Michael Jordan's HORRIBLE acting ruined the movie

In his defence,

He is not an actor and I don't think he really claims to be one, the opportunity came up and he gave it his best shot.

Most of the scenes would have been shot without any other actors/characters as he largely talked to animation, which would make things harder.

But obviously you're right, to say his acting wasn't flash is talking him up; he was better at baseball than acting.....


In defence of the Fans giving it a 10 -

Many would have seen it as a small child and idolised the movie, it's plausible that some would still rate this as there favourite movie, largely because it's connected with favourite childhood memory's.

It's rated very low, now a 5.9 but previously a 5.4, some people would definitely give it a 10 as a 'counter weight'.

But once again you are right, it's obviously not a 10/10 and it's dating poorly.

Did you really watch this movie with the intention and purpose of seeing a brilliant, or even decent, acting performance by Jordan? First of all he's a basketball player not an actor, and second, HE'S PLAYING HIMSELF!!!

Space Jam was his first movie as a leading actor and not only that but most of his scenes were surrounded by green screens, interacting with places, objects and characters that don't exist!
