Space Jam 2 A New Legacy: Let’s start off with the trailers shall we?

Let’s get this review out of the way shall we? Because I wanna forget about it….

So in this film from the start we are told that LeBron James now hates playing video games because as. Akid he was caught playing a game boy during a basketball game on thr bench and his dad/coach got mad at him for playing a video game and tells him kids don’t play games…so LeBron throws his game away basically saying yeah ur right I hate games….huh? That’s all it took for him to hate games? 1 talk from his coach? Well glad to see we’re off to a great start huh? Pfffttt…..anyways cut to modern day where we see modern day LeBron lives in a mansion, has 2 kids 1 that is younger and there both plying basketball because the younger one is about to go to basketball camp because his dad told him to…yeah LeBron James is one of those parents in this film….oh boy I can already tell we’re just gonna like him huh? Yeah uh no we’re not because his son seems disinterested and LeBron says oh we’re quitting now? Winners don’t quite…..sighhhhh

So the plot of this film kick starts when LeBron and his son get invited to Warner Brothers….yes they get invited to Warner Brothers….sighhh, so they go there were they introduce LeBron James to their new AI computer named Al-G Rhythm….
Get it algorithm? Al-G Rythym…..Jesus I’m starting to think someone who worked on this movie was laughing really hard at this quote-on-quote pun and thought they cracked the code on a good joke…spoiler alert they didn’t…oh and this AI is played by Don Cheadle….seriously? Man how much money did they offer u to be in this movie? U were doing perfectly fine under Disney and marvel….why join this hunk of junk?

So anyways they plan to scan LeBron James and put him into different shows and movies…so Al-G Rythym says you can be anyone you can be LeBron of Thrones (grooooann) LeBron Potter (sighhhhh) or you can be LeBron man…get it because instead of batman it’s LeBron man….ok these puns aren’t even good, in fact, they’re garbage…..hot garbage, anyways LeBron then has like the only good line….he tells WB that this idea is straight up dumb it would never work out…..u go LeBron tells them how dumb this idea is…also does anyone find this being a meta-commentary on Hollywood running out of ideas and would preferably reboot their franchises? Or am I the only one getting that message from this?

Oh I almost forgot to mention that one of the WB executives here is played by Glenn from the Walking Dead….no no no why why why why, why? How much did they offer u dude? U were doing better being in the Walking Dead instead of idk uh here in this crap fest joke of a movie….anyways so LeBron son leaves the room angrily after his dad says he won’t allow him to go to the gaming camp he wants to go too…no instead he must go to basketball camp because he says so….so he follows his son where his son walks into the panel room where there is a portal he walks into yeah very suspicious so then LeBron walks in afterward.

There he meets AL-G Rythym who challenges LeBron to a basketball game and if LeBron loses he and his son will be stuck here forever but if he wins then they can leave….right uh Firstly does anyone else agree that AL-G Rythym’s plan is flimsy? He went from I want to put LeBron James into movies….to Now I want to challenge LeBron to a basketball game, but uh why? Why do you want that? Why is even any of this necessary? Anyways he gets sent to the Loony Toons land because…..just because, I really don’t know….so the plot can progress I guess? Oh and remember how in the first film when Micheal Jordan entered the Looney Toons land, uhh he was live action….well in this film LeBron enters Loony Toons land and he turns animated…because sure why not….anyways he bumps into Bugs Bunny and Bugs Bunny recreates the Big Chungus meme….ohh joy now were recreating memes now aren’t we……this film is killing my sanity and my patience….oh don’t worry this quote on quote film gets worse….

For u see he asks Bugs Bunny for help…he needs a team to play in a basketball game…which then Bugs Bunny does a wink to the audience and says hmmm famous basketball player comes down here and asks us for help in a basketball game? We’re have I seen this before?…..eh eh eh eh eh (starts crying….now sobbing) end my misery now plz…..this is what it’s gotten to….we’re now so meta that the movie is making fun of its Slightly better predecessor……I rather be watching that movie over this one but nope here I am in hell…with this film lolo…

Anyway so they’re plan is to recruit the rest of the Toons well it’s Bugs plan while LeBron actually wants to get superheroes to join his team because he doesn’t think the Toons can help…once again what a prick…..oh and turns out the Toons have all left Loony Toons world they went to other WB franchises because AL-G Rythym convinced them to…..oh boy I have a bad feeling about this…..so they need a way to fly and go to different WB franchises to recruit people to join the team…sighhhh, so they summon Marvin the Martian then they steal his ship awesome and they fly off….and heads up next 5 to 6 min is just Easter Egg the movie now…so they head to DC animated universe sighhh, to recruit Daffy Duck who is trying to become a superhero to join the Justice league….so wanna know how he plans to join them? It’s easy, he causes a train to be in danger with people on it all while he’s being recorded so he can film himself saving the day…..oh boy this could only end horribly and guess who’s recording him? Porky Pig….oh joy

