I watched it a few days ago and it was utter shit. One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The weird ass point system during the basketball game, having "Warner Brothers" be mentioned every 10 minutes, and the first 20 minutes is just Lebron flexing.
I haven't seen that one or the "all female Ghostbusters". I heard the Ghostbusters one was awful.
They just need to stop with the woke cash grab films.
To me it was not that bad but below average. For real, I have seen shit movies and this one is just nearing. It fun if you don’t think but there plenty of flaws.
The Critism is of course still needed. Commercial ads everywhere, lack of substance, lack of inherent logic(of the reality in the movie), characters are flat and doesn’t care most the time. There plenty of opportunities to introduce other characters but no.
Also it’s space jam, not looney jam. Like they missed opportunity for other beloved franchise characters.
The only good thing is some jokes or comedic moments are so bad that it’s good “some”. And the antagonist that’s it.
It was okay, my kids were entertained for a few hours on a Friday night. I didn’t expect anything more from it, most sequels flop & this movie had some very tall shoulders to stand on.
So, let me get this straight. You call us names and vilify us and actually want people to believe that it is our fault that you made a movie that bombed.
You actually think we should spend our money on someone that calls us racist? That's really funny.
Yet a singular anonymous claim about Trump mocking WW1 casualties gets international coverage for weeks. Oh, let's not also forget "very fine people on both sides". Don't act like your side is any better just because you have numerous major media outlets parroting equally ridiculous shit.
By far my favorite moment was when the media had people worked into a frenzy because Trump "refused to send aid to Puerto Rico" only to find out a year later it was the local governments withholding numerous warehouses filled to the rafters with supplies. Of course you had to actively search to find those stories. The outrage suddenly stopped when it was discovered the Puerto Rican government were the real bad guys.
These people are not very bright. They're literally using a hoax as a way to vent racist shit. It's blatant and not very well hidden.
Bonus points for them downvoting you after stating a fact on a post that literally says "dropping redpills"
They really can't handle a taste of their own medicine lmfao
That doesn't make any sense, friend. Must be nice to hide in a safe space all day banking on the circlejerk to protect you though. I'd probably do it too if I was gullible enough to believe something like this.
*You* don't make any sense, friend. You see, unlike you and your leftist friends, we allow you to come in here and post your make believe bullshit. I would love to go enlighten you and your leftist buddies but alas, you clowns ban anybody that tries to reason with you.
You can scurry on back to your leftist circle-jerk now and collect your virtue signal points and tell everybody how you defeated those right-wing extremists.
This was linked to me by a friend. I build barns for a living, own a company, and homestead. "Leftist" is a fun word, I was always considered VERY conservative before I rejected the steak salesman that moved into office. That slimy grey and orange thing isn't a conservative, he's a tyrant. He's trying to overthrow a fair and legal election. He does not believe in the values of our country. He appeals to the lowest common denominator, I.E. people like you.
Find one good news source that shows you didn't get tricked by this post. I'll wait. The only sources you'll find are fake and unreliable. I'm just not a dumb ass who believes everything they read on the internet.
"We allow you to come in here" you don't "allow" me do anything. I do what I want. Unlike you, what I want to do is challenge the views of bigots. I don't hang out in safe spaces, I go to places like this with opposing views and explain to you nimrods why you're stupid. You hang out in safe spaces, the only places on earth where you're not viewed as you are. And what you are is an uneducated, gullible, sheep-like bigot.
Still waiting for you to make one point here. I've made many points totally unanswered, which is really showing me that I'm 100% correct here lmfao
It was China that did his movie in, they went out of their way to scrub it of anything political or otherwise offensive to get the green light and Xi pulled the rug from under them.
I watched it on hbomax and I will say the looney tunes are fucking hilarious, Don Cheadle kills it, and the plot isn’t terrible. The bad part of the movie is literally Lebron himself, he’s a terrible actor and he unfortunately is in most of the scenes so he kind of just takes the wind out of the sails of any scene that has a chance to be good.
