Space Jam: A New Legacy is bad and things will only get worse. Avoid this 'unholy, kaleidoscopic hall of IP horrors,' says justbrizigs' review:
, or the majority of the Warner Bros. intellectual properties of yesteryear that proliferate this film. No, I would argue that the audience foris me, one of those who stupidly thought they wanted a sequel like this to happen.. Except this time around, the framework of the first film is recycled and made far more convoluted than it needs to be, and the soundtrack is far worse. The Looney Tunes are CGI-ified, and they exist in a universe that acts like an unholy, kaleidoscopic hall of IP horrors.
Al G. unceremoniously sends LeBron to gather his own team from “the rejects” AKA the Looney Tunes. LeBron becomes acquainted with Bugs Bunny and Tune World, rendered entirely destitute save for that wascally wabbit, after Al G. enticed the other Tunes to leave Bugs in favor of other Warner Bros. worlds.
Bugs and LeBron jack Marvin the Martian’s spaceship to go and retrieve the other Tunes and get LeBron the high-powered, fictional players he desires for his team—however, Bugs is intent on seeing his friends, rather than Superman or King Kong, fight for LeBron. Once LeBron is forced to accept that the Tunes are the only ones willing to back him, he is adamant that they play by his rules.
With improved CGI, mixed-media animated sequences, an unnecessarily saccharine and expanded emotional core, and product placement that would impress Happy Madison productions,is really not much different than the first film, even though the inclusion of the Looney Tunes actually makes far more sense here than the idea that Tune World is underneath a golf course .
But if it was something that could’ve potentially been funny, it was clearly just too smart for the film. There is a total of six credited writers for the screenplay and story, including indie director Terence Nance, who was originally signed on to direct before being replaced by’s Malcolm D. Lee. The story isn’t necessarily awful, but it’s mostly boring, stretching itself out to an unwieldy 115 minutes.
