It seemed like every 10 minutes there was an epic slow motion fight with a pop song slowed down in the background. If it wasn't for the cameos I don't think this movie gets the hype it's getting.

I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it kinda sounds like the music detracts from the film?
Music is crucial in film and TV, with its ability to evoke powerful emotions and nostalgia. The use of well-known songs--even annoying and cloy pop songs, especially when slowed down--creates a poignant atmosphere and can even enhance the storytelling.
This isn't just for the tik tok generation; it's a deliberate artistic choice that taps into our collective cultural memory. You see it in commercials all the time, using music to evoke specific emotions and memories deliberately chosen from and/or targeted towards a specific generation.
While the cameos add to the hype, the soundtrack is essential in creating a more immersive and resonant experience. Music in film and marketing makes the product more appealing and unforgettable.
