Wait, y'all actually acting like #spacejam isn't a kids movie?

AND y'all acting like the first one wasn't poorly received trash. Don't do this revisionist history. For the long form commercials that both space jam movies are- they're good for what they are. Solid C+ mindless entertainment. It's a movie about cartoons and y'all acting like it's supposed to be giving the secret to curing world hunger.

I find it quite odd that the main reason for negative reviews is NOT because of it being a bad movie (it is not), but because it doesn't follow the book exactly? Do you know how foolish this sounds? It doesn't follow the book from the 90s. It isn't the 90s.

Also, many of you are showing your st*pidity by blaming "wokeness" because there is a woman in it. Do you people realize all of this is fake? It is a MOVIE. Actors. People doing multiple takes. Filming scenes. Whats really up with yall? If you hate seeing women - take that up with your mom.

Just enjoy the movie for what it is: A decent story, that we all have seen before, being acted very well, with some great stunt scenes. The story as a whole isn't new, so sticking to the book 100% wouldn't have changed much - but it is good entertainment for a lazy evening.

To decolonize the mind is a tough thing to do. It is ironic that the people who don't like it, merely don't like it because it doesn't show whiteness (not white people, but whiteness) in a bad light. That should tell you all you need to know. As for the documentary itsel, parts are hard to watch. He makes you sit with your feelings and endure the cognitive dissonance within you. Even paused a few times to "research" only to find out, what was just said/presented was factual. The narrative around a lot of what we know and was taught is torn down and that is extremely hard for some. Like finding out the Easter bunny, tooth fairy, and Santa clause aren't real. The documentary does a great job of humanizing the people while showing how whiteness (not white people) developed a sense of being in this country. It is worth a watch and when you get over the emotions of it, you should watch it again. I can not lie- I did wonder how this snuck by to be on such a large platform like HBOMax. But it was well worth discovering.

Disregard the sensitive cancel culture firebrand of those who just want to call anything that doesn't say "white is right, regardless" political drivel or propaganda - as if the status quo isn't propaganda in the worst form.
