As a movie, it is a failure, the plot is old-fashioned, a basketball superstar saves a group of animated stars or a group of children's story; the mood of the whole movie does not have a particularly prominent change; the scene is unremarkable, even the first 20 of the movie Minutes are completely editing Jordan's wonderful moments.
However, it was such a "failure" work that created an unparalleled precedent in the history of animation.
It has to be said that as an animation work, "Slam Dunk in the Air" created a new era in the animation industry of live action + animation movies. This film, 20 years ago, won 230 million yuan in box office. It makes sense.
There are also many film reviews on the Internet, but I am inclined to the following amidst the scolding:
this is a mixed cartoon and real-life film, starring Michael Jordan and guest appearances by many stars, plus these cartoon characters are all classics of the past. , With the help of the computer special effects artist, a very fun children's film was formed. "Slam Dunk in the Air" is not so much a movie, as it is a super long Jordan solo show and Nike commercial. Although the response of film critics and fans is polarized, the amazing box office and strong video tape sales are enough. Make every boss smile. (Timeline Review)
Instead of evaluating the quality of this film, it is better to think about the meaning of this film. For the audience, this is undoubtedly a boring film; but for animators, this film is undoubtedly Twenty years ago, I gave everyone a new idea, a new way of thinking, and created a new era.
By the way, I look forward to "Slam Dunk 2" scheduled to be released at the end of this year.