So the plan fails and now LeBron has to help stop the train but the justice league shows up stops thr train but doesn’t seem impressed by Daffy Duck…..yeah understandable, he caused an accident to happen that endangered lives, so Daffy and Porky Pig join the team….then they head out to recruit others….I’m just quickly gonna go through the references they go through

They locate Foghorn Leghorn in Game Of Thrones world dressed up as Daenerys while on a dragon…sighhh and he says “I say winter is coming” 臘

They locate Elmer Fudd and Sylvester the cat in Austin Powers world….kill me now!! Yeah for some reason here Elmer Fudd is Mini-Me for some reason and Sylvester is Dr. Evils cat for some reason…what?

They locate Yosemite Sam in Casablanca…..pfffttt hey kids remember Casablanca? Yeah that old movie!!? What’s that no? Well I don’t blame u!!

They locate Granny and Speedy Gonzalez in The Matrix sighhhh where Granny does the jump in the air slow motion….not like we’ve seen that before, not like thata been memed to death….seriously what’s even this movie? This isn’t a movie this is one giant product placement for Max!!….oh don’t worry it gets so much worse

They then locate Lola Bunny in DC world training to become an Amazon woman by Wonder Woman….sighhhhh end my existence plz, but first she needs to prove herself by going through a course that’s in front of her….

The gang shows up tries to convince her as she’s doing the course, she doesn’t want to join but after she somewhat fails the course…wonder woman tells her she’s an Amazon warrior and she should go help her friends, it’s the noble thing to do…so she joins them….

Anyway back to Al-G Rythym and LeBron’s son…he is guiltily LeBron’s son into feeling bad for him…the whole ohhh no one treats me with respect angle and all that….Jesus, ok great I guess, I dont care let’s just move on…

So the gang are preferring for the game so LeBron is laying out the practice plan on a white board…which I kid u not causes Bugs Bunny to break out into dancing, specifically dancing to ” MC Hammer, Can’t Touch This” sighhhh who’s this movie made for exactly? Can’t be made for this generation they wouldn’t get the reference…..can’t be for adults they’d be cringing at this….can’t be for Looney Tunes fans, they be embarrassed by this….definitely can’t be for Space Jam fans…..and what kid is gonna know what Casa Blanca is?

Prepare ur selves guys, if yall thought what I told u so far was too much for this movie and a bit overboard….u haven’t seen nothing yet, the games have started so they get teleported to the arena that Al G Rythym has built…then he proceeds to suck into the game world all of LeBron James followers…..because sure why not….and here’s where things become too much, the audience comes, guess who the audiences are? No really take a guess because I bet yall can’t …easy a bunch of blatantly merchandising merchandising…

The audience consists of and take a seat u will need it….uhhhh

Every WB IP, u name it they probably are all here!? The hell is even happening anymore? Does this even qualify as a movie? I’m starting to this is one giant advertisement for HBO Max or as it’s called now Max….I swear there has to be an inside joke here, they were probably like, hey kids if u like all the Characters u see here…well come on down and subscribe to HBO Max (sorry Max!) And u can watch all ur favorite movies and shows, u can own these iconic characters on ur phone…so come on down and bring ur parents card with u…

Jeepers this is just gross, this I have no respect for, anyway Al G Rythym lists the stakes he says if they lose LeBron has to stay here forever, then he changes the stakes up to if he loses then all u have to stay in this computer world forever…say what now? Plz tell me how is trapping human beings in a computer world gonna pan out exactly? People in the normal world would get suspicious of there disappearance and look into it….oh and then he days also the toons will be wiped from existence…

I’m sorry what? Why are we just piling on more stakes? We already had enough stakes…the stakes is LeBron needs to get his son back and both leave this computer Hell..why do we need to add on oh the toons will be wiped away if they lose and everyone from the human world in here is gonna be forced to live here forever…this is not necessary…

So then Al G Rythym reveals his team, they are AI generated creature versions of famous basketball players…get it? There basketball ball playes but they’re monsters? Ughhhhh I feel My brain cells dying….anyways LeBron tries to go tell his son that Al G Rythym is evil, but his son doesn’t believe  him and say no Al G is just misunderstood….then LeBron goes back to his wife and tells him idk what to do my son thinks Al G is good…and she tells him to go out there win the game and get out son back….sorry what?

