Enjoyed with my son who loves the Teen Titans. They added some extra comedy interjecting relatable commentary on already ridiculous moments of the 90s film. Basically a teen titan riff of it.

Fun way to watch a classic

Not the way to do this
ossie852 March 2022
Clearly an attempt to bring a new generation into the Space Jam world, but they cheaped out.
There was a way to do this, and have it be fun and clever, like Mystery Science Theatre 3000. But clearly there wasn't the time or inclination to do it.
You will likely end up being either Frustrated by the lack of Teen Titans and new story, or be frustrated by the flow of Space Jam being interrupted.

Unnecessary Edit To A Classic Movie Only Meant To Promote Sequel

The Titans are enjoying a summer day of sunbathing when an alien craft appears. The aliens reveal themselves to be the Nerdlucks, which Cyborg recognizes, but the others do not. Thankfully, Pound has a copy on VHS when Starfire wishes to see the film after Cyborg explains it to Raven and Beast Boy, Cyborg invites them in for a screen, despite Robin's protests due to the Nerdlucks being aliens (and movies have made him into a xenophobe that believes all aliens are evil, despite the fact Starfire is an alien herself).
So, technically, this TV movie serves as a sort of spoof of shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax, as the Titans watch the first Space Jam film and give their comments and even have some shennanigans with the Nerdlucks (which includes allowing the group to steal their superpowers). For the movie being viewed, we get an edited version to fit the length of the special, with edits to include commentary from the Titans, as well as to cut or change some elements of certain scenes (which mainly cutting the intro and changing the music to some scenes, possibly due to the use of music that Warner Bros. Possibly no longer has the legal rights to use, and also one of the songs is from R. Kelly, who has since fallen from grace, and even going as far as to censor the use of firearms, which mirrors the controversy the HBO Max-exclusive Looney Tunes cartoons faced for banning them, although they didn't bother to censor the scenes of Swackhammer smoking his cigars, possibly because Cartoon Network allowed it since he was the main villain of the movie).
While it gets a two star for the fun facts, it does run afoul for being in the usual humor Teen Titans Go! Has become infamous for. During the film, Beast Boy has a counter that goes up when the movie gets a shot of a character's rear end (which sounds pretty juvenile, as not everyone, including the target audience of kids, cares for such things) as well as the many jokes aimed at Robin, which sound mean spirited as they're making fun of things from past episodes (like having no powers, baby hands, etc) while the others are stupid enough to let them steal their powers, transforming them into. But at the end of this day, this TV movie was made for one reason and one reason only: to get kids hyped to see Space Jam: A New Legacy, a sequel that ditches the aliens in favor of being set in cyberspace to milk money off being one huge shameless crossover with almost every property under Warner Bros.'s ownership. Only watch if you don't have the Space Jam on DVD or are a TTG fan.

Warning: Spoilers
As much I like teen titans go this movie was a flop what we're they expecting that you watch space jam but why if you already watched the movie with the teen Titans it's just a reaction video but it's not there real reaction it's a script it's just unbelievable how bad this is some parts are funny those are the parts were they don't react to the movie almost 2 hours long! This was a cash grab. And it was bad.
.. yeah I know Space Jam I am a 90s kid

Not what I expected.. unfortunately.
They seriously hit the 'fast-forward-button' (not fast enough for my taste) to make sure the last human being on earth is familiar with Space Jam. Sooo not necessary and not very smart when it comes to advertising SJ2 in my point of view - as it was rather annoying.. why not creating something new with the iconic MonStars?!
Only fun part was the Titans commentary which can be summarized in a 2min youtube vid.
If you are looking for an amazing adventure and you HAVE seen Space Jam already (or if you are not a huge fan of the original movie) - skip it cause you won't miss anything.. unfortunately.

I wanted to watch Teen Titans Go!, not Space Jam.

A very dragging re-frying of that very dated Space Jam movie from my early teenage years, with small icons of the Titans providing side commentary, never as fun or engaging as MST3K or the likes, never. Bummed out. I really wish the Space Jam to go away from it, but you have 1 hour 15 minutes of it...
Similar to Lion King 1.5 (A Commentary)
Hollywood_Yoda15 July 2023
This is the old 1996 Space Jam with Teen Titans Go giving a commentary. That's all it is and it was made for the die hard fans. Why anyone would think it's a brand new movie, is mind boggling!
It might not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy special features or dvd commentaries, this is for those fans. It's similar in nature to The Lion King 1 1/2 where Timon and Pumbaa do the same with their version of the original Lion King. It was fun, so this version of Space Jam should be treated as similar.
This special is meant to be viewed by the fans, and not necessarily newcomers to Looney Tunes or Teen Titans Go. That's how I feel it should be viewed. It is just what it is, a commentary track with animations. This would have made a great special feature on the Space Jam dvd or blu-ray.

Embarrassing cash grab
matthewsimpson-944-8989061 June 2022
So we let our son choose a Dvd to watch at home and he chose this. We've seen Teen Titans before and the 'Go to the Movies' movie is great fun. We assumed more of the same.
However to charge 6 quid for this rubbish is bordering on unethical. It is literally Space Jam the movie (which we already own) with the Teen Titans popping up to comment occasionally. There is almost nothing new here and the title and packaging is very misleading.
Warner Bros have a terrible habit currently of mixing franchises together to sell something 'new' in lieu of actually having a script. Space Jam 2 was like this and so was Scoob!
If I could demand my money back I would. Total garbage- at least if someone reads this review and doesn't buy it some good would have come from our experience!

