Yeah I know it's supposed to be a fun movie because it's shiny and has western influence diluted kpop music, but does it have any substance?
From what I can tell most people just relate it to Frozen.
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.
It's got some good substance to it. A good story with some fun songs to go with it.
Not sure if you're familiar with the youtuber. But I saw he recently put out a commentary on the movie comparing it to the last Disney one released. He is certainly not a targeted demographic for the movie. But found himself really liking it. I'm certainly not the targeted demographic either at roughly 50 years old. But I might give it a watch as well.
