Because it has Pepe on it, The only good thing about Space Jam 2 is that Pepe and Penelope got memory holed together.
Back in action is still better BTW

Perhaps. All i know is that he retired from Hollywood and big studio projects after Space Jam (parting ways with his writing partner) and that he was living in England at the time they hired him to pen Astroboy (director is a brit, which is why he chose Freddie Highmore to play Astro and also chose a Supergrass song for that montage)

Still find it funny how this robot trio was played by brits, plus the way they did it : They got Matt Lucas to play the leader, and then asked Bill Nighy, who played Dr. Elefun, if he wanted to play the red robot as well. Lastly, the director of the movie is a brit, so he played the fridge and completed the trio.

At least here, I haven't been saying much if any people outright saying it's good. Just that it's better than 2 and highlighting what it did that 2 didn't.

I think it would be Astro Boy actually, simply terrible script from all technical perspectives. You can tell it was written by a man way past his prime and suffering from the onset of dementia.

It was a fine script. Not every joke hits and Stone is too much of a caricature, but it's still earnest and entertaining, even touching. Astro is likeable and worth rooting for, Cora and Elefun are nice, and both Tenma and Hamegg get some of their best portrayals

It was never an explicitly bad movie. Most people found it an inoffensive and enjoyable pop culture event, and nobody really talked about it afterward. The new movie was just such shit, it made everyone remember how much less shit the original had been. It's not some case of sudden admiration for a lost gem, or anything, take your fucking meds, zoomie.

What happens is a terrible sequel/reboot/remake comes out, and instead of just admitting it was bad, one of the copes is to tear down the original. "Well, the original one wasn't good in the first place anyway!"
Thing is, if it really did suck, you wouldn't have tried to reboot it or whatever. Ain't nobody making a Back in Action Part 2.
Space Jam is a fun kid's movie. Hating on it because Space Jam 2 was a stinker won't change the fact that Space Jam 2 wasn't good.

It wasn't a good movie but it tried to be a fun movie. The concept was novel, with only a few prior examples to go off of. Everyone knew it was basically just a commercial for sneakers but the people involved clearly still had fun making it.

That gives the movie some level of charm.

The new movie does the exact same thing except it wants to be taken seriously and DEMANDS you do to.

I like the writing in Space Jam. It's a fun and witty script on paper, outside of some weak gags probably added by the animators. Unfortunately, the movie feels sloppy due to being made in only 19 months : Joe Pytka's direction is amateurish, MJ's acting is poor, live action and animation mix is unconvincing, character animation is too hyperactive, CG is awful, and the timing / editing feels off.

Again, i really like the script by Harris and Weingrod, and the soundtrack is fantastic, but everything else reeks of a rushed production. Fun to watch, yet sloppy

You know nothing about scripts, I've not seen you say anything tangible about why you think the scripts are good beyond some variation of the words wit, charm, tight, and whatever bullshit adjective you happen to have a hangup over at that particular moment.

Good job, now you're on your way to the path of enlightenment.

But real talk, I don't really care what you think about movies, it's the constant nonstop spam that's the issue. Tone that down and no one here would really care what movies you like or dislike beyond the usual minor spats of "my taste is better than yours!" that go on here and the rest of the site at large. You could spam something that most people here would actually agree with but people would disagree with you on principle for being a nuisance like that. It's the method and frequency that you post that breeds hostility. I know deep down you're probably not a bad guy and annoyance isn't really hatred, do you think you can be reasonable here? You've been posting here for what, two years according to you? Surely you're feeling at least a little burnt out and I don't know what is genuine enjoyment and just plain spite at this point considering I remember you admitting a while ago that it was feeling like a chore. I mean shit man, every now and again I've seen you be the only poster in your threads beyond the odd post of confusion from random anons. There's gotta be a more productive and less antagonistic way to get across what you want to get across out of this.

This scene feels rushed. Monstars don't wonder what is a human doing down there and they just turn MJ into a ball for no reason ( he didn't get provoke them or anything) One of them also says "Look at your hero now", despite nothing indicating that the LT had any hopes on MJ. It also ends abruptly. We don't see the monstars leave or telling them '"See you tomorrow at the stadium". Just sorta ends, suddenly cutting back to the real world
