My friend keeps telling me to watch kpop demon hunters. I am almost certain it’s a mid tier garbage movie but just because it has a couple catchy songs and good animation it appeals to the general masses.

Can anybody confirm or deny this?

    Its an enjoyable movie. IMO it’s not garbage. Its not S tier, but it’s a good fun movie.

      Yeah I know it’s supposed to be a fun movie because it’s shiny and has western influence diluted kpop music, but does it have any substance?

      From what I can tell most people just relate it to Frozen.

        Does it have substance?

        It’s a kids’ movie first and foremost, but it’s not out and out stupid if that’s what you’re asking.

        I’d say it’s got like a C for writing and an A for presentation. It’s pretty, well executed, and the songs are solid. It’s no Wreck-It Ralph, though.

            Nah, I mean I can see why someone might feel that way, but it’s missing a good chunk of plot resolution after the big third act twist, going into the big climax. Kinda just floats by on vibes from there on.

        It’s got some good substance to it. A good story with some fun songs to go with it.

        Not sure if you’re familiar with the youtuber. But I saw he recently put out a commentary on the movie comparing it to the last Disney one released. He is certainly not a targeted demographic for the movie. But found himself really liking it. I’m certainly not the targeted demographic either at roughly 50 years old. But I might give it a watch as well.
