Space Jam: A New Legacy

[Jarrito3002]

I'm not really calling out people who liked the first movie, but considering how people reacted to the reveal of the sequel you'd think the consensus was that the original was a well loved classic, when at the time everyone was already like 'Really? We're doing this?'

The is a well love classic for me to the point I use as a counter argument and place it above other arguably films of high artistic merit just to rustle some jimmies.

And I had ball with all those weird ass cameos while others say cringe I say "THIS IS ART".

Space Jam 2 has its merits that enjoyed so it did not feel like a waste of time plus a rum and dr. pepper made for a good time.

Here you go, best scene in the movie. Saves you the effort of watching the rest of it.

Wait, what? That's a thing from the movie for reals, not someone's random joke?

Ok, that's funny, but I'm laughing at the people who made this film, not with them.

I can understand the first one having a Pulp Fiction reference as a little nod to adults watching with their kids due to there being a, at most, two year difference in release dates and how big a hit Pulp Fiction was.

I could even understand a subtle reference to Fury Road.

But taking actual scenes from Fury Road and The Matrix and doctoring/changing them to add the cast of A New Legacy makes no damn sense whatsoever. I mean, The Matrix is now twenty two years old by now.

Not all of it, mostly its cameos and background characters during the basketball game finale. But yeah, there's a recruiting sequence that's WB stuff with the Looney Tunes inserted into them. Fury Road, The Matrix, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, the DCAU Superman cartoon, and of course, Casablanca. Movie basically felt like a 2 hour $150m ad for HBO max.

Okay I won't lie, that Fury Road thing had me chuckling. And I kind of want to see the rest of the recruiting scenes.
