Classic Nostalgia Critic - Space Jam Review Part 1

[MeggChan]

I actually like this movie, even though he does make a few great points C:

[DarkRose219]

2:16 B-but Bugs...you can just trick the aliens.....And stop super over exagerating!

[nahor88]

1. MJ wasn't that bad an actor

2. The Looney Tunes WERE funny

3. The movie was fresh, original and very entertaining.

basically... FUCK YOU!!

[1994moviebuff]

Did anyone here know that Korey Coleman of spill.com was one of the animators of Space Jam?

[BobaFettRules321]

@1994moviebuff are you serious?

[1994moviebuff]

@BobaFettRules321 seriously! you can look it up on IMDB. they wont include spill.com or loading bar, but there is a short film with similar animation called Porn Editor. (PS GOD i wish he could do a crossover with Doug!!)

[XkaVader1]

Wow, are there ANY bad movies that this guy bashes? First he bashes Flubber, and now this great movie. Two words Nostalgia Critic: fuck you!

[ZhangtheGreat]

Hehe, this is one of those movies where the parts don't connect. What I mean is: the acting is poor (not counting the voice overs; those are great), the writing is poor, the songs are okay, the concept is poorly executed...and yet the movie is still an enjoyable movie.

[Gibsonsg527]

I actually really liked this movie as a kid and I still kinda like it now even though it has its problems.

[instakill4523]

get ya hains on lace up ur nikes grab ur weedys and ur gator 8 and we will pick up a big mac on the way to the ballpark "suttle" lmao

[Bandaids4ever]

@instakill4523 ...You mean Wheaties and Gatorade? Those are some pretty iconic brand names you just screwed up. You're not from the US, are you? Or Canada, for that matter. Come to think of it, you're probably not from anywhere in western Europe, either... Where are you from that you aren't familiar with Gatorade?

[amhRUSHBAT]

HAIL BLANC!!!

[caitlin23164]

i love this movie, but i agree with you on most of this stuff. though i find the looney tunes funny. but i do agree on the 50s looney tunes being better

[QueenOfPessimism]

I understand what the Critic is saying, but the nostalgia factor for this movie is too great for me. I love it. To each his own, though. I still love the little song they had for this movie!

[riptiderobin15]

I can't get over how wrong he is to find this funny.

Yes, yes it's his opinion, but this is mine and NC is wrong about this movie. Micheal Jordan wasn't too bad in front of camera. The loony tunes are funny in this movie, and the other basketball player scenes were some of the funniest parts.The songs were really nice. 

[super17a]

this is better the back in action

[cjjb95]

first commercial for a commercial for a commercial is the wizard for nintendo

[rayhs1984]

@cjjb95 The Wizard was awesome.

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

Hmmm i see your point Mr.Critic.

[Goltork2]

ikr this movie is pain

[crashnburner187]

Even wearing nostalgia goggles can't save this film.

[EMaster2006]

To this day I always regarded Space Jam to be the greatest thing to ever be made into a movie even though commercialism took a part in the production. Everyone I knew who's my age agrees with me that it is a Cult Classic.

[rockandrollguy87]

hey i loved space jam

[sephiroth8261]

1:52 commerception!

[Nova20cp]

O_O

[ZashNickelson]

A VERY strange conversation in my Reading Class brought me to watch this again

[MrJayra210]

Love this movie and yes it is ridiculous but its awesome.

[BombThrowinDrunk]

But I liked this movie...

[Alphakennybody37]

This review is funny, but I disagree with the NC, this is a good movie.

[Joecbg100]

Sorry, Doug, I loved this film.

[JoelandtheBots]

LOL So the aliens' disguise at the basketball game is of the Fourth Doctor? Is Doctor Who a celebrity on their planet or something?

[sshhmayisroelhashem1]

space jam is the best movie of all time! i watched it over and over when i was a kid, its just so good

[sshhmayisroelhashem1]

space jam is the best movie of all time!

