It's also confirmed that Zendaya is the new voice for Lola. Why not bring back Kath Soucie? Voice actors <> money. Name actors/actresses who may or may not be any good at it = money. It's one thing I can respect Michael Bay for, as he mostly used actual VAs (including OG Optimus) for Transformers. /Didn't use them WELL, but go with me here...

I mean, it's out here tomorrow but Ernie Johnson's in it.
So objectively, it's already better than the first Space Jam.
I don't make the rules.

I want to see this because I enjoy the Looney Tunes and enjoyed the first one. But, I also think LeBron James is a giant tool so don't think I can stomach seeing an hour a half of him.

Really with it only six points lower than the original on RT it might be the smallest dropoff in quality for a 20-years-later comedy sequel ever.

I think this is a very good point -- Space Jam has benefitted a TON from nostalgia. It wasn't a good movie. I wonder what folks will think of this 20 years removed.

Are there any NBAers in this other than LeBron?

There are going to be a lot of anti-LeBron people that will try to bury this. I'm sure the movie is fine. Since I have HBO Max, I'm going to give it a watch. Even as an MJ mark, I was only meh on the original, so.....

I think LeBron is a decent actor. I thought he was one of the best parts of Trainwreck (move with Amy Schumer and Bill Hader if people have forgotten).

I think another problem with this movie is... unlike the original Space Jam, where the Monstars are presented as these dominating obstacles who defy the conventions set out in the world of Looney Tunes, which creates the plot conflict, we don't have that with the Goon Squad. They barely aren't given any time or focus in the trailers, cause they only exist as the obstacles created by the main villain of the movie. Hell, the reason the original movie exists because the Looney Tunes characters challenged the Nerdlucks to a game they figured those guys would easily lose at, not realizing they'd be outsmarted.
And while Don Cheadle is a great actor, Rhythm is no Swackhammer. Danny DeVito played a sleazy, unscrupulous asshole that just wants to make money and doesn't give a crap how he makes it, which had some element of realism to it in addition to being an over the top villain. AI-G Rhythm is... an artificial intelligence program that collects assets for personal amusement, and what do you do with that besides "I recognized that reference?"

Fairly sad my theory of the ending/credits scene didn’t come to pass. {Spoiler}I mean MJ showing up in a credits scene to challenge LeBron to a 1 on 1 friendly match and Bugs throws the ball in the air before we cut to black. Did MJ just want no part of this? Did they waste so much money on special effects to score a cameo? I can’t be too mad that they crammed a bunch of their library characters in since I enjoyed Wreck-It Ralph 2 and they did the same thing...but this just comes off as a huge advertisement for the HBO Max library than a real homage to the OG Space Jam. I hope at least we got an iconic soundtrack with this one too.

The new one is so much better than the original, it’s not even close.
Actual stakes, an invested lead, a better story, a better villian.

The first one has a charm to it it aint a good movie but it atleast felt like a looney toons movie first and foremost where as this was just BUY HBO MAX PLEASE!
And also the original and just speaking of the music is such a memorable soundtrack.

Are there any NBAers in this other than LeBron? my understanding. {Spoiler} Barely...
which is a shame because Charles Barkley and the rest of the NBA all stars were massive bright spots of the original movie.