No LeBron this is what u do, u go back over to ur son, level down with him apologize, and then explain the situation that’s gonna happen if LeBron looses….the fate of him and his family plus half of his followers hinder on LeBron winning this game, just explain it to ur son! Don’t go back to ur wife and say uhh idk what to do…also what great advice she gave him, she basically just said yeah go out there and beat our son u got this….

What is wrong with this family!! Are they imbeciles?

BTW on a side note I gotta point out something that’s just doesn’t sit well with me…so the director and WB got rid of a Looney Toons Character named Pepe Le Pew, because and I agree with them because he came off a bit of a rapist…he’d grab and kiss girls without there consent…ok yeah good u got rid of him…ok so what’s the issue yall probably wondering? Well so they got rid of Pepe Le Pew because he’s a rapist? So uh what made them decide to put in and keep the actual rapists from the clock work orange in the background of this film?!

Ah yes let’s get rid of the CHI creature because he’s outdated but by all means let’s keep the rated R movie characters who are actual rapists, in the background of a kids movie…u can’t make this shite up…I think I’m loosing it!

Anyways so during halfway through the game, oh boy I cannot believe I’m saying this but I’m saying it….a rap battle ends up happening 臘…a rap battle during a basketball game, why????  Which leads to the infamous scene…where Daffy Duck hands a microphone to Porky Pig and says to him u got this notorious P.I.G…..sighhhhh notorious P.I.G? Notorious P.I.G!!!? OK I’m getting a headache…this is just stupid, once again why a rap battle during a basketball game? Why notorious P.I.G? why any of it? Oh look so funny he can’t talk without a stutter but when he’s rapping he can talk perfectly..ha ha are u guys laughing at how funny this is…

Because I’m over the hills already at Timbuktu with this film! Lolo!! Anyways so quick thing to mention, in my opinion I think this movie taints the legacy of the movies that have cameos in this movie…because now when I think of Pennywise I’m gonna unfortunately think of the doofus clown standing near the white walkers from Game of Thrones at a basketball game…thanks WB u outdid ur selves again…

So near the end of the game they have a intermission, the Toons are loosing and we get one gag that I did chuckle at….one of the Toons walks in saying I found Michael Jordan, the camera pans up at him and it’s not Michael Jorden it’s Michael B Jordan….oh ha ha, get it? Because there names sound so similar…..lolo

Anyways near the end of the game LeBron’s son joins there side and AL G is loosing so he makes a stupid one liner joke….he says and i wish I was kidding “king Kong, got nothing on me” then we see king Kong behind him scoff at him….sighhhh, LAUGHHH!!

So Al-G Rythym starts cheating, barley…he just takes 200 points out of lebrons score and Al-G Rythym turns himself into a big tough cgi man who can’t be beaten…but he does get defeated when lebrons son mentions the move he crayed for this game but issue is it glitches the game and causes u to be deleted…that if they do it they can beat Al-G Rythym at his game, but LeBron will be deleted out of existence….which LeBron says no its OK I’m not a computer character I think I’ll be alright….bruhhh

Well so much for any tension or suspension, u could have and should have had it so us the audience is hoping the best for LeBron and that he won’t die, because we’re supposed to care about him? U know add tension…but nah why fo they let’s just assure the audience that he be ok….sighh, anyways as LeBron is about to do the move…instead Bugs Bunny grabs the ball does the move and then he starts glitching out then LeBron jumps over Al-G Rythym to do a finisher to put the ball in the net…

Al G Rythym says not fair….then he disappears into the nothingness, everyone gets sent back home…bye bye Cameos u won’t be missed lolo….so anyways Bugs Bunny dies….oh jeepers, she just snaps out ot existence…..just kidding this isn’t the MCU…

Anyways our gang go back to their home, LeBron finally allows his son to go to tech school, heck he takes him there….what a nice dad I guess….and guess who shows up? Bugs Bunny……sighhh, yeah he just shows up somehow in the real world and tells LeBron u didn’t think I was gone did u? In all honesty Bugs I think we all wished u were gone along with this movie……so anyways movie ends with LeBron and Bugs just walking together….and that’s the end…thank goodness finally this nightmare/fever dream is over…

Thanks yall for giving us ur money to go watch this movie, we don’t care if u enjoyed urselfs…bye bye go kill urselfs….so yeah if yall can’t tell I hate this movie, it’s just abysmal…this is barley a movie, this is more like one giant advertisement for Max….and it’s disgusting…I mean if ur gonna make a movie well make a movie….not a glorified 2 hour advertisement for a streaming service….this film doesn’t deserve to be any form related to the first film…..so overall 0/10, skip this movie….hope yall enjoyed this read
