Space Jam was so awesome when it came out. One of my favorite movies as a kid.

Joel was way before Boobies ever heard of this place. It might be Bert.
Oh right, Joel was the one who got drunk and talked about how hot Misty from Pokemon was. Silly me!
I like Kung-Fu.
I'd prefer not to.
I just re-viewed this film.
Oh god, I take back everything I say. This film is fine art. Truly a piece of such master care and craftsmanship. The plot is a labyrinthine puzzle to the viewer, and unfolding mystery that, as one reaches the exit, finds themselves gazing into their very selves. It has elements of noir blending with psychological thriller. Hitchcock would be proud.
The film is also a powerful and scathing commentary on capitalism, an emotionally mature modern day epic, not unlike W.H. Auden's greatest works in tone and message. Truly a marvelous work.
The acting is superb. Michael Jordan has shown himself to have a minimalist acting approach, a tour de force drawing from greats such as Orson Welles and Marlon Brando. Bugs Bunny's performance is what truly shines, however. His performance is riveting, playing a tortured character with a dark, twisted sense of humor that truly resembles a rodent gone jovially mad.
The cinematography is also a standout. The ingenious use of Dutch angles combined with dynamic dolly work and Point-Of-View shots create an uneasy, tense atmosphere. It truly does set the conflicting moods of the picture well.
In short, this is an excellent film. A prize to be treasured. To be emulated. But never to be repeated. Space Jam is a work of art to never be seen again. It will be timeless, a part of film history as mesmerizing and mysterious as it is identifiable. This is simply a masterpiece. 5 Stars.
