Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

"The original film is a tough act to follow, but this sequel managed to fill its big shoes. It maintained the first film’s charming strangeness and hysterical hijinks while elevating it to a modern age. I loved sooo many things about it. Catherine O’Hara was the clear standout for me. If she was humorous in the original, than she is laugh-out-loud hilarious in this film. I never stopped laughing when she was on screen. Michael Keaton was, of course, marvelous, bringing the zeal of the Beetlejuice we know and love. Jenna Ortega was also a breath of fresh air in this cast. She brought a sense of reality and sincerity that grounded the movie. The plot was entertaining as hell. It was a rollercoaster. I never knew where it was going and I was just happy to be along for the ride. The movie isn’t without its faults though. The plot is structured strongly from the beginning and the middle but kind of flounders at the end. It’s like Burton needed to quickly tie up loose ends which left some plot holes, albeit minor ones. Another critique that pains me is of Winona Ryder. Winona is my GIRL. I love anything she’s in but her performance was definitely the weakest of the principle cast. It just wasn’t there in comparison. Over all though, this film really lived up to the hype!!!"

"They should’ve left the classic alone and not make another one, even though there were some parts that were funny. This movie was really bad."

" A somewhat darker and occasionally goofier sequel. With a lot more subplots than the original and side characters. Though I suppose it is still a worthy follow up. It just needs to grow on me a little. It definitely is rushed though. When we want to spend more time with these characters. Especially Beetlejuice."

"I enjoyed this movie its not close to the classic film, but it was still a good watch. The acting was great especially Keaton’s performance. It has the same weird vibe from the original, but it’s just more modern. Lastly what I have to say is the only uncomfortable thing was the ending. "

"I am not sure what I thought of this film. I knew most of the plot. Some things surprised me as there were no hints to go off of for some of it. I got like at least 90% of the plot correct with my guesses though. I think I would watch it again, but I don't think this is one I would buy. I enjoyed the first one better. "

"Great movie actually usually sequel suck but this movie was good "

"I liked it. It was weirder than I expected it to be but kept the tone close enough considering the 30-odd year gap. I appreciate that they kept the sand worm claymation although updated it to not look so fake. I think the multiple stories were doing too much. They were all good storylines just not long enough to really flush them out. I think simplifying it or lengthening the runtime would have helped make it feel less rushed. "

"Perfect for the Halloween season, I like the vibe it's giving off, but it could have been better."

"How often do we see movies that stick with us for life return over a decade, including mostly all original characters with production AND making another lifetime impact. Such a fun experience with my family! "

"For a legacy sequel, it was alright. Glad that most of the original cast came back, and they did very good! Especially Micheal Keaton (The Ghost with the most). It was pretty fun and decent. I had a good and fun time, maybe you and your family will too! Recommend!"
