The new animated musical on Netflix, K-Pop Demon Hunters, had a lot of buzz and because of that, I moved it into the June Swoon. I also was hoping that I could break the streak of disappointing or downright bad movies that I was on.

I am not a fan of K-Pop music. Nothing against it, but I am completely aware of it. It always felt manufactured to me with boy bands and the such.

I have to say, the music of this movie was sensational and worked so well with every note it used.

According to IMDB, “A world-renowned K-Pop girl group, as they balance their lives in the spotlight with their secret identities as bad-ass demon hunters, set against a colorful backdrop of fashion, food, style and the most popular music movement of this generation.”

The animation on the film was superior. It looked fabulous. The imagery and the colors stood out with every shot. The story itself was a little sparse. Yes, it was a fairly typical story of overcoming personal drama to form together with your family.

I am evidence that you do not need to be a K-Pop fan to enjoy this movie. I thought it was really a fun movie that moved at a brisk pace. It looked great, sounded great and had some wonderful action. It has everything.

4.5 stars
