What's up, guys? I honestly don't remember if I have ever made a movie review for Vizzed before, so this is probably my first one! With most movies I see, I don't care to think about them much afterwards; I just watch them and then move on with my life. But when I saw the new Space Jam movie yesterday, I realized I have a lot to say about it.

*As I usually do with my game reviews, there will be spoilers.*

For the 3 of you in this world who don't know, Space Jam: A New Legacy is basically a reboot of the Space Jam movie from the 1990's, this time starring LeBron James. It's very different from the original movie that I saw as a kid. I think that's almost always a good thing when reboots stray away from the original in a lot of ways.

The movie starts out with a LeBron James highlight reel. For anyone who's really into basketball, that should be pretty exciting to watch! I don't watch basketball much, but I was still excited to see that. Next, we get a whole lot of Warner Bros. self-promotion, which I started to notice pretty quickly would be a theme throughout the movie.

I found it weird but cool that viewers could see inside Warner Bros's server. However, that ended up being super important for the whole movie. The villain is the Warner Bros server's algorithm. You heard that right: the villain is literally an algorithm. It didn't make that much sense to me in the trailer, and it didn't make much sense to me during the movie either. But yeah, the algorithm ends up taking LeBron's son and being evil and stuff.

I grew up watching WAY too much Looney Tunes, so I was happy to see more of those characters when LeBron got sent to their world. One major difference from the original Space Jam that I liked was that LeBron didn't stay as a normal person the whole time; he became a cartoon in the Looney Tunes world! I've always loved 2D animation the most, so I thought it was cool that people were willing to animate in the original Looney Tunes style for that part of the movie.

I was surprised to see Bugs Bunny being the only Looney Tunes character left in their world. That made me start getting more invested in the storyline. It was funny to me when LeBron wanted to recruit much stronger and smarter picks for the basketball team so they could win and get LeBron's son back, but Bugs just wanted to be with his friends again.

So back to the whole self-promotion thing: Bugs and LeBron fly through several worlds to pick up Bugs's friends, and we end up seeing so many "random" characters. I was glad to keep seeing more Looney Tunes characters appear in the movie, but I don't think they got enough of a focus in this part of the movie. Especially since they were just acting like the other characters in the worlds they were apparently stuck in. I think the other characters not related to Looney Tunes got way too much of a focus.

Once all the Looney Tunes characters were together, I FINALLY got what I came for: some hilarious cartoon-y action. I think that when LeBron (and Daffy Duck) were training the Looney Tunes characters, that was my favorite part of the movie. ...You heard that right. The actual basketball game wasn't my favorite part of the movie.

Fast-forward to the basketball game because I don't have anything to say about the intro to the game with CGI, and CGI, and oh, what's that? CGI... Ahembutyeah, I sighed in disappointment several times during the basketball game. I liked the Monstars from the orignal so much better than the... things that were on the opposing team in this movie. I don't think there was a single likable thing about the opposing team's characters for me. I was just weirded out by them.

I liked that Dom's basketball game ended up being what the players were stuck inside, since it's very different and could end up being interesting. Well, nah. Right away, I could tell that the game wasn't going to make much sense. I actually felt so frustrated because of how stupidly arbitrary the scoring was. It's like the creators of the movie tried to make us feel overwhelmed and hate the bad guys. All it did was make me sigh and wonder when the game was gonna get interesting.

Finally, a long time later, LeBron discovers that he was trying to make the Looney Tunes characters more like him, when he needed to let them... are you ready for this... be themselves! OH, so that's what the lesson of this movie is! Just like 99.9999% of other kids' movies! (Slight exaggeration) That theme came into play when LeBron talked to Dom in the middle of the game, and Dom joined his team. That was sweet, but why did literally everybody do nothing while they were talking? If the rules are so arbitrary, why didn't... uh, anyway...

Oh my gosh FINALLY I got to see more Looney Tunes character action! I started to enjoy the basketball game slightly more when the team was coming back from their... 1000 point deficit (that's why it started getting annoying for me). But don't forget the theme of self-promotion. There were many Warner Bros. characters in the audience. I'm not that old, so I didn't recognize some of them, but oh well. I didn't come to see that

It was such a relief to see the Looney Tunes characters being their best selves again. And then I got disappointed again when they were 1 point behind the opposing team. Ah, classic tension-building... but yeah, they won the game by Bugs sacrificing himself. That was pretty cool, but I imagine a lot of kids were freaking out, thinking that Bugs was actually gonna die. Thankfully, LeBron and his son were reunited, and everyone safely got back to the real world. Including Bugs.

Well, Bugs got teleported to the real world! And so did all the other Looney Tunes characters! Wait, what? The end!

I would rate this movie a 4/10. The effects were cool, the storyline was alright, and there was a little bit of Looney Tunes hilarity in there. It does its job as a modern retelling of the Space Jam story, but making an algorithm a villain might be a little too modern? Thank you for reading this review! I took it way too seriously, so it's way too long. But that was my first movie review after all. I hope you enjoyed reading it!
