Michael Jordan was actually a good basketball player where as Lebron James has coasted off Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis etc his whole career.
If he didn't form 'super teams' he'd be another Russell Westbrook. A statsheet darling and that's it.
The scene where Michael gets roped by Sam into the hole and Wayne and Bill are just standing there for a beat before the latter asks, "what kind of camera is that?" gets me every time.

They also gave her a nonexistent personality to replace her shallow personality in the first film.
Old jam feels like a commercial, but at least there are many things of substance even if the movie isn't some masterpiece. Nu jam's concept has a lot of potential, but it was bogged down by all the WB shilling.
Speaking of Spanish, I sometimes like to put my tinfoil hat in and believe that the Monstars were meant to be a stand-in for Dragon Ball, kinda looking like Namek saga villains. I say so because of paranoia about Japan taking over the world and in this case aplyimg to animation and entertainment
One was a stupid novelty that hit at the height of MJ being the biggest thing ever in a period where you could be the biggest thing ever, and appealed to a bunch of kids and remained a nostalgic memory. The other is preying on that nostalgia with a celebrity that's over the hill and we don't really do BIGGEST PERSON IN THE WORLD like we used to.
Nothing, it wasn't a good movie
Doesn't even have that SOVL meme shit people bring up
Only difference between the first and the second is that the second is an even bigger soulless cashgrab than the first
>What's going on here? >Why Michael, I thought you'd never ask. You see, these aliens come from outer space, and they wanna make us slaves in their theme park. Eh, what do we care, they're little. So we challenge them to a basketball game. But then they show up and they ain't so little. They're huge! We need to beat these guys. Cause they're talking about slavery! Then they're gonna make us do stand-up comedy, the same jokes every night for all eternity. We're gonna be locked up like wild animals and then trotted out to perform for a bunch of lowbrow, bug-eyed, fat-headed, humor-challenged aliens! Eh, what I'm trying to say is... WE NEED YOUR HELP! >Yeah, but I'm a baseball player now >Right, and I'm only a shakespearean actor
As shitty as the first movie was, it was made when both Micheal Jordan and Looney Tunes were the biggest things ever. There are at least some funny moments within
Space Jam 2 on the other hand wants to hinge on the nostalgia of the first movie but can't commit. A solid section is just them dicking around in other WB properties and sadly those may be the most interesting parts of the movie considering the rest is retreading old space jam ground, from the central conflict of sportsball man not wanting the Looney Tunes to do their zany bullshit to the fact it's fricking basketball again. Not soccer, football, racing, baseball, hockey, chess, professional CSGO but the one sport that there already was a movie of.
The film was far less funny than the first with the only real solid jokes being the idea you can summon Marvin at any time by claiming a place for the Earth and some of Coyote scenes.
I'd much rather live in the universe where Coyote vs Acme hit theaters and this film got axed. It's lasting legacy is going to be LeBron James being a character in Multiversus and its status as one of the biggest flops of all time.

Wayne Knight

Lola Bunny was hot.
In what way?
She was a doll.
How many of her do you have?
I mentioned this in the tv thread but Jordan's natural charisma made up for his limited acting ability.
also this.

>successful
All of those were financial flops except for Space Jam.
Except for quest for camelot, i think those films that aren't space jam are underrated.
It didn't
Charles Barkley was in it.
Bnnuy
I don’t see the appeal of anthropomorphic characters.
That's fine, not everyone has to like everything.
imagine if she were human
Imagine if you were dead.

the strongest toons in Looney Tunes, Los Monstars

This novelist from Cambridge University should've been a writer on more animated movies.
What went right most of all was the video game.
Not much, it was a shitty movie and Chuck Jones was right to hate it since it was just an advertisement for MJ with cameos by the Looney Tunes
I think Back in Action is better
That's because Back in Action is actually a Looney Tunes movie.
>B-Ball at it's peak cultural relevance
>Most famous Ball to ever live
>Outstanding soundtrack

you were like 9 or younger when you first watched it

it was my Roger Rabbit. as a kid it was mind blowing to see real people and cartoons in a movie. I don't even care about Jordan.

THE FIRST ONE WAS JUST A FUN MOVIE
THE SECOND ONE WAS JUST AN EXCUSE TO SHILL WB STREAMING SERICES AND PRODUCTS.
Jones an obsession a burning desire

Middle finger.