[BeauBeauBeauBeau]

I like space jam and this review :D

[frynross1]

I like this movie when I was younger too, but looking back at it, I do see why the movie fell flat on its ass, and why the Critic dislikes it... At least Jordan can act better than Shaq

[boru25]

What do you think is better? Space Jam or Looney Tunes Back in action'?

[Rickraptor77]

This movie and Pokemon the first movie was my childhood so Doug kindly shut up...

[ZeroJinKui]

basketball is intense and gives people a rush of energy?

...what kind of people, exactly? the ones that look like they have melting fudge for skin and are wandering around death's living room aimlessly?

seriously, i've seen basketball... its one of the most boring things i could ever imagine... same goes for any other sport, really... they're all just a bunch of grown men in tight and/or revealing clothes playing with their balls.

[madman101ish]

@ZeroJinKui seems kinda awkward that every person that enjoys watching sports are fat stupid american men who are homophobic... and they also watch wrestleing alot...

[ZeroJinKui]

@madman101ish yet i am none of those things... nice job on living up to the typical internet dumbass stereotype, though.

i find taking walks/running more enjoyable than bouncing rubber balls everywhere and slamming into 12 foot tall freaks with green hair and arrest records that could fill a library.

[TheBiggestHaterEVER]

Ok seriously stfu. This movie is meant for kids you dumbshit. Look i understand that you have nothing better to do as an adult, but why go trash something that is meant for kids? I loved the movie when I was little but obviously it'd be a fucking piece of shit if i saw it in the theaters now! Most retarded review ever.

[JamesPlaysGames95]

i liked this moive, but i understand NC's points

[eatshamu]

this guys awesome

[Peabody6517]

i hated this movie

[Sull604]

I saw this in theatres twice, lol.

[the6oClockShadow]

Hay I liked Space Jam

[ShortFingeredShreder]

1:55 ... subtle! XD

[TeeBee12100]

I don't know if it because I grew up liking this or what, but I actually like it and it's kind of one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Even though I don't agree with Critic this review was funny

[SaturdayNightsME]

Nostalgia Critic is 150% wrong about this one. Dont deny it! This movie was awesome!

[MDthornton83]

Space Jam isn't so bad. It's actually more watchable than the 2003 film Looney Tunes Back in Action. I nearly fell asleep in the theatre watching that.

[e1ep4an1]

The fact that they can present in full such a cock cummin ass munchin meltdown that isn't worth a buy in the $1.00 movie rental machine OnDemand for 2.99 or WHATEVER.....is depressing.Now excuse me,I'm locking myself in an outhouse,eating the key,and crying for 10 years.

[DarthZob]

Space jam was great :/

[stomyn]

what the hell, dude? Space Jam was fucking awesome

[imdb88]

You wanna know what's ironic? Siskel and Ebert actually gave this movie 2 thumbs up yet they gave Ninja Turtles and Home Alone two thumbs DOWN each saying that they were too stupid!

[Rodeorigo]

Prior to 1993, it would have been a Michael Jackson and Looney Tunes movie about his song, JAM!!!

Would have been better than this I'm sure.

[MrGarrukwildspeaker]

speaking of selling out do you and jack daneils have a deal going because if you do good for you

[nintendoboy17]

@MrGarrukwildspeaker I think it's a gag, like AVGN and Rolling Rock.

[Emeraldwing7]

The movie made me so confused as a kid.

[TheInstantClassic1]

One of the few movies I actually disagree with NC about. It was a very fun movie and I'd still watch it. That and Michael was a FAAAAAAAAAR better actor than Shaq

[philipmarie1854]

@TheInstantClassic1 Yeah, it was probably the first movie I ever saw, ever.

[sicmaggot09]

I loved it as a kid and I still like it. :)

[im4everskilled]

I loved Space Jam when I was a kid! :D

[gokk777]

This movie was okay but it wasnt the same looney tunes as it was in the past Mel blanc was great but the new ones suck I'm sorry

[SonicFamilyGal]

@eskimodude812 Now that you mention that, I bet you're not even surprised to find out that this phrase was spliced out when Cartoon Network aired this.