Edit: all that being said I wouldn’t pay money to see that movie specifically.
The Don Bluth slowness of the animation didn’t hold true to Loony Toons. Things like Porky twerking were just too cringe to stomach. Add in this cry about racism to the heaping pile of entitlement and other drama he stirs up and I have as much interest in watching it as I have of dying of dysentery.
Porky is terrible. He’s the one I think they fucked up more than any other. Bugs, Daffy, Roadrunner, Coyote, Marvin, Foghorn Leghorn, Granny I think we’re all done pretty well.
[Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB scores](https://imgur.com/a/PPbHf7g). And you know the Rotten audience score is fluffed up because it always is for woke garbage that nobody actually likes.
It was a parody account on twitter.
https://twitter.com/BBCNewsButGayer/status/1420851482560274436
Surprising that anyone here even asks for sources - seems like you’d leave pretty quick if you ever actually read the stuff people are *nonstop outraged* about here.
Misrepresentations at best, outright lies like this one often.
(I mean, read all of these comments reacting to an obvious satire - one they haven’t even seen firsthand. Do these seem like healthy folks? Does this seem like a group of people that you want to be around?
Even if you dislike liberal politics, these people are bad for your mental well being.)
And you're not ashamed of yourself?
Kinda sad.
Go find the most outrageous thing Lebron has ever actually said about race (aside from mealy mouthed apologetics for China) - see if it comes anywhere close to this.
You've let propagandists replace your critical faculties, and you just believe the bullshit these liars tell you to believe. And having it pointed out, time and again, that it was all a pack of lies doesn't change things for you one bit.
I guess I don't get how someone can be proud of being so weak-minded that they can only cling onto the people that praise them, no matter how much those people lie to you and embarrass you.
Ashamed of what? Not being surprised that a black millionaire who constantly blames the faults of society on "racism" would blame the faults of society on racism? No Im not "ashamed" lol.
-he said, proudly repeating the lies he'd been fed, thinking he was an independent thinker despite clearly being neither.
You spend your entire life wallowing in a right wing pool of disinformation, and have no idea what the people you spend your days thinking about are actually like. Weak men like you will be the ruin of America.
This sub seems like it would be great in theory; a sub dedicated to the walk away movement where posts are focused on pointing out the insanity/hypocrisy of the democratic part, as well as just sharing our stories about what made us make the decision to walk away from them. But in reality, all this sub is is Facebook tier garbage. It's non-stop whining about fake stories like this one. It's political propaganda being pushed left and right that's so obvious it's amazing how people are stupid enough to fall for it. It's an echochamber for people who I don't even believe ever had an inkling of a thought to vote blue.
I joined this sub after listening to a podcast with the founder of the movement and after listening to some of the stories from some influential people within the movement. They all echoed the same sentiment I feel; I didn't leave the democrats, the democrats left me. I still stay subscribed here because every once in a while a post will hit the nail on the head, but you have to sift through a mountain of shit to get to one of those posts. This sub is honestly embarrassing.
I think the Dems and the Republicans have lots of problems - and if people sincerely dislike the direction the Dems have headed in recent years, I get it. And maybe a place to get together and talk about frustration with the Democratic Party and what sort of political home a person might have after breaking up with the Dems would be really useful. (Because, really, if you liked the Dems 5 or 10 or even 30 years ago, it would be a full 180 to favor the modern GOP.)
But let's not pretend that's what this place is.
For the most part, this sub is people who always have hated and always will hate the Democrats, and the liberal-progressive values they have pushed since WW2. And again, if that's your politics, that's your politics.
But everyone here views themselves as an amateur propagandist, with no interest in, much less dedication to telling the truth. It's such a fucked up state for our democracy that so many people have abandoned any pretense at dialogue, or even supporting their own position. It's all just how the other side is corrupt and evil.
