I decided to watch this because I just wanted to watch a braindead movie. This one was supposed to be especially bad. I was not disappointed. They say it themselves at the very beginning, "getting basketball players to act in movies normally ends badly". Lebron James is a great basketball player, not a great actor. A lot of things in this movie seem blatantly out of place, plot and acting wise. It kind of feels like they tried to add in pop culture references like the emoji movie tried to add in advertisements and sponsorships. The comedy never really hits and ends up being more cringeworthy than funny. Another thing with the plot, there is almost an hour of movie before the game, and AN HOUR OF GAME. Although the game is somewhat entertaining, its totally not an hour of movie entertaining. For some reason a lot of the sound effects in this movie sound like they came straight off of imovie sound effects library or royaltyfreemusic.net. I swore I heard at least one fake laughing/cheering sitcom sound effect. They also lose an excessive amount of slo-mo and special "video game" effects. I know the movie is supposed to be in an internet type setting, but still. the sheer amount of times they use special effects is a LOT over the top. Like its cool for one or two baskets to be in slo-mo but not EVERY SINGLE ONE. Also if the game is supposed to be super important, why use a montage to skip through most of it.
I think the 150 Million dollar budget of this movie could have gone towards sooo many better things, like maybe towards the environment, or towards people in poverty, or towards cancer research, or towards building back up the reputation of the poor real actors who chose to be in this movie. My last thoughts on this movie are that it really did not need to exist, its way too good of production quality to turn out so bad. I'm honestly just annoyed that I wasted so much of my time watching this. I reallllly hope they don't make another sequel/spinoff in another decade or two because the novelty wore off on the original space jam movie in my opinion. I would call this movie a cashgrab, but it actually lost a lot of money. more last thoughts: there was not one good song throughout the entire movie bad movie, don't watch Characters: 1/10 Shot selection/score: 2/10 Plot: 1/10 Overall enjoyment 0/10 Final rating: 1/10