[godzillafan479]

dude its a cartoon not an oscar winning story script so of course it has a wacky story i mean like the nc videos but i loved space jam

[SonicFamilyGal]

@godzillafan479 Well, there may be some NC fans that don't even care which ever movie he reviews whether they like or dislike it and just think it's fun to see him break down in tears or rage over it.

[Digitalsp33r]

I loved space jam... I admit it was a dumb concept, but I liked it...

[omfg148]

What the hell man I love this movie I use to see it everyday when I was younger I don't know what were u smoking

[plikminlol]

Were there any other looney toons movies similar to this one in the sense of how it's animated and acted

[huslerk]

Heh, I still love the movie anyway. One of my favs.

[ishouldplayzelda]

i liked this movie when i was 6 too, just like everyone else on here.... but at that age we liked anything. i think that says something

[RickRomo]

one thing that always threw me off was jordan's house in the movie... millionaire basketball champion lives in a modern modest home in the suburbs.... where is the damn mansion and luxury cars, and the maids ??!!??? even as a 10 year old, I never understood that

[NoMorePopMusic]

@RickRomo to be fair he did play minors, also, not every millionare owns a mansion

[Kibate]

When i first saw this over a friends house when i was a kid, i was annoyed that he skipped all the live action scenes. A few years later i had the chance to watch the movie in a whole, and i phones my friend and thanked him

[Linkzilla2000]

Love this movie, reminds me of the good ol days, ya know?

[nightbane2]

Who doesn't love looney tunes?

Spongebob and Timmy Turner.

[moldorm64]

Pretty obvious that Michael Jordan is a bad actor, he is NOT EVEN an actor and never was. Furthermore, it is quite hard to deliver a good performance in a film where about half of the characters are cartoons and aren't physically present in the filming studios.

[NexusARC]

When I was a kid I actually fast forwarded all of the live action sequences.

[7Rochester1]

I saw this movie so many times because I loved it. But I would rather watch a whole season of Tiny Toons than this

[rachenar]

I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 10 and still thought it sucked ass back then lol

[lolipoppants]

I saw this movie at a young age so naturally I'm attached to it and I actually like this movie. So like like others, I have to disagree but in all honesty it's a great and funny review.

[Boomerblups3wii]

I liked the movie too but aren't people entitled to their own opinions

The nostalgia critic does make a good argument the jokes were nothing like looney toons the movie came up with something that didn't make any sense to their true fans

[MKSfan14]

You know, his alter ego should be renamed the Nostalgia Cri-DICK, because he cencuring a film that was actually successful. Succeeding above all mixed reviews, including that of this hard-arse...

[dbmcfc]

Your pretty funny but a complete fool for picking apart a kids movie which is actually good, whats wrong with a wacky plot dyu want every film to be boy meets girl

[crybabygirl08]

This move makes me laugh all the time! :D

[MrBug96]

You've gotta be kidding

[TheLegendarySuko]

lolz I love this movie, no matter if he disagrees

[5dmc1]

OMG I miss the Warner Bros stores...

[VengadorDorado91]

a commercial for a commercial for a commercial? there's gotta be an Inception joke somewhere in there

[CynthiaShirona149]

1:31 - 1:45

Exactly how I think the Pokemon anime and movies came to be!

[6684lillian]

@CynthiaShirona149

Come on... the first season of POkemon was pretty good.

[CynthiaShirona149]

@6684lillian true, but as the years go by, they seem to have lost the story altogether and instead focuses on the new pokemon for the games.

[6684lillian]

@CynthiaShirona149

Yeah, I'll have to agree with that...

[argentotenebre]

Looney Tunes B-Ball for the SNES;

Combining Looney Tunes and Basketball, but it actually WORKED, and was thoroughly enjoyable

[141COOP]

that movie is awesome

[141COOP]

u suck

[zombiefan011]

Yes this movie is one enormous commercial and the plot is incredibly far-fetched but I still enjoy it cause well IT HAS THE LOONEY TUNES PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH MICHAEL JORDAN I don't even like basketball and I love this movie

[podasky]

reason space jam is awsome 1.micheal fucking jordan 2.looney tunes 3.lolabunny <3

[Akirameerkat]

Space jam is gold compared to cartoonetowrk's new Looney toons show, now that is unfunny and boring, and poorly drawn, I have to admit, Lola is very beautiful, millions of people think lola is hot, but still this is very funny.

