WAVE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR IF YOU FEEL FINE! WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT INTO OVERTIME WELCOME TO THE SPACEJAM, ITS YOUR CHANCE DO YOUR DANCE AT THE SPACE JAM!!
oh my god, was that BORING!! I loved the looney toons, and the animation, and the interaction between Michael Jordan and the cartoons looked pretty good, but the plot was so simple, i wouldn't be surprised if the writer got advice from his DOG!!
THE MOVIE OF MY CHILDHOOD. Not even kidding. Kayla and I jammed out to the soundtrack like no other. Welcome to the space jam! It's your chance! Do your dance at the space jam.
The movie did'nt have a good story but i did ge5t a few laughs from it like the part when granny unleashed her inner powers during the game and + the part when M.J elongated himself to reach the basket........
So i guess it was o.k not all bad!!
HOw i learned to love this movies, becoz, the kids been watching it for a hundreth time, nice movie, a good lesson imparted, you'll get to love it the 3rd time around
hehe weird. i love the fact that cartoons + movie like who framed rodger rabbit. this doesn't quite work as well but it's still an okay watch. not a total waste of tme. thanks to the toons!
I liked this when I was very young, but now I see the error of my ways. All though Michael Jordan was the perfect person to make an idiot of himself by playing basaektball with a bunch of cartoon characters.
The innumerable Looney Tunes cartoons are just about the most entertaining things ever. However, when you force all of the characters together into one room and make them adhere to a cohesive storyline for ninety minutes...well, that's just something they were never meant to do.
Famed NBA Superstar Michael Jordan has announced his retirement and desire to enter the world of professional baseball. However, unbeknownst to him, he is destined to play one more basketball game where the stakes are more important than an NBA championship -- he must play to save the animated icons, the Looney Tunes from being forced to work for a money-hungry alien (Danny DeVito).
Surprisingly, Jordan gives a pretty good performance for his acting debut -- especially since most of the cast are added in during post-production. Performances from other NBA stars who make appearances are also good. Another good performance is done by DeVito, who isn't in the movie enough i think.
On the other hand, Bill Murray and Wayne Knight put forth disappointing performances. Murray's performance was pretty sarcastic, which he is known to be in his roles, but he just didn't seem to care about his performance this time around. And Knight looked as if he was just trying to act to me and wasn't comfortable -- in my opinion, he is not a great actor.
The animation is pretty unique for Looney Tunes. Unlike the cartoons you've seen on Saturday mornings or the Cartoon Network, this movie tries to make the two-dementional characters appear three-dementional with shadowing on the bodies of the cartoon characters.
One thing that seriously helps the believeability of the interaction between the humans and animated characters is that the animated characters are the humans look as if they are looking at the cartoons. In movies like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the human actors looked as if they were looking at something other than the cartoons. In "Space Jam" you believe that the cartoons and humans are actually looking at each other.
The visuals were amazing. The shadow on the animated characters made them look more realistic than in their normal environment. The colors are rich, and well designed. Even the Looney Tunes look better than they do in their classic cartoons.
One thing that stands out in the visuals department is the basketball arena. Check out the audience in the background as the game is going on and you will see what I mean.
To truly appreciate the visuals, I would suggest that you check out this movie in letterbox format -- especially since the Looney Tunes are shorter than their human co-stars.
There are very few plot holes in the movie, but they are so minor you won't realize they are there unless you see this movie more than once.
The soundtrack is also pretty good, however only two of the songs really stand out.
"Space Jam" is a good movie for the entire family, although children will like it more than the adults.
Mochael Jordon's odd live action crossed with cAartoon hybrid basketball commercial at least has Looney Tunes in it, even if it's a tired Roger Rabbit riff.
very amusing crossover between Looney Toons and underdog sports movie. fun, very cheesy, way over-marketed, but still entertaining and clever enough to hold interest. dreadful acting, but Bugs and the gang are always good for a laugh.
