Space Jam - Új kezdet

I yawned quite a lot. The most interesting thing about the new Space Jam was that watching a rapping Porky Pig wasn’t as cringe as seeing the crowd of Warner characters watching the game, played (unless they were animated) by people with pretty bad make-up, and the whole thing felt like one of the worst parodies ever. As for the main cartoon characters, unlike the boring human (anti)heroes, they managed to entertain me, but I was still amazed at the lack of teeth of the writers, who couldn't give those characters, even during the main match, at least one "avengers" scene, where Bugs, Will. E, Daffy and co. would get totally unleashed. A shame? Just a little. (2022.03.27)

My memories of the original Space Jam are very vague, yet I approached the second installment with a certain amount of nostalgic anticipation. Visually, it's a pretty good piece, mixing live action with animation. I also liked the idea of involving different characters across the film studios, even if the artwork itself was cluttered and a bit shoddy at times. The biggest stumbling block, however, was the shallow to silly script, full of familial and boring clichés, and the lacklustre acting – which wasn't even pulled off by the "Michael Jordan" joke. For a single viewing with a brain at half-throttle, Space Jam 2 enough, but I wouldn't reach for this basketball adventure a second time. (2021.07.18)
