Movie Reviews
Charming, funny & impressive
I thought only anime did this
This is probably the less useful review but I couldn't help notice: the movie is an abridgement of a series - in other words if you saw the series then you wasted your money on the ticket. The most heard complaint after the lights were back on and everyone walked toward the exit was "That's it? it felt so short". And even with 84 minutes lenght it does fall short for both fans and non fans - who don't get a single explanation on who are the BTS members and how it all began, just a glimpse. I wish they started from their childhood if possible. And the songs aren't shown fully, which would add more minutes at least. I don't mean to say the documentary is bad. it's got all the ingredients: love, drama, tears and comedy. But it doesn't dig deeper and the message is concise: "thank you fans for supporting us". That's all. In the movie the stage is compared to a desert and the band's quench for glory and perfection is insatiable. So if you still feel thirsty, go watch the YT series and some interviews. This movie is barely a tiny cup.
Not just for the fans
Anyone who wants to understand this cultural phenomenon largely underestimated and misrepresented by mainstream media should give this movie a try if they can.