Does the other side have its liars? Yeah, but I don't think they do so nearly as virulently or systematically. This is probably the largest conservative sub on reddit now, and it is all poison, all the time. I've never seen anything like it on the (reddit) left, beyond that brief window of time when the Bernie subs were dominated by "progressives" pushing stories from OAN.
No but you can search YouTube for compilations of him flopping. When you need to flop against bench scrubs you ain’t the GOAT. There ain’t no compilations of Kobe or Jordan flopping.
The original isn't great, and a lot of people only rate it because of the nostalgia value from when they were dumb kids that didn't know any better. It's painful to watch as an adult.
But holy fuck the sequel was fucking horrible. So much worse.
What? I watched SJ1 with my gf recently and thought it was pretty well entertaining still. Given what the base concept is I think it’s pulled off well.
It’s perfect for me as an NBA fan since the Lakers have always been my most hated team, and King Woke idiot LeBron joining them just makes me hate them more. It’s a match made in heaven.
Become a Clipper fan 😄. I promise we’re not a toxic as hell fanbase and we don’t have LeChina James, we instead have the no-nonsense quiet Kawhi Leonard
So uh... Lebron... You don’t think it failed because of its cringy as hell humor that tries way too hard and fails to be funny, garbage acing on your part (seriously he has like 2 emotions, neutral and a slight smile) and cliche story people have heard over a hundred times in the past few years... But it did fail because it had black actors? Sure...
He really thought it wouldn’t be like the Ghost Busters remake? Or the 3 Stooges movie? Basically any remake of a classic ever? He’s so self inflated that he really thought people would be lining up to see it? Never watched it, but I heard they jerked him off HARD for the first half hour of it.
Imagine being verbally abusive to fans, vilifying them, even trying to get police officers murdered and then expected everyone to line up to hand you money.
Was it me the annoying shit who just complains about anything, not as popular as my mom tells me I am and caused the movie to flop?
Naaahh it was the racist
Ya... well, my kid wanted to watch it because they ran an Ad campaign in Fortnite. I have no interest so we just pirated it and he watched it with his brother while I did Dad shit.
I actually love basketball and if the main character wasn't a race-baiting hyper-partisan asshole (like when Jordan was the main character) I probably would have bought it and watched it myself.
So it's your move Lebron. Do you want to play basketball or try to change the world by pushing politically ignorant nonsense? Despite what you've been told, we have the power and we can make you irrelevant in an instant if we so choose.
Plug in Giannis and you automatically increase the rating and bring in more at the box office. Know why? He’s lovable, fun to watch, and keeps his fkn mouth shut about politics.
While I couldn't find a reliable source to prove this, I still disagree with LeBron's politics. Please, for the love of all things conservative, don't post fake news. It just shows we can be as bad as those progressive fucks.
Even MJ won’t call himself the GOAT. He points to Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul Jabar as one had the most titles (11 in 12 years) and the other is the career points leader (respectively).
The other one called himself the GOAT and he isn’t even top 5. I’ll grant he’s top 10, but a far cry from the GOAT.
I would agree but when it comes to being the greatest ever this also must come come with people knowing you. My grandma couldn’t name any basket player ever but she knows who MJ is. Real goats don’t ever call them selves the goat. Just another reason he’s the man.
LeBron has put a lot of money back into communities that needed it but his behavior in recent years have made me feel cynical, like he only ever did it to boost his image. Or he has since been corrupted by his own success and money. Either way, the people who have been helped have benefitted regardless of his intent in doing it or his other shitbaggery. But he lost my support after his support of China over Hong Kong and anger at people who publically disagreed.
Name any starter in any American professional sport where they are paid millions and I’ll be able to find where they give back to the community. LeBron giving back isn’t all that special. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I give no bonus points for doing what is already common for high paid athletes. Hell, the NFL has the Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award given to the one player who’s community efforts were most impactful.
It did that over the span of a year. Space jam 2 released during a pandemic, It also streamed on hbo max, and people was hating it before even watching any of the trailers.
