I thought the new one was abysmal. It's been a long time since I've watch the first but I kinda remember it being more of a Looney Tunes cartoon that, while totally about Michael Jordan, didn't rely on him to entertain the audience. The new one tries to have Lebron James pull along a story and his acting is so bad (Michael's wasn't great either but, again, the first smartly wasn't trying to do that).

Cheadle was also completely uninteresting compared to what I remember from De Vito's villain. Obviously they're both cartoonishly evil but Cheadle just came across annoying versus De Vito's fun (it probably helps that one was a cartoon). And then the Goon Squad was just boring in comparison to the Monstars. The Goon Squad didn't get much character than maybe 1 scene each whereas the Nerdluck/Monstar's were a prominent feature of the movie.

And 2 felt really cheap. I didn't like a lot of the 2D, especially in some of the references. The worst was the crowd of WB properties at the game looked extremely cheap. The costumes were just awful and they did weird canned animations the whole time, which I guess makes production sense because they're not actually reacting to anything but it just looks dumb. And I think the cartoon crowd were all kinda poor CG. The CG Looney Tunes looked pretty great though.

Gonna have to rewatch the first but I at least remember that mostly just being Looney Tunes fun.
