Opinion | Sam Thielman: 'Space Jam' 2 is a soulless, overlong HBO gimmick. - NBCNewsTHINK
July 16, 2021, 9:16 PM UTCOnly one thing could possibly make me nostalgic for the old “Space Jam,” and that isa soulless, brainless, abusively overlong gimmick in search of a movie that lacks even the originality of the similarly terrible 1996 flick . It begins playing in theaters and on HBO Max, which it ceaselessly promotes, Friday.
As it opens, the new “Jam” rehashes parts of the old one: Like the 1996 film, it starts with a childhood version of its basketball player-star practicing. In the original, this is young Michael Jordan, shooting hoops after he’s supposed to be in bed. In “A New Legacy,” we get LeBron James, a much more likable screen presence, playing a Game Boy at hoops practice and getting scolded by his coach.
