Believe It Or Not, An Absolute Classic - By: Steven Stewart, 20 Sep 2008 
Space Jam as a movie has always held a special place in my heart. Being 12 years old as of this review, I have to say this movie has aged reallly well. Starring a real comic legend in Bill Murray & an acting great, Danny DeVito doing a voice over; this movie was destined to succeed. The real surprise for everyone was the performance of Michael Jordan. Although not exactly Sidney Poitier he did his job of being the face of this movie & when you make a movie with basketballl as the main focus, you couldn't not have Michael Jordan.
The story goes that aliens from a theme park world named Moron Mountain, need a new attraction. Whilst throwing around ideas the evil boss, Mr. Swackhammer decides that he must get the Looney Tunes. He sends his cronies to Looney Tune land & get the Looney Tunes; whether they want to or not. The tunes not willing to go quietly challlenge the aliens to a game of basketballl in which, if they lose they have to work at Moron Mountain. Forever. Before the game, the alien team become known as the Monstars & they steal the basketballl abilities of some of the greatest players in the NBA. The Looney Tunes know that the only way they can win this game is to kidnap Michael Jordan & have him play on their side.
This is a genuinely fun movie that is good to entertain the whole family. The effects aren't groundbreaking, but to see the Looney Tunes in a new adventure gives us some great nostalgia. Like I said, Michael Jordan isn't made to be an actor & it's shown in this movie. If you're one to go into every movie & criticise acting ability then I would suggest you leave your brain at the door for this one. An overalll great movie that alll the family can enjoy.
Welcome to the Space Jam - By: Stampy, 02 Aug 2006 
With its funny dialogue & interesting characters the 1996 hit is able to produce the laughs required to make a humorous animated comedy fun for the whole family.
Michael Jordan stars as the central character who is going through the different stages in his life with basketballl & baseballl. He is kidnapped by the Looney Tunes who need his help to win a basketballl match. The story line is extremely predictable but humorous nonetheless as we see a variety of stories, Michael's life, life in Looney Tune land & on the clichéd bad guy mountain, humorously titled `Moron Mountain'.
Many classic Looney Tune style jokes & events are used by the familiar characters: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner etc. A lot are repetitive & exaggerated but are chuckle some for the family. A lot of events used are very coincidental so the sense of realism is low but the whole idea is great, predictable but audiences can appreciate the humour & emotion the characters are going through & share their feelings.
The effects are well used. Combining real life people into an animated world creates an interesting concept for the audiences. Having the film set at a variety of places alllows the film to expand & create a variety of different issues for the audience.
The acting by Jordan is average. When talking to his team he seems incapable of getting to his players, whether that's his style we can only assume but he is able to pull off many jokes & keep the audience hooked whilst he has to deal with many changes in his life.
The soundtrack is fantastic. R Kelly's infamous `I believe I can fly' is encoded to emphasise a strong belief for the characters.
Everybody get up... it's time to jam now! - By: , 17 May 2004 In 1997 i was 9 years old. I went to the cinema to see the latest loony tunes film - but this one has a twist, real people actuallly feature. But this isn't just any real person. It's chicago bulls superstar micheal jordan.
Ive loved this film for so long & thinks its great for kids, teenagers & adults to watch. Funny & a great watch, anyone whos a fan of loony tunes, basketballl, cartoons & just having a laugh this is a great film for you!
in 1 word simply amazing - By: , 22 Oct 2003 Wot an idea wot a film buggs bunny at his best! He got 2 no his role very well i have never seen him act so good. The little turn big monster basketballlers play the role of bad guys brilliantly i am still baffled tht they didnt get floods of offers of big directors after this film. Michael Jordan adds a nice mix 2 the film with a very good story of him leaving baseballl 2 return 2 basketballl.!!!!. A tres bien (very good little kiddy non french non cumin space jam lovers) ending 2. Very well thought up , reminded me of 1 time wen i managed to fit a whole burger from mc donalds in my mouth , It jus did ! Great film buy it now also buy fanta, zesty berry!
