4/5

KPop Demon Hunters articulates these battles in metaphor, and it also offers a giddy, glowing and eventually roaring release.

The most disturbing element of Demon Hunters is the subtle message that keeps poking through its bright, frenetic surface: that there’s nothing wrong, or even essentially exploitative, about contemporary fame.

4/5

An animated film showing you “how it’s done, done, done” — as HUNTR/X would put it — this is a stunning musical treat, a joy for all ages. Now warm up the vocal cords and bring on the sequel.

Frankly, I find it a superficial, boring, and aesthetically inconsistent animated film that squanders its narrative opportunities by subordinating its characters to a convoluted discourse on identity. [Full review in Spanish]

3/4

It's a film that kids and K-Pop fans enjoy time and time again - hence its success - and if it wins the awards it's expected to get, it will help to further establish a phenomenon that already goes beyond the limits of music. [Full review in Spanish]

...an unapologetically larger-than-life premise that is, for the most part, employed to egregiously slick and woefully uninvolving effect...

This movie was near perfection due to good story, great character, and great animation. The songs are the biggest highlights. These songs where you can hear the songs over and over due to high energy and catchiness. The best song is Golden. While movie first released on Netflix, this theater is worthy for experience as the song along event. The only issue is the last act feel bit rushed they could make it a bit long to show how the main character can change of heart and reconcile.