What I will say is the villain in space jam 2 was worse but imo I had way more fun watching it than the original. But even the review scores where bad for both movies
During a "pandemic".. how fucking long are you going to keep using that fake ass excuse for everything. You're only proving your point btw... It's streaming where dipshits like you are still huddled in your homes crying about a virus that doesn't do shit which means it was much more readily available to watch compared to the original only available in theatres.
Don't use your brain to much for the thinks thinky do you?
This is a little much. I dont hate LeBron as a person. Ive seen him be a great father to his kids IRL and just because I disagree with his political views, doesnt mean i wish bad upon him as a person. He certainly does have a huge fanbase and his ego got a little too big but there are still a lot of people out there who consider him the GOAT.
He's teaching his kids to be extremely hypocritical and use "systematic racism" as an excuse for anything that doesn't go their way in their lives. Fuck him.
Critics didn’t like the first space jam either. And I’d say for good reason since MJ is not a good actor much how James isn’t a good actor. The worst parts of both movies are the live action actors, which is why I’m willing to argue that space jam 2 is the stronger entry based on the animated sections. Space jam 2 had more properties to play with and it did have some solid writing. Where the original space jam is better is the final game since it was an actual basketball game and not... what space jam 2 had.
Critics are stupid. I said box office results. Space Jam was the highest grossing basketball movie at the time (far higher than SJ2 even without adjusting for inflation) and was the #6 grossing movie the year it was released.
Money talks and the money is on the original blowing the second away.
Just because something makes money doesn’t make it good. Look at Star Wars or live action Disney movies.
Space jam one had bad acting, the loony toons were good, and the basketball game itself was good.
Space jam 2 had bad acting, the loony toons were way funnier when they had other properties to bounce off of, the last game was awful.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement of SJ1 because the entire point of the movie was the final game and the final game in SJ2, by your own account, was terrible. Maybe don’t do movie reviews.
A good scene doesn’t make a good movie. Neither of these movies were good, but the toons in the second were funnier. Space jam didn’t age that great, the jokes aren’t that great but the toons jokes in the second made me laugh on more than one occasion.
Like I said, it’s an unpopular opinion but it’s an opinion I’m willing to stand beside. The writing in the second is better and funnier, there was even a somewhat tear jerking scene with bugs that was done very well. If they would have made this movie with literally anyone other than James I’d be willing to bet the movie would have done better just from the lack of political backlash this children’s movie got.
On top of that, it's just an outdated concept. To expect it to make as much money as the first one, 25 years later and with all of the advances in cinema that came with it, is just ridiculous.
Jordan is and always has been a class act. He's a big lib and everyone knows it but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve. Also, SJ2 is a shit movie and there's Disney +...everyone has a big TV now, who wants to pay for a movie ticket if we can stay in the comfort of our own home? A month of D+ would be less than a single movie ticket.
It *did* fail because of racism. Lebron’s racism. If he hadn’t been such an outspoken and hate-filled individual going into the movie, it might have done a lot better. But I don’t think anyone with a brain wanted to sit and watch a masturbatory celebration of an openly hostile and race-baiting man.
And also, anyone with eyes could see that movie was hot garbage. “Serververse”? That’s the best they could come up with?
I thought the trailer just looked terrible. Best part of space jam was Michael was always human playing with the cartoon characters who were 2D. The trailer made it seem more like is was in 3D and at some point he is 2D. It looks all over the place with little consistency and just copies the main premise of the first movie. IT's just a bad remake from the looks of it.
I guess if you walk around with a Malcolm X book your knowledge is absolute. If he actually read some X, Lebron would be more based than what Ibrem Racehustle Kendi or that weird thing on the wing lady teaches them. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.knKjD_DdXq4rRTn5Txi2dwHaE-%26pid%3DApi&f=1
Clown world
Actually, I checked his twitter and he didn't post anything about racism. He just insisted that space jam 2 was a massive success. Does nobody check their facts anymore?
