Space Jam: A New Legacy, Slam Dunk or Major Flop?

Since its release, Space Jam: A New Legacy has done amazing box office numbers, but has also seriously divided movie fans, especially older generations. After watching it the other day on HBO Max, my feelings towards it are not particularly positive or negative, however, I did find the film entertaining. While some aspects were a bit underwhelming, such as the plot, acting, and writing (at times), there were also really enjoyable comedic moments, impressive special effects, and creative cultural references. Even though it's definitely not a perfect movie, I did appreciate elements of it. Some have categorized the film as a “children's movie,” but I would argue that the film is geared towards millennials and older generations just as much as it is for younger audiences. It is precisely during these moments that I feel the film is at its best and most interesting, operating inside the cultural hype and nostalgia of other Warner Brothers films and television.