Waste of time
fabioclaro-531798 September 2021
I'm just here to say that if you already watched the space jam movie you won't miss anything. There's literally nothing special in this movie. I was expecting something like the teen titans go entering the space jam dimension and not a reaction video. I rate 1 star because I'm really mad that i like teen titans go but they did this horrible movie. They literally copied the old space jam. The teen titans go only appears in like 7 minutes the rest is just a movie that i already watched!
genius

Waste of time.
suleymanzadekenan15 September 2021
I wanted watch Teen Titans go but this movie's 1 hour 14 min is just from Space Jam. I like Space Jam but if I wanted to watch Space Jam then I can watch it. I recommend everyone do not watch it, this is just a waste of time. Instead of this u can watch real Space jam.
Skip it, watch them separately
codyc-9485628 September 2021
While the format of characters watching and commenting on another movie can obviously work, it fails here. Ultimately it suffers from not having enough "Teen Titans Go!", while simultaneously not having enough "Space Jam". The movie is transparently an attempt to bring attention to the reboot "Space Jam: A New Legacy", even though it is never explicitly mentioned. There's nothing wrong with that if the result is good, but this is not.
Early on in the movie (as part of the original "Space Jam") there is a scene where the baseball-playing Michael Jordan strikes out, yet is cheered and applauded by the crowd and other players. Even though he stinks at what he's doing now, everyone comes out to see him because he was great at what he did previously. That's this movie. "Space Jam" is MJ's basketball career, "Space Jam: A New Legacy" is his baseball career, "Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam" is WB hoping fans will go see the new (and ignore all its flaws) because they loved the old, and it's kind of sad.
There are a few good jokes, but they are few and far between. There are some lame jokes, but they are also few and far between. There just aren't enough jokes, period. Apparently they don't want to get in the way of the original "Space Jam" by having commentary all over it, but when minutes go by without any Teen Titans popping up, you wonder why they're there in the first place. Things like the butt-shot counter are OK, it fits the group, but when that's the ONLY joke, it wears thin quickly. A large portion of the commentary also centers on shaming the lead villain's smoking (but not the "doping" scene), and covering up the Tune's use of guns (only lead-spitters though, ray-guns (and ACME explosives) are still perfectly fine). Not enough "Teen Titans Go!".
As for "Space Jam", it gets butchered. Almost all the scenes with NBA players are cut. We see Barkley and Ewing get their talent stolen, and that's it. The other three players are never seen, nor the other teams protests against the "infection", the attempts to cure the five players, or Barkley getting schooled on the playground. Other scenes are trimmed as well. Worse, all the licensed music has been stripped out. During MJ's warm up, he no longer "flies like an eagle", he does slow-motion dunks to electronic elevator music. The player introductions at the start of the big game are similarly missing their signature hype music. Near the end, they end the watch party before MJ's return to the NBA, missing an easy setup for at least a couple more jokes about his on-again-off-again basketball career. Not enough "Space Jam". (Interestingly, the cut actors, cut music, and stills from the cut scenes are all still included in the end credits, which are tacked on from the original "Space Jam".)
If you're a "Teen Titans Go!" fan who's never seen "Space Jam", this might hold your interest, but you'd be much better off enjoying them separately.

This movie is so stupid.

Warning: Spoilers
Teen Titans go see Space Jam is got to be the most wasted potential movies in 2021. It's just the Titans watching the original Space Jam which the titans are very annoying in this movie and I hate they remove some of the soundtracks and some of the scenes in the original Space Jam. Which state took the original Space Jam it makes the Titans talk over it with which makes this movie painfully uncomfortable to watch and the Nerdlucks I have no reason to be in this movie they are th barely talk and in it. I don't know the whole plot about the Nerdlucks comes to Earth to meet the Titans which cyborg knows them because they're from the movie Space Jam but the other Titans don't know anything about them and they never Space Jam so they decide to watch Space Jam together with the nerdlucks and Robin doesn't trust the nerdlucks at all, so that's the entire movie it's just the Titans watching the original Space Jam and the Titans talk over it and pause the movie, but sometimes they won't pause the movie they will just let the movie keep on going with it. Now let's talk about the characters in the movie. Robin always not trusting the nerdlucks. Raven keep asking stupid questions. Starfire has awkward one lines. The Beast Boy parts were far worse he has a butt counter which is just so stupid. And the cyborg parts, you know I'm not going to lie. The cyborg parts were pretty interesting. Because he has fun facts you guys going say why? Because he explains alots of fun facts in the movie that everyone don't know about, so yeah cyborg was okay in the movie but he doesn't save this movie whatsoever. Overall this movie was horrible boring painful to watch uncomfortable and wasted potential and if you have people didn't watch it don't watch it it's a waste of time. Just go Watch the original space jam instead of this cash-grab of a movie. 1/10.
What was the point?

Space Jam with Teen Titans Go! Commentary. What was the point of this film? I know this was a marketing tool for promoting Space Jam: A New Legacy but why made a "film" with Teen Titans Go! Characters front and centre if they only appeared in less than 10 minutes in an 83 minutes movie and the rest of the time it's just Space Jam?