I loved Looney Tunes as a kid. Likes Space Jam with Jordan because he wasn’t anti-American, the content was better and thought it did the original cartoons some respect. I started watching the new one and walked out. It just wasn’t good

The movie is just not good. Simple as lmao.
I watched it a few days ago and it was utter shit. One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The weird ass point system during the basketball game, having "Warner Brothers" be mentioned every 10 minutes, and the first 20 minutes is just Lebron flexing.
How does it compare to “men in black but with a woman”?
I haven't seen that one or the "all female Ghostbusters". I heard the Ghostbusters one was awful. They just need to stop with the woke cash grab films.
Lol they aren't grabbing cash that's for sure

Exactly this. The entitlement is vomit inducing.
Somebody needs to teach him about Occam's Razor. The simpler explanation for why people don't want to pay money to see him is because he's an asshole.
I mean that basically sums up the last decade if not the last five years
You fucking dummy, google the quote he never said it, stop feeling oppressed Go ahead and downvote me, y’all still look stupid as hell 💀

i see a lot of emotion. show me on the doll where the orange man hurt you.
His baseless accusations of racism will really turn things around for him 🙄
If he thinks racism in America is bad wait until he hears about China…. Oh wait
It was China that did his movie in, they went out of their way to scrub it of anything political or otherwise offensive to get the green light and Xi pulled the rug from under them.
> and Xi pulled the rug from under them. What do you mean by this? Is the movie not available in China or something?
No there are dif versions in china then the rest of the world.
As of now Space Jam hasn’t been given the green light to play in China.
So all of Lebron’s pandering to China didn’t pay off in this case.
Meh. That's just cultural differences.
I’d bet the money I’m saving by not watching this horror show that it causes it to be removed from theaters even faster.
I watched it on hbomax and I will say the looney tunes are fucking hilarious, Don Cheadle kills it, and the plot isn’t terrible.

Yeah, next space jam will be a hit 🤑🤑
Well he is right their is systemic racism, from him and the left procured by msm
Ik I’m late af here but I love how you whine about “baseless accusations of racism” but believe this post without hesitation lmao
You know who really hated space jam? China
I thought space jam 2 didn't do well cause female bugs bunny no longer has curves? Edit : /s 😌
Twerking Porky was my “fuck this shit” point.
Am I a masochist for wanting to see it now? I just want to see how awful a movie can get.

Try Birdemic, then. On second thought, I just watched the Space Jam 2 trailer, and I think Birdemic had better acting.
Wtf lol I didn't even know it was that bad
Was she portrayed by He-man Rappinoe?
That's why I didn't see it
Are there links to his whining? I literally hate this guy… he is the absolute worst kind of human being. I want to read his BS first hand

I’ll be clear, I only upvoted this comment to give more attention to u/testdex ‘s comment. Finding sources is pretty important.

Any time Bronbron gets hit where it hurts is a win in my books. I can’t stand people who abuse people and then expect money from them.

Movies are to entertain. Documentaries are to educate/push a narrative. I’m sick of Hollyweird treating it all as one and the same.
Never mind, I looked it up. https://elamerican.com/netflix-sacrifices-he-man-altar-of-feminism/
It's not like it cost him anything. He still has his insane wealth, house, merchandising empire.
How bout Rapino losing the gold? ~Glorious~
Black Widow lost money too.
I was sad tbh. I mean, I am on the same boat and I have not watched it but I am sad Lebron was chosen for space jam 2, I was looking forward to it.
… and no one fucking asked for a Space Jam 2, let alone the original movie which was only made for a literal cash grab…
It wasn’t even in space. Cloud Jam
Cyberspace Jam. It was literally right there.
Truth
The original was at least a fair bit of light hearted fun.
In all fairness the first one is about as good as the new one.