[antsorter]

fun fact: the guy who directed brave little toaster was an animation producer on this

what

[ArktikiceFrost]

I had this movie on VHS, and I watched it constantly.

[Artprincess247]

I thought space jam was pretty awsome, especially with having cartoon and reality put together.

[TheVader2]

Only Picard could even possibly describe how I feel about this review. 

[GreenCollegeMan]

Space Jam is an Awesome Movie,Because of Bugs Bunny and Micheal Jordan. If there is ever going to be a sequel, Lebron James (aka the "What should I do?" guy) should be in it.

[fabian5002]

I fucking love you NC, your review about Jurassic Park: The Lost World was the best! You have made me hate a bunch af crappy movies I loved when I was a kid. But you're fucking right, specially with the, with the... the... B-- BAT--- BAT CREDIT CARD?????? AAAAAHHHHHHHHGRRR

[Lemadi]

Does the Nostalgia Critic like horses? can he do a horses movie review like Black Beauty or Black Stallion. and does he like Zorro? also can he do a review on that.

[TeeBee12100]

he should see Looney Tunes Back in Action

now that was bad

[DeepEye1994]

@TeeBee12100 ...Ok, let's see the votes of both movies from IMDb:

Space jam = 5,7

Looney Tunes: Back in Action = 5,9

And now from RottenTomatoes:

Space Jam = 37%

LT:BIA = 58%

So that's just your opinion, and that's ok.

[TheTurkeyStraw]

review the sequel... *shudders*

[blismath56]

Dumbass, how can you say that Jordan is a bad actor when he's playing himself?

[dogydory]

space jam was awesome!!!! especially when i was little..

[johnswitchblade1234]

space jam was fun, just think postive :) oh well, your choice

[Silkorvelvet]

I liked this movie as a kid, but I still agree with the critic =)

[916vocalcovers]

he looks like les claypool...awesome

[dstebbin]

Omg I almost died when he said "bunny boobies"

[bosshog7169]

This is an excellent movie, i saw it twice in theaters and still watch it once a year or so, it is excellent. Michael Jordan can't help but be commercialized because he's so amazingly awesome people want to buy stuff from him, not his fault you communist. The free market has spoken and they want Bugs bunny and MJ.

[CrushingC10996WM]

i fn love this movie

[MrIlive4metal]

Nostalgia Critic: "Is it too late to get my money back?"

Sorry we don't do refunds

[piccologuy14]

ironically, Bugs disguised himself as a slave to get away from Yosemite Sam

[goldengunuser]

to be honest I like this movie but only the parts with bugs -_-

[bellairis29]

I remember this movie being a sensation in like 2nd grade, everybody loved it, even kids like me who'd never seen it loved it. I think it had to do with the soundtrack...

[Panax07]

@bellairis29 The odd thing is that the Soundtrack had artists on it that only kids in High School would have known.

[goldengunuser]

@CamMagic12 hes not a wana bee him and james are acculy close friends -_-

[NottinghamForest22]

I loved Space Jam when I was a kid.

[Gigakoops]

This was our high school's homecoming theme this year. Space Jam. I hated this so much.

[gannon1op]

i loved space jam!

[OnlyRemaining]

Used to love this movie. A lot of people did. Even though it was a huge marketing advertisement, it was very entertaining and fun to watch

[bobthestickman02]

In the last few weeks of school this year, we watched this. Not bad, but I guess it was kind of...uh, loony...*shot for terrible pun*

[DAReich1231]

actually I liked this movie....sorry NC..

[J223522]

I like Space Jam. If he wants to review a bad looney tunes movie than review Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

Love Space Jam!

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

this was one of my favorites as a kid...... hmmmmmmmm

[NinjaNina9]

This movie is a masterpiece of nostalgia in my childhood. My family LOVED it. It isn't shit, it was well put together in my opinion with what was hip at the time. good humor still.

