When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way. (SF Studios Fin.)

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.

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.

The return of the legendary cult after 25 years, now with LeBron in the lead role. How could this possibly turn out? To start, I want to point out that I'm not one of those passionate defenders or fans of the original film. Yes, the first one entertained me, but that’s where it ends. The sequel follows a similar spirit. LeBron in the lead role didn’t bother me (what would anyone else have wanted? After all, he’s no actor like Michael Jordan). And the story? Sure, it's a pretty worn-out plot, but I must commend the creators for trying to stay current and choosing AI as the main antagonist. Why not? :) The various pop culture references to many things from the Warner Bros. universe, such as DC, Game of Thrones, The Matrix, etc., were enjoyable. And the final game didn’t disappoint either. So, no disaster here. It’s a laid-back film with everything that comes with it. 6/10. P.S. That cameo was a knockout... the best scene in the film!