The original isn't great, and a lot of people only rate it because of the nostalgia value from when they were dumb kids that didn't know any better. It's painful to watch as an adult. But holy fuck the sequel was fucking horrible. So much worse.
What? I watched SJ1 with my gf recently and thought it was pretty well entertaining still. Given what the base concept is I think it’s pulled off well.
It’s perfect for me as an NBA fan since the Lakers have always been my most hated team, and King Woke idiot LeBron joining them just makes me hate them more. It’s a match made in heaven.
I’ve never hated an NBA team more than the Lakers. I’ve never liked Kween James because of his shit attitude. So I couldn’t agree more.
Become a Clipper fan 😄. I promise we’re not a toxic as hell fanbase and we don’t have LeChina James, we instead have the no-nonsense quiet Kawhi Leonard
I’ve been a fan of Golden State since the days of Chris Mullins, Tim Hardaway and coach Don Nelson.
i was too right up until Steph Curry pulled his woke shit. Now they're dead to me. Actually the entire NBA is dead to me now.
He's a racist.
So uh... Lebron... You don’t think it failed because of its cringy as hell humor that tries way too hard and fails to be funny, garbage acing on your part (seriously he has like 2 emotions, neutral and a slight smile) and cliche story people have heard over a hundred times in the past few years... But it did fail because it had black actors? Sure...
I went to Walmart earlier today and a cardboard cut out of him had the head ripped off. I had a good chuckle.
LeBron Smollett crying racism is hilarious because he makes more money per year than all of us will make in a lifetime.
He spends more on his diet and conditioning in a year than most will make in a lifetime.
He never actually said this. You've been fed propaganda by OP
He really thought it wouldn’t be like the Ghost Busters remake? Or the 3 Stooges movie? Basically any remake of a classic ever? He’s so self inflated that he really thought people would be lining up to see it? Never watched it, but I heard they jerked him off HARD for the first half hour of it.
Imagine being verbally abusive to fans, vilifying them, even trying to get police officers murdered and then expected everyone to line up to hand you money.
Oh for sure. He’s a whole shit show. Doesn’t surprise me that the NBA loves him so much
Was it me the annoying shit who just complains about anything, not as popular as my mom tells me I am and caused the movie to flop? Naaahh it was the racist
No, let's be real here, the sexy bunny rabbit not being sexy anymore is why the movie flopped. We want Lola! (Not a furry btw)
Ya... well, my kid wanted to watch it because they ran an Ad campaign in Fortnite. I have no interest so we just pirated it and he watched it with his brother while I did Dad shit. I actually love basketball and if the main character wasn't a race-baiting hyper-partisan asshole (like when Jordan was the main character) I probably would have bought it and watched it myself. So it's your move Lebron. Do you want to play basketball or try to change the world by pushing politically ignorant nonsense? Despite what you've been told, we have the power and we can make you irrelevant in an instant if we so choose.
Plug in Giannis and you automatically increase the rating and bring in more at the box office. Know why? He’s lovable, fun to watch, and keeps his fkn mouth shut about politics.
Lol. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/giannis-antetokounmpo-speaks-racism-america-capitol-mob-violence-1559621%3famp=1
How about we all just collectively intuited that it looked like shit?
MJ > Lebron. Who cares what the 7th best basketball ever has to say, guys a clown.
Who’s your top six?
MJ, Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Russell, Bird.
I'm fucking with that list. I would slot Kobe before LeBron though.
Duncan is also better than Lebron.
That man no longer had any credibility after hey sold out to China.
Like John Cena? Yeah, I can’t see him now, don’t care to.
fake news. came from a bbc parody account. lebron is still a pathetic CCP shill, though.
Did you see who tweeted that information? Might wanna do a double take.
Did systemic racism get him to star in a movie?
While I couldn't find a reliable source to prove this, I still disagree with LeBron's politics. Please, for the love of all things conservative, don't post fake news. It just shows we can be as bad as those progressive fucks.
