God, I would love a Duck Dodgers movie (either of his old-school or his 2003 incarnation), but it would've been perfect from when Joe Alaskey was still alive.

I'd prefer one of his 2003 incarnation that wears his old school hat on occasion. But you know the Martian Queen would get the axe along with Dodgers' fixation with pretty women...God, I would love a Duck Dodgers movie (either of his old-school or his 2003 incarnation), but it would've been perfect from when Joe Alaskey was still alive.

He also gets his ass kicked, turned into a basketball, and almost gets turned into a slave.

My kids got Space Jam toys in a Happy Meal the other day, so of course we had to torrent both the fucking movies and watch them. I liked the old one better, but my kids like the new one better and were bouncing off the walls like they just ate a bowl of sugar after we watched it, so what the fuck do I know, I guess? I guess they don't like Bill Murray as much as I do.

Not on HBO Max, or any SVOD, actually.
Looking at JustWatch, all it shows for streaming is FreeForm and Spectrum.

It's about Wile E. suing the Acme Corporation.
Never mind there was already a Tiny Toons bit where Calamity Coyote tried the same thing. That was only a couple of minutes. I'm scared to imagine how they'll try to stretch that idea out to two hours.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is, in my opinion, a mediocre film. The plot assumes we'll care about LeBron and his kid. Why though? Neither are enthralling, to me at least. This is the film's biggest issue, alongside it being chalk full of padded run-time. A meh movie is one thing, but a long meh movie is another.
There is some good, I think. The 2D animation is charming enough, and the cameos are fun to spot. And young kids seem to like it, so a possible babysitter for any child-caring folks.
The original Space Jam is not the infallible masterpiece so many proclaim it as. But, the film knows this, it paces better and pushes through the corny or underwhelming parts. Michael Jordan's kids serve their limited part, and MJ himself isn't there to wow you as an actor but to play basketball with cartoons. Silly? Oh yeah, but it makes sense. MJ is a great basketball player, while LeBron is treated like a deity who also happens to play the sport.
Basically, MJ is easier to empathize with and root for. LeBron, not so much. In my opinion, anyway.
One area, to me, with a clear winner is the 1996 soundtrack. So many bangers and, for older individuals, some fuzzy-feeling nostalgia. The sequel? Ehhh...

Just watching that GIF, it's amazing that the green screen has obviously improved since that time, but somehow the actual animation quaity of the toons themselves, the very heart of the movie, is actually better in the original.
Also, oh my God, I just watched this movie because my Mom wanted to see it and the Lebron James dick sucking was absolutely insufferable.

From that first image, I wouldn’t mind a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Mad Max parody. All you would have to do is animate Fury Road in the Loony Toons style, I could see some of the violent scenes translating well in a cartoon format.

The 2D in this film is really mediocre for a cinematic piece, especially when compared to its predecessor. Only time it looks close to the first Space Jam in terms of quality is during the Mad Max (which is the most well done) and the Austin Powers scenes.

If they dare get rid of all the weapons that Wile uses to try to trap Road Runner, while trying to make RR this “oppressed animal that did nothing wrong”, I’m convinced that they were never fans of the Looney Tunes.

It seems to be based on an old The New Yorker piece.

All that talent to try to make Wile to stop being the butt of the joke? @Kari Kamiya might have been on to something. Back In Action looks like Kubrick compared to these upcoming IP’s in the 2020’s.

Holy shit, I was going to make a bad joke saying, "Watch them not make Wile E. sound like the SUPER GENIUS he once was, and give him a generic voice played by Bradley Cooper or something," but then seeing it made by James Gunn may make that a real possibility.

So what is the likelihood this gets "nominated", let alone "win", for a Razzie? My guess it will only get one (like Worst Sequel/Reboot) lest they run the risk of offending King James.

What I wonder is if LeBologna Jamez will some how get the film to be showered in awards, making for another The Last of Us 2 Awards show situation.

I can't believe they seriously reference The Devils.
Also, why would you have The Mask in the movie and not have him say anything? Sssssssssssssssssssmokiiiiiiiiiin!
This confused the hell out of me too, but I noticed the Fast and Furious movies are on HBO Max, so maybe they have some kind of deal with Universal? Or maybe they're teasing a Universal/WB merger to compete with the Disney/Fox merger?
Eventually there's going to be just two rival corporations like Overdrawn At The Memory Bank.
Oh yeah, the soundtrack stinks, I get why they could do anything with the R Kelly song, but why was there no new version of the "it's time to slam now" song?
The Austin Powers scene made my eyes bug out of my head, just so unexpected to see Austin Powers referenced in 2021, this whole movie is feeling like a fever dream, like "did that really happen?"
