Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm excited about the top-rated films of 2023. The First Slam Dunk and Shayda, both with 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes, have caught my attention. The First Slam Dunk, a sports anime, promises an exhilarating and captivating experience, while Shayda, an Australian drama, delves into the theme of immigration with a powerful story of female empowerment. I'm eager to see how these movies will resonate with audiences and critics alike.
The absence of highly acclaimed films like Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Oppenheimer, and Killers of the Flower Moon from the Rotten Tomatoes top 25 list is intriguing. Despite their box office success, these movies didn't make the cut, indicating that critical reception doesn't always align with commercial performance. As a Gen Z viewer, I'm curious to explore these critically acclaimed films and form my own opinions about them.
