Space Jam: A New Legacy was released in theatres and HBO Max on Friday, and fans have their thoughts. While critics have not been too kind on the movie, social media seems to really enjoy the mix of LeBron James and the Looney Tunes characters. The cast of Space Jam: A New Legacy was really impressed with James’ performance and work ethic.
“I think he knew that carrying a film is a big deal and a big responsibility and of course he’s used to carrying and use to being a leader and he brought that, he brought that to the film, and he was ready, 110 percent prepared,” Sonequa Martin-Green who plays James’ wife in the movie told PopCulture.com. Along with working with the live actors, James also got to work with voice actor Eric Bauza in the studio since he turns into a cartoon.

“Intimidating at first, but the handshake was like this,” Bauza said to PopCulture while holding one of his hands very close to the camera while the other one was back. “Like this is my hand in his. I took a picture with him, and it looked like I was standing in a pothole. He’s larger than life in person and on the big screen, but genuinely a nice guy, couldn’t have met a more passionate guy about this film. Everything he carries on the court, he takes with him to work on the set and in the booth for sure.” Here’s a look at social media giving its review of Space Jam: A New Legacy.

One fan wrote: “A new legacy is a better movie, but the original will always be the best due to nostalgia.” Of course, the original featured Michael Jordan as the star.

One fan is more than ready to watch the new movie. The person wrote: “I’m definitely going watch it later on HBO Max when I get back from work.”
#SpaceJamANewLegacy is the greatest movie ever made.

Harrison Faigen added: “Was it a silly kids movie? Absolutely. Was I expecting a Tarantino film or something? No. It was LeBron acting like a corny dad with the Looney Tunes and a bunch of CGI NBA monsters. It was perfect.”
#SpaceJamANewLegacy was a real fun time. The original is still too nostalgic to be topped but this sequel is a good movie for the kids of this generation. Some people may hate it for that but honestly, beautiful animation and just classic looney toons is all I could ask for pic.twitter.com/zyQ3TXa7AM

One thing to note about Space Jam: A New Legacy is the movie was made for this generation of kids and not for the ones who grew up in the 1990s. And that’s one of the reasons why this social media user is a big fan of the movie.
#SpaceJamANewLegacy is a fun, little-too-long movie. Good laughs for all ages.@KingJames has fun with it. @DonCheadle is a terrific villain. Filled with pieces of WB fan service for movie/tv fans, more if you’re an NBA fan who remembers big moments.
