‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ review: LeBron James film is an abomination

The original 1996 “Space Jam” wasn’t top-notch either, but it made bank in the box office. Twenty-five years later, this one is far worse, even with big stars.

I have not yet watched this movie, but I fully intend to. My guess for the necessary "tragic villain backstory," was that LeBron James is a shitty dad, who neglects his son. His son wants to be a programmer, something he's good at, but LeBron pushes him to play ball, which he hates. So LeBron Jr. created Don Cheadle-Bot 5000 to kidnap him and force his dad to finally pay attention to him, and in doing so, would make LeBron James realize how talented of a coder his son is, and allow to follow his dreams of being a turbo nerd. Also, the Looney Tunes are there for some reason and they have to play basketball against monsters. Maybe the AI Cheadle goes rogue, and instead of simply tweeting racial slurs, he turns the fake kidnapping into a real one? Sounds like that's not what happens at all, and instead of a heartwarming story about the bond between father and son, they went for this abomination. Again, I haven't seen it yet, so if I actually got any of this right, please tell me

The first Space Jam was practically made for me, a kid obsessed with WB cartoons, and I didn't watch it. Never did. I can't think of a single reason why I would watch this version over that. But I do get a lot of vicarious cheap laughs by keeping up with all the cringe and clusterfucks it shits out.

I like how critics aren't even trying to pretend this movie isn't garbage. Kinda refreshing.

The original had the benefit of releasing in an era where everything was extreme and we still had an optimistic view of the world. It never needed a sequel and one releasing today is just being judged as it should be.
 
This may have been the worst film I've ever seen. I hated this film. I loathed it. And I've seen many awful films. The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, Mulan 2020, Virus Shark. I hated this more than all of them. I have never seen a more debased, cynical, and lazy movie.

RLM is supposedly refusing to review it much like the My little Pony movie.

I thought it was always apparent that RLM is selective about what goes in Half in the Bag, preferring movies that personally interest them (even weird niche stuff) rather than flavors of the month.

RLM don't really review kid's movies on Half in the Bag, anyway. The closest they get is reviewing capeshit and Star Wars.
 
Well the problem is Space Jam 2 isn't even a movie. It's the film equivalent of not even being wrong; it has to approach how a movie is made before it can even be judged as a movie.
 
Roger Ebert said it best. Just glad the critics are actually raking this over the coals and being honest for once

 
"YAAAAS! KING SLAY!! KING JAMES! I NEVER DOUBTED YOU FOR A SECOND! I ALWAYS HAD FAITH IN YOU LEBRON MY LORD! WE ARE GOING HOME THANKS TO HIM! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE THE AFRICAN HAMMER! THE CHOSEN ONE! KING JAMES!! I LOVE YOU MY LIEGE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

I don't even get why this movie was made. What audience does it truly have? When the original was released adults and fans of the older cartoons hated it and I'm sure this one is the same for them. Most children today probably don't care much for the Looney Tunes. I'm not saying they don't have any young fans but it's probably smaller than it was 30 years ago. The only people this movie was made for was millennials. Millennial's and maybe some late Gen X's. The problem is that's not a big enough audience for something as big and iconic and Looney Tunes. This movie was made for pure nostalgia 90s reasons.
 
Question:

The movie is called SPACE Jam, right? Does the movie take place in space? It sounds like the entire thing is in a computer/internet world.
