Atom User Reviews for The First Slam Dunk
I enjoyed it but the main character doesn't do enough as far as basketball skills go but that's a nitpick I enjoyed it for the most part
The movie was amazing!
Great movie! Never seen anything from the Slam Dunk series before and I loved this regardless!
best movie ever
I left the theater thoroughly touched it will have laughing and inspired to persevere no matter the obstacles.
disappointing and sense of humor is different from original
It has story development, character development and always going all out!
Easily the Movie of the Year
Honestly its amazing took 2 of my buddies to see it who didn't know anything about the anime and they both loved it and now want to watch the anime
Amazing movie that provides high fidelity visuals with high quality storytelling!
just watch it people. it grips you till the last minute!
Very good movie! The back story of the main character added weight to the movie and provided a different perspective to the OG amine, though it slowed down the pace of the movie at times. I enjoyed it overall.
Metacritic
I found myself wishing I could watch a real game directed by Inoue, with such careful attention to detail and an acute sense of drama.
Inoue’s film is not just an effective youth melodrama––much as it is that––but a fully sensory action film that deeply understands the raw appeal of its subject beyond wide-angle shots from the bleachers.
The First Slam Dunk is able to throw a relentless series of new gambits, twists, and reversals at the screen that will keep even seasoned sports film fans on the edge of their seat.
