My friend keeps telling me to watch kpop demon hunters. I am almost certain it's a mid tier garbage movie but just because it has a couple catchy songs and good animation it appeals to the general masses.

Can anybody confirm or deny this?

Does it have substance?

It's a kids' movie first and foremost, but it's not out and out stupid if that's what you're asking.

I'd say it's got like a C for writing and an A for presentation. It's pretty, well executed, and the songs are solid. It's no Wreck-It Ralph, though.

The issue I have is my friend believes it to be some kind of storytelling masterpiece that makes people cry.

Nah, I mean I can see why someone might feel that way, but it's missing a good chunk of plot resolution after the big third act twist, going into the big climax. Kinda just floats by on vibes from there on.

Sounds like your friend is a Koreaboo. It's time for the intervention.
