  I absolutely loved this movie. It has terriffic animation and has a warm feeling of innocence that modern kids movies dont have anymore and although the central plot seems like something of a marketing scheme by Warner Bros considering what it's about. It's actually funny, cute and very charming. Michael Jordan isn't an actor but he didn't perform as badly in this movie as everyone says he did.

  Space Jam is a good film that anyone can enjoy. This is not a great film, is flawed, but for what it is, it's a film that is simply lots of fun whether you're an adult or a kid. The animation is great, and the plot is really entertaining too. This was one of my favorite films at the time of its release, and there are great comedic elements that really are memorable. Space Jam was very well done, and Michael Jordon wasn't bad here, unlike Shaq in Kazaam. This film strengths relies in the blend of live action and animation. I thought it was great to see the Looney Toons interact in a real life environment. The film at times has its weaknesses, but it succeeds overall at being a good film that is entertaining for the entire family. There are some good comedy bits at work here, and the film manages in being a good comedy. Space Jam is lots of fun from start to finish, and despite its imperfections, it doesn't overshadow the good elements that this film offers. The voice talents that voice the toons are great, and they really bring something to the screen. The film is amusing, and though is not in the same category as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", but for what is, this film is nonetheless a good effort that will provide the viewer with good entertainment. For what it is, Space Jam delivers a fun, entertaining hour and a half. The cast do a good here, and this is what makes Space Jam a pure, enjoyable film that anyone can enjoy.

  One of the most annoying movies I have ever seen in my life. The combination of basketball and Looney Tunes movie is inept on both sides. One of the biggest problems is Michael Jordan, he simply cannot act. Every scene he looks like he'd rather be somewhere else. The rest of the cast offer little solace. Wayne Knight is absolutely annoying because the movie only uses him for petty slapstick comedy. I wonder how the filmmakers got Bill Murray wrapped up in this movie? Bill Murray seemed bored, like he is only doing this movie as a favor to someone else. The second biggest problem: The Looney Tunes are not funny. They are loud, obnoxious, and annoying. Every comedic scene in this movie is overdone by bombastic music or visually distracting cinematography. The movie is basically an hour and thirty minute Nicke commercial, actually this movie was inspired by a Nike commercial.

  At least is better, I think, that Looney Tunes Back in Action.

  This movie takes the same technology used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but has the Looney Tunes characters instead. The humor in this movie is very childish and stupid, but if you're in the mood for that, or a child, you will enjoy this movie anyway. The best actors in this, I think, are the people who aren't the stars, like Wayne Knight. Overall, a pretty good movie, but it could be better.

  i love space jam, the idea of cartoons and humans mingling into one movie is great and its the looney tunes as well which makes this movie awesome purely on that fact. very enjoyable and amusing move that should be given a shot at.

  This movie is the epitome of looney. If the objective was to make the most bizarre kid's movie of the 90s, it succeeded. Not only is it strange to see Looney Toones in the real world, but also to see Michael Jordan in cartoon land. I just have no idea what to make of this semi-autobiographical story, but somehow I did when I was seven.

  Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and the rest of the Looney Tunes call on Michael Jordan to help them win a basketball contest after they're kidnapped by a group of aliens. Jordan agrees and if they lose the basketball game, he agrees to be the aliens' star attraction. "Space Jam" isn't like you might expect it to be. It's not just a movie showcasing Jordan's talents as a basketball player. It is more of a great comedy movie, particularly with the Looney Tunes. Some of the funniest parts are when Sylvester gets shot and Tweety flies through him and says "Holey Putty Tat." Another good one is when one of the men from "Seinfeld" gets blown up like a hot air balloon and then deflates, stinking up the basketball court. Bill Murray also makes an appearance to give Jordan and the Tunes some extra help. If you're a fan of Michael Jordan or if you used to like watching Looney Tunes, this is one movie you've got to see. It'll keep you entertained and laughing throughout the whole movie. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. What can I say, one of my favorite cartoons of all time and my favorite athlete of all time, a deadly combination!

  Not bad, Jordan cant act but the Looney Tunes are pretty cool here. Nice spoof moments and it looks good. The basketball match which is the center piece is actually fun stuff and Bill Murray adds a golden touch.

  I know the movie was cheesy and so Michael Jordan was not the best actor in the world - but who cares? The man was acting with a green screen. The creative mind behind this movie was great. All of our favorite cartoon characters of the past and present (then) coming to earth to abuct our greatest basketball player ever. It was a genious idea and the movie will be remembered for years to come.

  Wow! First time I ever see Michael Jordan appears in his debut movie with the Looney Tunes cartoons. This is the cleverest and funniest animation/live-action capers ever made in the basketball court game.

  Great Movie! Seeing it once again just pumps me up! Although at first glance it looks like a movie dreamed up by a marketing committee, Space Jam actually defies the odds against it to become a dazzling display of family entertainment. There's a kind of demented genius to the idea of casting NBA superstar Michael Jordan in a live-action and animated movie costarring the beloved characters from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes cartoons. They play off each other like seasoned veterans of vaudeville, and Jordan never falls into the kind of awkward, amateurish showmanship that you might expect from a sports idol. He's comfortable in the cartoon land of his costars, who include Bugs Bunny and sexy newcomer Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester & Tweety, Speedy Gonzalez, the Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. They've all been hijacked to an outer-space amusement park run by the Nerdlucks, who strike a Faustian bargain with the Looney heroes: if Bugs and Co. can defeat the Nerdluck "Monstars" in a basketball game, they'll win back their freedom; if they lose, they'll be doomed to stay there forever as enslaved entertainers. So they kidnap Jordan as their coach and "secret weapon" while the nefarious Nerdlucks suck out the basketball skills from such stellar victims as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. It all leads to reckless abandon on the basketball court, and Bill Murray pops in for some hilarious support. Combining traditional animation and computer-generated Nerdlucks with its live-action cast, Space Jam was made in the anarchic spirit of the Looney Tunes cartoons, where anything goes as long as it's funny and off-the-wall. Technically astounding, it's also witty enough to entertain adults and kids alike.
