“What a soundtrack … I just rewatched this to be ready for the new one … and wow! I was quite blown away by all the songs on this, that I almost had forgotten about too. Iu0026#39;ve watched the new one too and while for me MJ is the one (you can feel differently about that, we can have different feelings on who is the GOAT, itu0026#39;s all good), when it comes to acting … well LeBron is better for sure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat being said, in a movie like this, there is not much you have to do acting wise. What I did like is that MJ does not take himself too seriously. While he has serious moments in there – the sub story with his dad, that I am certain was very important to him – maybe not so important to viewers who are unaware, but itu0026#39;s a nice touch for sure – overall this is a funny affair.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdd to that some really good actors who have some hits and misses with their jokes (I love Bill Murray, but certain scenes did not age well) – of course this completely ridiculous story (or shall I say … u0026quot;looneyu0026quot;?) is aimed at a younger audience. A now maybe grown up audience that went ahead and watched the new one with their kids. Itu0026#39;s been 25 years since this was released.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is some lessons to be learned here … but overall you should watch it with a grain of salt .. and a lot of suspension of disbelief.”
