Believe It Or Not, An Absolute Classic.

Space Jam as a movie has always held a special place in my heart. Being 12 years old as of this review, I have to say this movie has aged really well. Starring a real comic legend in Bill Murray and an acting great, Danny DeVito doing a voice over; this movie was destined to succeed. The real surprise for everyone was the performance of Michael Jordan. Although not exactly Sidney Poitier he did his job of being the face of this movie and when you make a movie with basketball as the main focus, you couldn't not have Michael Jordan.

The story goes that aliens from a theme park world named Moron Mountain, need a new attraction. Whilst throwing around ideas the evil boss, Mr. Swackhammer decides that he must get the Looney Tunes. He sends his cronies to Looney Tune land and get the Looney Tunes; whether they want to or not. The tunes not willing to go quietly challenge the aliens to a game of basketball in which, if they lose they have to work at Moron Mountain. Forever. Before the game, the alien team become known as the Monstars and they steal the basketball abilities of some of the greatest players in the NBA. The Looney Tunes know that the only way they can win this game is to kidnap Michael Jordan and have him play on their side.

This is a genuinely fun movie that is good to entertain the whole family. The effects aren't groundbreaking, but to see the Looney Tunes in a new adventure gives us some great nostalgia. Like I said, Michael Jordan isn't made to be an actor and it's shown in this movie. If you're one to go into every movie and criticise acting ability then I would suggest you leave your brain at the door for this one. An overall great movie that all the family can enjoy.

ANSWER THE QUESTION

Why didn't they animate Michael Jordon? He's a block of wood.

Thank you.

Overall, I liked the movie, but the basketball star of the film was what dragged it down. A lot of people wanted this to be a big summer block buster, but it was dragged down by a man who thought he could do everything.

Too bad. July 26, 2008

My Favorite Movie

I love the movie SpaceJam its one of my favs, even though I'm 20 years old. I go to U of I with Jeff Jordan and Micheal comes by often and I've met him so maybe its just that I love Jordan, and Bugs is pretty cool too. February 18, 2008
