It is fair to say, with Looney Tunes being one of my most favourite things growing up, I was pretty excited for the second and more high-tech version of a beloved classic. But it was suffocated by so many distractions, what was meant to be an overfilled bag of entertainment, ended up being a bag of bore.

Space Jam: A New Legacy centres around Al G. Rhythm (Don Cheadle) who is the mastermind behind some new technology at Warner Bros. which eventually sucks LeBron James and his son Dom (Cedric Joe) into this crazy universe. Or as he calls it Server-verse. Dom explains to Al G how he created his own game, without realising that Al G steals his code from his game to benefit his conniving plan; to be able to take control of everyone and everything and not be just a piece of tech.

They literally just chucked a whole lot of Warner Bros. films and product placement together, and hoped for the best that somewhere amongst all the hoarding of all those items, a movie will flourish. Because it’s non-stop colour, music, cartoon sounds and humorous commentary, this might be entertaining and fun for the much younger kids that don’t really need a good story to stay entertained. But, unless you’re good for a mind-numbing experience, you’ll be wondering, “how did we get here?” or, “how did that happened?” And my favourite, the classic, “I’m confused.”I had watched the OG version before I jumped onto this one; just to see how I remember it or, to see if I had new feelings for it. It’s almost similar that the lead up to the basketball match is kind of abrupt, and it’s the game itself that’s the best part of it all.

If you’re like me, and analyse every inch of a movie, you’ll yawn while watching Space Jam: A New Legacy, until the last half hour or so. If you’re a kid, you’ll probably think it’s awesome. If you’re someone who doesn’t think and just watches, I guess you fall into the same category as the kids.

Rating: 2/5
