POSITIVES…
If you're a fan of Lebron James, how could you not want to see this movie?
Those Lebron and NBA references and jokes alone are stuff you are going to enjoy.
Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes are always entertaining to watch.
Kudos to Don Cheadle for throwing himself into the role of King Al G Rhythm.
Ernie Johnson and Lil Rel.
That Tune World sequence.
Mixing the Tunes with other worlds? I can dig it.
Looney Tunes style basketball does look like chaotic fun.
Slapstick, wacky, and self-aware humor.
A visual smorgasbord of different styles that works well for this movie.
The generally efficient narrative makes up for the "two hours is way too long for this movie" runtime.
It does have a solid thematic lesson behind this story that I can absolutely get behind.
"You know I got full court vision."
"... and athletes acting, that never goes well."
NEGATIVES…
Familiar plot progression and tropes make this quite a bit derivative.
Lebron James is simply hit or miss while acting in this one.
Stupid, nonsensical, and questionable, plot points that is just cringe.
The shameless plugs of Warner Bros properties can get embarrassing to see.
So many integrated promotional ads into the story and visuals. May as well make a drinking game out of it.
Tonally skewed between being a kids movie or just a nostalgia easter egg machine for older geeks.
Basketball purists may not care for the alterations to the game.
