10 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Only Going To Disappoint You
4. Space Jam: A New Legacy
Space Jam might hold a special place in the hearts of fans from a certain generation, but let's face it, when you remove the rose-tinted nostalgia glasses then the movie isn't very good.
LeBron James has always been viewed as Michael Jordan's de facto successor on the basketball court, but if his extended cameo in Judd Apatow's Trainwreck is anything to go by, he already looks poised to deliver a much better lead performance than His Airness' painfully wooden turn in the original.
Space Jam: A New Legacy is in this weird position where people in their 30s are arguably more excited by the project than the younger audience that the movie is clearly being designed for and marketed towards, and outside of the fans that will be able to take their kids to the movies to see Bugs Bunny and the gang return to the court, the Looney Tunes aren't exactly at the height of their cultural relevance.
It might sound a little cynical, but its doubtful that the long-awaited follow-up is being put together as a result of unbridled creativity, with Space Jam: A New Legacy looking more and more like Space Jam: A New Cash-In.
