Saw KPop Demon Hunters. Easy 5/5.
I haven’t heard a lot of Korean music, especially its pop genre but this film was damn awesome. The main characters, being goofy trash gremlins, are the highlights of the film. The animation is absolutely stunning in both serious and funny moments. The visuals that accompanied the song were beautiful, so props to the animation team and storyboarding team of working that together. Despite the fast pacing, I thought the plot was airtight and didn’t feel like it overstayed its welcome in each scene. I was surprised they didn’t go for the romance—they stay fully committed for his death being absolute.
The only complaints I have are relatively minor. Needs more backstory for the other characters like Mira and Zoey, and especially Celine regarding Rumi. And a deeper dive into the demon world as well—but that might as well be a sequel (or a series?).
Fun movie!!
