I googled but......

spoilers I guess??









quote:

There is, however, a flaw in Dom Ball: Dom, wanting to pay tribute to his star father, included a signature move LeBron taught him, and put it in the game. Dom wasn’t able to finish though, and doing the move causes Dom Ball to glitch out, and the character who performed it to be deleted forever. In the climax of A New Legacy, Dom thinks this might be true of Al-G’s version of Dom Ball too, and that causing the glitch will cause Al-G to lose control — at the expense of one player being deleted forever.


LeBron wants to be the one to sacrifice himself, but just before he’s about to catch the ball, Bugs intercepts it and performs The Move instead. And the gambit works! The Toons win, the day is saved, and Bugs is mourned on Toon World as he seems to ascend to the heavens in what’s maybe the most bizarre scene in a thoroughly bizarre movie.

Pretty sure this movie is trash regardless of how someone feels about Lebron or politics.

Check out the reviews. Absolutely brutal.

Also, people who mockingly say "he's not bias at all" I still believe he would give some credit if it deserved any. Perhaps it's just a terrible movie and has nothing to do with bias or politics? I have no interest to watch it, but I believe him when he says it was hard to finish.

I don’t ever intend on seeing the movie, but I’m pissed that Wile E Coyote properly executed an Acme product and succeeded in its use.

It’s a betrayal of the character.

So a Hollywood Director who has only directed 2 Feature films in his entire career is the last word now? I haven't seen these films , but I'm sure they aren't masterpieces of cinema.

Many people in Hollywood have opinions. And we fully respect these opinions now on the MSB?

While I can probably sing the whole soundtrack, I don't know if I've ever seen the whole movie.

Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cartoons were my favorite of the Looney Toons.

Baby back bitch Lebron can suck my dick.

He's not in MJ's stratosphere.

In anything. Ever.

“I got a basketball Jones “ TYFYS

Best song on the movie. The first one
That is.

Btw,I heard that someone counted LeBron saying ,I’ve got to save my son” over 20 times lol and he’s called” king James “over 30 times.
Does that sound corny and self serving to anyone else?

ETA. I’m watching The old space jam now and there’s another jam I forgot about. The song they play for the monstars when they come on the court..”hit em high “ don’t know the name or if it’s a real song but it’s goat status for basketball movies

No shite, the only people that think LeBrons better are trolling or retarded.

What I’m about to say isn’t a joke. Y’all know the guy that performs the internet version of licking lebrons dirty arse taint? His user names chinayang or some shite. The guy that’s starts all these threads calling another man the king.
Well, that retard thinks Johnny Jones is a better coach than will Wade.

Thats the type people we’re dealing with when it comes to praising LeBron. China , if you keep on , he may frick you but don’t be surprised if he # me toos your bitch arse.

Good

Says Film Was Boring


I spared myself a complete waste of money

LeBron is No Michael


And never will be, what is it about this guy that people strive to place him on such a high pedestal? He's a dick in real life unless you're his family or a member of his inner circle, a complete hypocrite when it comes to his political statements, and not as great in this point of his career as his acolytes hype him up to be. I don't get it, what did he do to deserve this praise and adulation from people who don't know him?

Look, I haven’t seen this movie, but anyone who pretends the original space jam was anything other than a piece of shite is kidding themselves.

I’m all for shitting on Lebron, but Jordan’s acting is the cringiest shite ever as an adult.

Was a fun movie when I was a kid though.

Well, there are slightly different prices on movie tickets now and not even accounting for inflation.

Further, it is coming in a summer with literally nothing worth dogshit actually being released.

Third, it made less than 25% of its budget in the first weekend (with an extra day), which is utter dogshit these days.

As for the 88%, you realize those numbers are not legit either way, right? Justice League had freaking 70% Audience score. Cats was an abomination and had a 50%+ score. Suicide Squad was near 60%, etc.

Audience reviews are horrible gauges especially when it is clearly being manipulated by bots or paid off. Rotten Tomatoes is a horrible way to determine the quality of a movie. It's already dropped from your 88 to 81% as more people see the abomination.

LeBron James just became the FIRST NBA Billionaire while still playing the sport. He is and has been and will continue to be a money-making machine. Check off another GOAT category folks.

Well are you going to take into account people can stream the movie for free now?

And the whole pandemic thing? Or nah, lets not take that into account

People are doing some Simone Biles level shite to convince themselves this movie wasnt successful and as successful as the first

Thanks largely by Chinese yen and inflation, I'm supposed to be impressed by this??

He doesn't endorse any top of the line, dominant products and his "shoe line" isn't remotely close to approaching Air Jordan in terms of market dominance worldwide

More like the GOAT of choking, being overhyped, and being a hypocritical a-hole when it comes to politics that's for sure

So he thinks his movie staring the NBA's biggest star playing basketball with Looney Toon Characters is better than someone else's movie staring the NBA's biggest star playing basketball with Looney Toon Characters.

That makes sense!

I watched Space Jam 2 and enjoyed it.

I have never seen the original but I plan to watch. Who knows...Space Jam 2 could be like Grease 2...better than the original and it you watch it first you agree.
