KPop Demon Hunters (movie)

United States - Animation

HUNTR/X dominates the K-pop charts with adoring fans all over the world. Superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey have more to hide from the public eye than typical idols... they are demon hunters secretly protecting the world from a hidden threat. But the demons find a new way to fight back using a secret weapon: their own boy band.

This movie gave us some unexpected feels. We expected popcorn and got a whole meal. The story explores deeper themes of friendship/found family, growth, and self acceptance wrapped in a fun kpop bubble. As kdrama and kpop fans, we found this movie extra fun.

We enjoyed this movie overall, but here are a few things we really appreciated:

Inclusion of South Korean language/culture

Really great music

Good story with positive messages

Great cast list of actors and musical talent

Ending: they won...

Tears: This hit us hard in the feels and real tears were shed. But we dialed the sadness rating back because ultimately it is still meant for a younger audience and can't compare the the angst in full dramas.

my best friends and i got a decade old piece of miraculous fanart signed by Cristina vee and bryce papenbrook and we did NOT cry

NEED NOT WANT.
