I enjoyed this movie, but boy do I have issues with the storytelling and the glamorizing of K-pop idols' lives. SPOILERS AHEAD: 1. Rumi was born part-demon, right? Her mother was a demon hunter and her father was a demon, which implies that not all demons are evil, right? Yes? No? We are never told how Rumi's mother died and we are never told what happened to Rumi's father, but I highly doubt that Rumi's mother was tricked into a relationship by a demon long enough to have a child. 2. All demons are supposed to be banished when the Honmoon is sealed, so how the heck is the cat and the crow still there, also, why do we even have a demon cat and crow? They're cute, but what are they? Are there "true demons" like Gwi-Ma, the cat and the crow, and "enslaved demons" like Jinu and his boy band? 3. Gwi-Ma enslaves other demons and practically tortures them with their shame for all etern…
I don't want to say anything because I don't want to create expectations and this is one of those films where I'd recommend going in as blind as possible. – But don't sleep on this movie! Even if nothing about the premise of this movie appeals to you, I would still say it's worth watching.
Jinu can Soda Pop me inside out any day of the week.
KPop Demon Hunters is a visual and musical treat that takes you on a wild ride through a world inspired by K-pop, anime, and the Spider-Verse. The animation is so colorful and creative that it’s like a kaleidoscope explosion! The music is catchy and upbeat, and the story is layered with depth and emotion. Arden Cho and the rest of the voice cast do amazing jobs bringing the characters to life. The main character, Rumi, is on a journey of self-discovery, and it’s really heartwarming to see how much they grow and learn. The film does have a few minor flaws, like some uneven tones and underdeveloped secondary characters, but overall, it’s a fun and entertaining fantasy parody of pop culture. It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves K-pop, anime, and just great storytelling.
This might be my new favorite Sony Pictures Animation movie ever!!!!!!!!!!! KPop Demon Hunters excels from start to finish in every facet, including its animation, music, characters, and story. Sony is definitely showing us, "how it's done, done, done".
OK, so I really am not the demographic - by about forty-five years - for this, but once it got going I didn't hate it! It's all about the "Huntrix" - a group of feisty girls whose adoring fans don't realise that they have a double-indentity. By day they are the pop stars with millions of screaming fans - but by night they are fearsome demon hunters. Tired of their successes on both fronts, the demons decide it is time to fight back and so craft an ultimate in manufactured boy bands that might impress even Simon Cowell. "Saja Boys" are handsome, floppy haired and extremely skinny boy-next-door types who take social media by storm. They have a more sinister agenda, though, and their leader "Jinu" sets his sights on the mentally compromised "Rumi" - a woman with quite a secret of of her own - as as way to undermine and defeat the "Huntrix" once and for all. As he hones in on his target, we …

I really enjoyed the film — the trio of Huntrix members, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, were fantastic! I especially loved the underlying theme that fame is often a facade. Zoey was my favorite — her bubbly personality was so infectious. I also really dug the supernatural ele…
K-Pop Demon Hunters was recommended to me but I am very disappointed. The movie starts and the first thing I see is what looks like AI generated visuals touched up by humans. Not saying that's what it is or isn't, that's what it looks like. Soulless. Next thing I hear is "this person comes from the United States"... and I was like wait... all the voices are in American English so what are you talking about? I notice every character looks asian but they speak (American) English and everything about them and about the world, the writing, the characters, the story, everything just oozes American. Sure, you can point out that the voice actors all have Korean heritage as well as most working on this film but that doesn't change that what I see and hear on my tv doesn't feel in any way authentically Korean. That's it's written and directed by a woman of Korean descent doesn't change that this …
