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.

2/5

The film was conceived by Korean American Maggie Kang and it benefits from a knowing humour, playing affectionately with its stereotypes.

8/10

The film builds a story of love, overcoming adversity, and self-acceptance, and goes beyond the visuals by incorporating nods and representations of Korean culture often seen in anime. [Full review in Spanish]

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.