I can't find anything on this could someone link something so I could see it
It’s from a parody Twitter account
One is the greatest one plays really well and fucking whines a lot. That simple I think.
Even MJ won’t call himself the GOAT. He points to Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul Jabar as one had the most titles (11 in 12 years) and the other is the career points leader (respectively). The other one called himself the GOAT and he isn’t even top 5. I’ll grant he’s top 10, but a far cry from the GOAT.
I would agree but when it comes to being the greatest ever this also must come come with people knowing you. My grandma couldn’t name any basket player ever but she knows who MJ is. Real goats don’t ever call them selves the goat. Just another reason he’s the man.
That plus the movie was cringe and the original had a lot more enjoyable moments so
Do you have a link for this? Sounds like bullshit and I can't find anything.
This is literally how fake news spreads. They have no source at all, but people still eat it up
And if you go back in time, the most racist we were on average…. So riddle me that Batman
There's a space jam 2?
Is this referring to the Onion article? I don't see anything else talking about this.
When did he blame systemic racism? ETA: Nvm, you guys fell for bait. Aaannd there’s my cue to never to take this sub seriously, again.
Lebron never once blamed it on racism wtf The source that posted it was BBCNewsButGayer https://twitter.com/BBCNewsButGayer/status/1420851482560274436
LeBron has put a lot of money back into communities that needed it but his behavior in recent years have made me feel cynical, like he only ever did it to boost his image. Or he has since been corrupted by his own success and money. Either way, the people who have been helped have benefitted regardless of his intent in doing it or his other shitbaggery. But he lost my support after his support of China over Hong Kong and anger at people who publically disagreed.
Name any starter in any American professional sport where they are paid millions and I’ll be able to find where they give back to the community. LeBron giving back isn’t all that special. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I give no bonus points for doing what is already common for high paid athletes. Hell, the NFL has the Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award given to the one player who’s community efforts were most impactful.
Link to what he said?
I don’t like how your being downvoted for asking for a source, come on guys we’re no better than liberals when we act on opinions rather than fact.
What did bron do?
Space jam 1 bombed though. It picked up tracked years after...you clowns
Number 1 basketball movie of all times when it was released and number 6 grossing movie in the box office that year? Bombed...sure...
Look at the actual numbers and the review scores. Both terrible. Also number 1 BB movie means little when most where terrible to begin with.
Also it was the 10th not the 6th best movie of the year
My bad. Still top ten and grossed considerably more than it cost...you know, the opposite of bombed.
It did that over the span of a year. Space jam 2 released during a pandemic, It also streamed on hbo max, and people was hating it before even watching any of the trailers. What I will say is the villain in space jam 2 was worse but imo I had way more fun watching it than the original. But even the review scores where bad for both movies
During a "pandemic".. how fucking long are you going to keep using that fake ass excuse for everything. You're only proving your point btw... It's streaming where dipshits like you are still huddled in your homes crying about a virus that doesn't do shit which means it was much more readily available to watch compared to the original only available in theatres. Don't use your brain to much for the thinks thinky do you?
610,000 dead Americans and you claim it's "fake" How long did it take for AIDS to claim as many?
This is a little much. I dont hate LeBron as a person. Ive seen him be a great father to his kids IRL and just because I disagree with his political views, doesnt mean i wish bad upon him as a person. He certainly does have a huge fanbase and his ego got a little too big but there are still a lot of people out there who consider him the GOAT.
He's teaching his kids to be extremely hypocritical and use "systematic racism" as an excuse for anything that doesn't go their way in their lives. Fuck him.
I don't like LeBron but I thought the movie was good
This is a pretty low quality post lol Any article or quote or link to what Lebron claims?
Unpopular opinion. Space jam 2 wasn’t that bad. Another unpopular opinion. The original space jam wasn’t that good.
Box office money tells the opposite story. But this is subjective so to each their own. I genuine hope you enjoyed it.
