it is still a decent and enjoyable film. My rating for this movie is an 8/10.

    Visually stunning but not very interesting
    This remake/reboot of Space Jam tells somewhat the same story of the original 1996 version but more modern to match today's times. The visuals and cgi special effects are about the best thing about the film which makes it look very high quality. The video game design concept was intriguing. Given its very high budget of $150 million, that should be expected (perhaps a mistake given this film such a big budget).

    The story was relatively lacking and not very interesting where it seemed to drag on. The comedy is tame and not funny. Very typical but expected. A lot of WB product placements which seemed to turned people off for some reason.

    The climax was quite anti climatic with the finale basketball game and the ending was predictable. The movie didn't have the same magic and inspirational story like the original.

    This is, without exaggeration, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. My review has nothing to do with my opinion of Lebron - I think he's a very talented basketball player, but this movie just flat out isn't enjoyable for adults - especially if you are planning to watch for nostalgia or as a basketball fan; I strongly recommend that you reconsider. I can't even comprehend these reviews with scores over 5. To put this into perspective: I have never wrote a movie review before, but this film was so insufferable that I felt the need to share my horrible experience with the internet with the hope that anyone who reads this won't make the same mistake that I did.

    Where do I even start; the story line doesn't ever command interest or emotion from the audience at any point of the movie. Worst - most of the ideas don't have enough depth to make sense of... it gives the impression that this script was rushed and scribbled onto a bar napkin at 4am.

    Theres no real logical flow or plot development at any segment. It seems like a chore to watch this movie unfold; it forces itself as a comedy directed at older audiences based on the references (or those familiar with Lebrons history) but with only a few jokes landing throughout the 2 hours.

    The game itself is furthest thing from actual basketball. If you are watching this as a basketball fan you will be cringing during this extended portion of the movie.

    No interactions throughout the entire movie are believable, and worse off, everything that happens is very predictable.

    To give my silver lining: The CGI is impressive, and the theme of the movie could be a positive influence; but neither of these factors are even close to making this movie enjoyable.

    Overall, I feel like I could go on and on about how hard this movie is to get through; especially if I used spoilers and gave specific examples but I will instead, digress; I feel like I've wasted enough time just watching this movie and writing this review. Adults need to avoid this movie at all costs - there is only one space jam movie in my mind.

    Niece liked the sequel more
    She's 11. I like to watch movies with her that I did when I was little. She loved Hook and The Sandlot. We do I pick one, she picks one. She liked Space Jam but liked this one more. I thought it was alright and like all of you went into it with a negative attitude. So it looks like the kids enjoy it and that's all that matters really. I thought it was cool how the fans were other WB properties but sure that was an easy move I get it. Overall enjoyed it and would give it another watch!

    Great Kids Movie
    I thoroughly enjoyed this extremely refreshing non gratuitous family friendly movie. This is the first movie in a long time that did not require me to fast forward past distasteful scenes.

    Don Cheadle was absolutely brilliant as always. Definitely one that I will enjoy with my grandchildren for years to come.
