Solid story with swift but meaningful pacing, great animation and awesome fight choreography, legitimately funny moments, very good casting, and BANGER music. And the fact that they really nailed the Seoul setting and all the poking fun at Korean society is amazing.

It's very much a kids movie but it's a damn GOOD kids movie. I dare you not to be hooked in the first ten minutes. Watch it.

It has no business being as good as it is.

I expected a super shallow silly story. I got a real story with a legit message

I've seen this movie roughly 30 times, not even an exaggeration, due to my youngest son.

The only thing I don't like is how they "resolve" the plotline with her adoptive mother.

I also love that they actually included Korean lyrics in the music. Most kpop songs these days are half-English anyway, so the soundtrack legit sounds like it came straight off a real group's album. Really adds to the authentic vibe of the movie. Getting TWICE members to sing on the soundtrack was also a great decision.

yeah i was expecting her to do something--they even could have addressed it with some cute still image in the credits or a post-credits scene.

tho my headcannon is that how she didnt get resolved is perhaps a deliberate commentary on korean society too

EDIT: thinking on it more, the flashbacks to Rumi wondering if she should just tell the others about her condition and Celine actively stopping her makes it clear to me that it was deliberate that Celine never got the good-guy-resolution

How they resolved it was the best part of the movie. Was more realistic that she had her chance to stop being a bad mom and failed miserably.

It's pretty damn good.

The worst thing about the movie is that my nieces and nephew have seen it and they are ruining the songs by singing them often and loudly :(

from kotaku:

That being said, if your sole exposure to KPop Demon Hunters is a gif of Rumi passionately sniffing and eating kimbap, I do think youll find something to like in the movie. Its beautifully animated with a killer soundtrack, and its just angsty enough that it can feed a fandom for ages. Since the movies already been a pretty big hit, its very likely Netflix and Sony will greenlight the sequel the teams been pondering.

Im torn between How Its Done for the reason you outline above (plus the lines of Heels, nails, blade, mascara/FIT CHECK FOR MY NAPALM ERA are the ones that stick out most in my head from the entire film) and Soda Pop because the double entendre between light fun lovely pop lyrics and them literally feasting on their fans energy is a lot of fun.

What It Sounds Like is a bit too corny for me (but still a great choice).

What It Sounds Like is a little corny, but it's also at the same time very well written for a story-driven song. It stands up to the best Disney songs IMO.

That was... Legitimately good?

tiger with the flower pot was the best scene in the movie and was like the perfect length for the bit

Zoey best girl, her wassup got my biggest laugh of the movie and the leather has betrayed us was number two and also love the kunai choreography and the fact that she opens with a flying headscissors. Coming around on the mirror, mirror line being the 1b to napalm era for the songs as well.

Was the big bad the squid game front man? I could just Google this sure but I feel it enough to not want to

i like zoey a lot, too. with that said, while i generally don't like the scary gangster girl archetype, chicks kicking ass with naginatas are my very specific fetish, so mira takes the cake.

None of the characters are bad, which is shocking to me because I almost always find one in a show/movie/game to direct my hate towards.

That being said Zoey (very slightly) > Mira > Rumi

She felt like a very real character that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to in the sense that we all know someone like that. Not every person gets a redemption arc. Some people don't change. You can't control other people, you can only control yourself - which I think was the message they were going for (and something people should learn early).

Also I recognized her voice too but can't place it
