Space Jam 2 thoughts
Also, here's my thoughts on the first one if you wanna read that first. If not, feel free to skip ahead.
Ok, so I've watched Space Jam 2.
And I feel... Basically the same yeah about it as I do about the first movie. For different reasons, but about the same.
For one thing, I think the animation in this movie is phenomenal. It moves really fluidly, the characters are well designed (by the way, credit Dave Alvarez) and the game itself, jumping ahead a bit, ia super fun. It actually looks like a game I would play, this over the top sorts extravaganza... Speaking of which, Microsoft, put that fucking tie in game on Windows 10. Or Switch, you have a good relationship with Nintendo. But I'm getting off topic.
And, fitting for a Looney Tunes movie, I like the Looney Tunes! They're all pretty funny, I specifically like how Daffy just said "Nah I ain't playing the game, I'll be a coach." Speaking of which, I really like his coach outfit. Again, the designs in the movie are great.
But let's get to what I didn't REALLY like about the movie. And that's, sadly, LeBron James himself.
Now I'm not one of those who hates LeBron for whatever reason, I'm sure he's a nice guy. But he's just... not who I came to see. And so much of the movie is dedicated to him. And to be fair, a lot of Space Jam 1 is dedicated to Michael Jordan, but 1. Michael goes along with the Tunes pretty much instantly. That COULD be seen as a negative, but I like it. It makes the movie concise, and gets exactly to what we want to see. Michael Jordan playing ball with the Looney Tunes.
And 2. The first movie is only an hour and half. This movie is damn near 2 hours. And on top of that, the first movie knew to cut between Michael Jordan in the real world, and the Looney Tunes. In this one, we spend the first, like, 30 minutes in the real world with LeBron and his family. I get it, it's setting up the game and LeBron's arc... but I don't care about his arc either. It's the stereotypical "mean dad" story and... I don't CARE.
Okay, going back to positives real quick so I'm not a total negative Nancy, I like a lot of the references. They can be seen as distracting, but I just like the idea of the Looney Tunes battling in front of all of Warner Brothers. It's cool.
But back to negatives, let's talk about Lola.
I know a lot of people like this Lola but, to me, she's just as boring as the first one, but for different reasons. In the original she's just "hot girl" and in this one she's just "sporty girl". She's just as boring to me, but people like her more cause... I dunno, she's not sexualized anymore? I don't know, I don't really give a shit. I know that's gonna piss people off, but meh.
But yeah, you can kinda see why I say it's on the same level as 1, just for different reasons. I like the game itself and the setup a bit more in 2, but I dig the characters and pacing more in one. Also, Michael learning to use cartoon physics to his advantage is a lot cooler then... glitching a video game.
Overall, I guess I like 1 more, because the pacing and characters are really important, but I can't say 2 was worthless in any way. I still liked, despite it not actually being good, and would watch it again.
So... yeah. Kinda jumbled thoughts, but overall I would say I enjoyed Space Jam 2.
... Back in Action is still easily the best Looney Tunes movie, ok byyyyyye.
