15 Movies You Loved As A Kid (That Are Actually Terrible)

8. Space Jam

If you grew up in the mid-90s. there's a good chance you watched Space Jam literally dozens of times before the turn of the millennium.

After all, what could be more enticing to a 90s kid than pairing basketball star Michael Jordan with the Looney Tunes to dunk against a team of space-faring aliens?

And if you're 10 years old or less, Space Jam delivers exactly what you'd hope for, but it's high time for millennials to admit that, well, it's really just a bit naff.

From Jordan's awful performance to the nonsense plot, thoroughly wasted Bill Murray, gaudy hybrid of live-action and animation, and the unsightly sexualisation of Lola Bunny, Space Jam is an ugly film in most respects.

Above all this, it's a cynical exercise in brand synergy packaged into a bright, easily digestible package for children, which is surely the grossest thing of all.