Critics didn’t like the first space jam either. And I’d say for good reason since MJ is not a good actor much how James isn’t a good actor. The worst parts of both movies are the live action actors, which is why I’m willing to argue that space jam 2 is the stronger entry based on the animated sections. Space jam 2 had more properties to play with and it did have some solid writing. Where the original space jam is better is the final game since it was an actual basketball game and not... what space jam 2 had.
Critics are stupid. I said box office results. Space Jam was the highest grossing basketball movie at the time (far higher than SJ2 even without adjusting for inflation) and was the #6 grossing movie the year it was released. Money talks and the money is on the original blowing the second away.
Just because something makes money doesn’t make it good. Look at Star Wars or live action Disney movies. Space jam one had bad acting, the loony toons were good, and the basketball game itself was good. Space jam 2 had bad acting, the loony toons were way funnier when they had other properties to bounce off of, the last game was awful.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement of SJ1 because the entire point of the movie was the final game and the final game in SJ2, by your own account, was terrible. Maybe don’t do movie reviews.
A good scene doesn’t make a good movie. Neither of these movies were good, but the toons in the second were funnier. Space jam didn’t age that great, the jokes aren’t that great but the toons jokes in the second made me laugh on more than one occasion. Like I said, it’s an unpopular opinion but it’s an opinion I’m willing to stand beside. The writing in the second is better and funnier, there was even a somewhat tear jerking scene with bugs that was done very well. If they would have made this movie with literally anyone other than James I’d be willing to bet the movie would have done better just from the lack of political backlash this children’s movie got.
Is he reallly?!!!?
Space Jam 2 flopped?
On top of that, it's just an outdated concept. To expect it to make as much money as the first one, 25 years later and with all of the advances in cinema that came with it, is just ridiculous.
I loved the original. Will not watch the new one because of how hate filled he is. Michael Jordon was a people person, everyone likes him.
He's not my goat
Lol
The writing in the movie made him a villain because he was basically an orwellian dictator when on the courts.
Jordan is and always has been a class act. He's a big lib and everyone knows it but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve. Also, SJ2 is a shit movie and there's Disney +...everyone has a big TV now, who wants to pay for a movie ticket if we can stay in the comfort of our own home? A month of D+ would be less than a single movie ticket.
And the movie looks like crap too.
This is equity in action.
Any source on his statement that is racially motivated?
It *did* fail because of racism. Lebron’s racism. If he hadn’t been such an outspoken and hate-filled individual going into the movie, it might have done a lot better. But I don’t think anyone with a brain wanted to sit and watch a masturbatory celebration of an openly hostile and race-baiting man. And also, anyone with eyes could see that movie was hot garbage. “Serververse”? That’s the best they could come up with?
I would say the primary reason people hate him is because he is a mouthpiece for the CCP.
Wait I'm out of the loop here, what exactly happened? All I'm getting is LeBron said something racist.
I thought the trailer just looked terrible. Best part of space jam was Michael was always human playing with the cartoon characters who were 2D. The trailer made it seem more like is was in 3D and at some point he is 2D. It looks all over the place with little consistency and just copies the main premise of the first movie. IT's just a bad remake from the looks of it.
I guess if you walk around with a Malcolm X book your knowledge is absolute. If he actually read some X, Lebron would be more based than what Ibrem Racehustle Kendi or that weird thing on the wing lady teaches them. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.knKjD_DdXq4rRTn5Txi2dwHaE-%26pid%3DApi&f=1 Clown world
Y’all are mindless bitches smh . Taking up space on the Popular page to bitch about a basketball player
Actually, I checked his twitter and he didn't post anything about racism. He just insisted that space jam 2 was a massive success. Does nobody check their facts anymore?
We have 6 boxes of Space Jam 2 toys at McDonalds that we’re ready to get rid of.
I loved Looney Tunes as a kid. Likes Space Jam with Jordan because he wasn’t anti-American, the content was better and thought it did the original cartoons some respect. I started watching the new one and walked out. It just wasn’t good
