âSpace Jam: A New Legacyâ is a straight-up caravan of garbage. The film â starring NBA champion and Los Angeles Laker LeBron James â is literally a retread of the original 1996 film with Michael Jordan.
The film opens up with a 1998 flashback of young LeBron losing a youth basketball game because he got too caught up playing a Nintendo Game Boy. He then learns a âlife lessonâ from his coach about always staying focused on his goals without giving into distractions.
The lesson is wise if a little cookie-cutter. Itâs also completely anachronistic for kids to be excited about an
original Game Boy (which came out in 1989) in â98 when the Game Boy Color (which had a full color screen instead of black and white) came out that year.
