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 is an American production through and through. If this was made in Korea it would have Korean voices with subtitles. It's not as egregious as when Matt Damon saved China or Tom Cruise was the last samurai but it's up there somewhere.\ \ My final thoughts don't even matter at this point but here it i

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 elements, particularly Rumi literally battling her inner demons while serving as Earth's protector. Mira’s stoic but honest nature added a great balance to the group. The use of music as a source of power in a contemporary sense was a standout. Once again, Sony Animation delivers with this fun and heartfelt tribute to

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 discover that he too has issues - dare one even say "demons" - he even has his own lament, so is there even a glimmer of hope that she might end up turning him? The almost doll-like style of animation didn't really work for me; their big eyes and fake smiles didn't resonate and I found the overall s