[yuruwha]

I hate critics they are very stupid this kind of thing is an example of entertainment..the purpose is to enjoy the content and not to review..example is an apple..our job is to eat it and not to review its taste..if its delicious its delicious, sour then its sour. Etc.

[mrtonhus]

ahhahhah bug's reaction" ahahahaa

[TheSnowyice]

My brother and I loved this movie! He is the Nostalgia Critic though. :-)

[3fatkid]

at 1:46 daffy sounded just like conker!

[razielance26]

they are still funny..

[cody2819]

*Gasp* Newman!

[NewSuperAvenger]

This was Dougs last episode in YouTube

[Chow985]

Wayne Knight was a fat fuck, fat ass waste of space

[Bauglir100]

@Chow985 Just like that double post of yours.

[Chow985]

Wayne Knight was a fat fuck

[FaLc336]

lol i dont care what he says i luv this movie

[mrbenio]

@FaLc336 I liked it too...

[kdotmj]

@FaLc336 how old are you?

[xAnnabellafulx]

@FaLc336 AMEN!

[Durf0110]

@FaLc336 lul fag

[FALLENSK8ER1995]

just watched this.....made me realize how much i love this movie

[Martialart07]

lol at some comments. People hate when there childhood is bashed. Guys, its HIS opinion!!

[GOGETHAT]

As a child and to this day, I love this movie. I get what your saying, but for me as a young kid there was nothing I'd rather see than the looney tunes play basketball with micheal jordan. I love how the other big basketball players get their talent stolen from them by the monstars. I guess it's just a huge age difference, but for an older guy it does look like a big marketing ploy.

[gurneyman100]

Space Jam was one of my favorite childhood movies growing up. So what if the movie looked like a very long commercial? At least it was entertaining and we saw every Looney Tunes character. And MJ was excellent in this movie. He was just himself and had fun with it. MJ also far surpasses Shaq as an actor and overall, this movie was way better than Kazaam. And let's face it, this was probably the best Looney Tunes movie ever made. Looney Tunes: Back In Action was just garbage.

[ukhistorian]

Don't get me wrong I like the Nostalgia Critic but he's dead wrong about Space Jam being a bad movie. And MJ as a bad actor? MJ was at least better then Shaq in Kazaam.

[TheRhuen]

Its not really a bad movie, a whore concept yes. In fact if you think of it in terms of Loony Tunes movies its actually the best one (seeing as all before it were just long clip episodes with a plot wrapped around them and all since are utter garbage).

[narfire214]

space jam sucked when i was a kid and it sucks now

[hertoiaska]

My favorite movie when i was a child :(

[RyleyAshford]

I like bunny boobies. Don't care for that? Kiss it. =3

[YamiNezumi]

This movies really isn't so bad, I had alot of fun watching this the first time. But I can agree that after the first time it really isn't that fun.

[HrathHeilong]

Space jam wasn't all that bad really

[futboyz]

Space Jam was so not a bad movie, it even introduced a new popular looney tunes character who would be used in many Looney Tunes franchises to come including the upcoming New Looney Tunes Show, Lola.

[tntvideos108]

SJ and Inspector Gadget were bad, but those were the the first movies I've ever seen.

[maumeepanther]

I thaut the movie was prety neat

[dacbiet]

I don't think the movie is that bad. Sure it's milking the success of the Jordan Brand and of course Michael Jordan.

[whostheman6]

I actually thought Space Jam was pretty good.....when I was 10 years old.

[qtippz]

YOU GET FUCKIN SPACE JAM!!!!

[Nanaman12345]

Man, this is one of my ultimate childhood movies. Was it a big commercial? Yes. Was it an AWESOME big commercial? Hell yeah!

[Orthropox14]

i didnt think this movie was that bad but it had its stupid moments

[104msangel]

i didnt think this wasnt bad it was a comercial yes but i like comercials

[dukepro95]

danny devito plays one of the greatest bad guys.

[supermariofan03]

he didn't mention that the alien leader is danny devito

[eraider60]

I think I still have the VHS tape of Space Jam somewhere in my house. I don't think the movie's that bad.
