Space Jam: A New Legacy / Reviews
The New York Times
The purposeful sensory overload mostly yields head-spinning stupefaction, leaving a viewer feeling like Wile E. Coyote after hitting a mesa wall.

Variety
Space Jam: A New Legacy is chaotic, rainbow sprinkle-colored nonsense that, unlike the original, manages to hold together as a movie.

It brandishes the brand, which will keep shareholders happy. Whether it could have also been a good movie might not have crossed anyone's mind.

A.V. Club
A glittering CGI trash heap of cameos, pat life lessons, and stale internet catchphrases.

To whom this is meant to appeal is anyone's guess, except presumably the studio's marketing department.

I've never seen anything like it. I also hope to never see anything like it again...

Director Malcolm Lee balances the action, the family dynamics, and the Looney Tunes silliness very well... This is an improvement over the original film, which was pretty much an elevator pitch with slam dunks.

What is most thrilling about A New Legacy is the liveliness of the worlds created, with each destination carrying with it a varying style of animation that brings with it added freshness.

There is a very real sense that Space Jam: A New Legacy is a love-letter to the movies and to the people who make them.

Space Jam: A New Legacy isn’t a bad movie – because it’s not really a movie
The belated sequel is less a movie than a video game you can’t play and a theme park you can’t explore.

It is with great honour that I encourage you to come on and slam, and welcome you to the Jam.
