Is Space Jam a good movie?

Man, I haven't seen it in like over a decade or something... I remember enjoying it a lot, but at my age then that hardly equates to me thinking it was a good movie. One thing I always remember was feeling really smart at correcting the joke about the ''I didn't know Dan Akroyd was in this picture'' line, referring to Bill Murray. Completely flew my over my head at the time... That, and the Pulp Fiction reference I always assumed was actually a reference to MiB. But again, I was probably like 10 when I first saw it, and around 15 the last time.

Of course it is.

The only thing I remember is the nostalgia critic review and that Bugs and co were really assholes. Can't say much about quality. But I look forward of seeing the first trailer of Space Jam 2

It's entertaining in an exceedingly dumb way, but I wouldn't call it good.

It depends on how you define 'good.'

Fun, but not good. Like a Big Mac.

Sure it is. The animation in particular still holds up fairly well.

It was fine for kids when it came out, I don't think many kids would care much about MJ or BB anymore.

There isn't anything there for an adult to enjoy other than nostalgia.

As a kid I would have said yes. As an adult who tried to go back and watch it recently I will give a resounding NOPE. If you have never seen it before and you go in with enough expectations that you are going to watch a dumb movie that has no reason to exist, then you can probably enjoy it ironically though.

I'd have to watch it for the first time in, like, a decade. Is it on Youtube?

It's basically my generations Citizen Kane.

I saw it for the first time in like 15 years a while ago. It's a "good" movie, but by no means is it a good movie.

Hell Yeah! I had fun watching that fucking movie. I felt like I wanted to fly like an eagle into the future, just fly like an eagle into the sea, you know fly right into the future.

EDIT: Song got stuck in my head, now I got to download it.

@falserelic: OH FUCK MY MINNNNND THE NOSTALGIA IS JUST POURING OUT OF ME EARS RIGHT NOW

I saw it in theaters when I was a child, and that child version of myself thinks Space Jam is wonderful.

I am completely content in never seeing that film again and preserving my rose-tinted vision of it.

It is the best movie.

Yes, if its from the 90s and features Michael Jordan, it has to be good.

No.

Couple years back a friend and I rented (yes, blockbuster was still around when we did this, shocking) Space Jam and Kazaam.....KAZAAM IS AWESOME! Both are bad movies, not going to deny that but Kazaam was infinitely more watchable. Space Jam will be awesome to watch with my son in a few years, he will be 4, after that the movie has no appeal.

Nostalgia is what makes this movie good. Do I think there should be a sequel? Hell no.

It was a fun movie, all jokes about "Space Jam is a stone cold classic" aside. Certainly not high cinema, but it's surprisingly watchable.

I remember liking it at the time...
but, then again, I also liked shit like the Mortal Kombat movie... and also all of those awful Adam Sandler movies like The Waterboy

so, uhh... I don't really trust 8-year-old me to have good taste in movies.

Space Jam is a quality movie but since I haven't seen it recently so I'm not sure it holds up after this many years.

I remember it being a good movie when I was a child. I'm scared to go back and watch it.

I watched it recently, and no. It can be "good" for a while, in an ironic sort of way, but it's hard to hold that sense of irony for the full length of a terrible movie.

For the last fucking time there's no such thing as objectively good movies. What is wrong with people's brains that they developed such an intense confusion between popularity and goodness? Fucking aARghghagh this world just wasn't meant for me.

GREETING...EARTHLINGS......WE HAVE NOW TAKEN OVER YOUR RADIOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo.........

Is it sad that one of the best rap songs in history was from that soundtrack?

Also, that movie is fucking dope. Anyone that says otherwise needs to check their neck.

You guys are soulless, it's the best movie.

It's who framed roger rabbit for corporate america.

nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Yes it's a good movie, but I wouldn't go any farther than that.

What argument? Of course it is a good movie.

hahaha perfect call

reminds me I should go back to ACIV one day but I'm totally stuck in some lame stealth don't-get-discovered missions

The only scene that stands the test of time is when Charles Barkley and co. lose their basketball powers and struggle with their daily life.

"You're not Charles Barkley, you're just a wannabe who looks like him."

even nowadays i can still appreciate the meshing of cartoon and real people,
imagine how stupid it was to film (talk to this bucket, we'll put bugs bunny there later)
the resulting movie is a family friendly good time!
if you practice hard, then maybe one day you too, can fight off the invading alien overlords with your sick basketball skill...z

My memory tells me it is, but I'm not going to ruin that by going back and watching it.

As a kid a great movie. As an adult its alright.

Space Jam is good if you are 10 or stoned.

The whole movie is worth it for the Bill Murray subplot payoff

This is a completely reasonable statement in and of itself.

@falserelic: you picked the wrong song the right one works great with Dave Lang too!

Space Jam was not particularly good in being true to the Looney Tunes characters. The whole thing felt very commercial and bad, even when I was young.

ha I knew it would be YES and it's so absolutely not. And I'm a huge basketball fan and I really like Looney Tunes. And Bill Murray! That movie is not good though.

The stuff with Bill Murray is good.

No, it's fucking terrible. Don't be crazy.

That movie is alright by me.

I liked it quite a lot, actually.

I still enjoy it quite a bit.

Are you a closet Charles Barkley super fan? The only other person I have ever ran into that says Space Jam is that horrible says so because they were a Barkley fan.

I haven't seen it since I was little, so yes, it is a fucking masterpiece of cinema.
