Michael Keaton hasn't played Beetlejuice in 36 years and the moment he came back, he didn't miss a single beat, it felt like it was just yesterday that he played Beetlejuice for the first time. So happy to see him in great shape playing this role 🤗

One of my concerns, and I have yet to see the movie, is that now in to his 70's he wouldn't be as energetic to be as hyperactive and manic as the character is. But you've my fears to rest. I just hope It's a worthy successor to the first one.

It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed in a movie theatre. I felt like I was watching a classic VHS movie I discovered at blockbuster, which is how I saw the original Beetljuice as a kid. It was SO much fun being in that world again. I burst out laughing when Willem Dafoe did his "sneaking around graveyard" to the church. Every "slow" storypoint in the beginning just melted together perfectly by the third act. What a great movie experience. It sure as hell isn't oscar worthy material but damn, if this wasn't a fun time at the theatres, I don't know what is anymore.

I knew this one going to be good by the way that Michael Keaton was gushing about it. Michael Keaton doesn't gush about his own movies, not even Batman. If you watch him in most interviews he typically wants to talk about anything but the movie he's promoting. He directed a movie this year and did hardly any promotion for it. He has been so excited about this movie I knew it would be good.

I rather think an overabundance of gushing reports from the cast can often be cover for an underwhelming movie. While many liked the film, including me, its not very good. Its got some really serious plot and character problems. Its over stuffed and yet half-baked at the same time. It really needed someone to tighten it up as I think there were elements in there that could have made a terrific movie. I think Burton was so frightened of putting out another dud that he was trapped in the headlights so to say and couldn't bare to let any of the story elements go.

It’s understandable why they’re not in this film (Alec Baldwin’s controversy for instance), though I do agree that the Maitlands were the heart of the original (a mundane, dead couple from a rural town trying to scare a wealthy, urban family away from modernizing their home). Without them, I wonder who’s going to be the “straight man” for this one?

I think that's because we've become used to oversaturated trailers that basically spell movies out for you. I don't know your age, so I don't know if you remember when trailers were cryptic and didn't give much away, but it was definitely a better time. We haven't had sparse trailers, like this one, in a long time. The downside being that, you now run a risk of them not hooking people, because they're giving so little away.

i totally disagree with you, the thing is everything must be judge based on its own merits, the review should not by bias by neither nostalgia nor modern polish, heres several examples: - best jurassic park movie: def number 1, it just is - best 2d Mario: def Mario wonder, this is a very controversial one, for me personally it was Super Mario World for more than 30 years, but wonder is better, sorry - best COD campaign: IMO BO 6, LOL but not by a longshot - Metallica's best Album: IMO Master of puppets (or Justice for All its arguable) - Best Resident evil game: RE 2 REMAKE (yes, the remake) yes a long comes down to personal taste, my problem is when that personal taste is influenced by BIAS, and in the worst cases (like yours) when they havent even tried all of them Now that ive seen beetlejuice 2 once and 1 like a million times, i enjoyed both just as much

My first thought as the credits rolled was: "I waited 36 years for THAT?" Between positive response I was seeing from the general public online and how Michael Keaton raved about it, I was unprepared for how little it met my expectations. Many new characters, none of them fleshed out in the slightest. They were trying to fit in a million things, but didn't devote any time to any of it. I didn't think the ex-wife character or the Willem Dafoe character were really needed. I would've liked to see more meat around the story of Astrid's fake boyfriend and Astrid's father in the afterlife. And I was waiting for one single mention of Otho that never came. Glenn Shadix is a legend and too big a part of the first film to not have been mentioned once. (It would've been great to mention Otho as still alive somewhere, because Shadix actually died in 2010...but Otho just wants nothing to do with the paranormal anymore, lol). And why not a Dick Cavett cameo? He's still kicking. Even would've been fitting for Delia to talk with him at the end of the film, if you know what I mean (not to give anything away). Loved Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara though. Excellent evolution of the two female characters and Keaton picked up right where he left off.

Similar to My thoughts. It seemed to have everything but a strong core plot to drive it forward, leaving the movie lacking heft or stakes. It seemed to spend a lot of time meandering about before any of the threads really kicked in and then what had been a bit of a slow film seemed to be ending very suddenly. The plot about Astrid's boyfriend should probably have been the central story; it had stakes and emotional weight. I loved Willem Defoe's character (he really gives the role his all), but he had so little of consequence to do; ditto Monica Bellucci. If they had tightened up the story, jettisoned bloat like The Soul Train and Charles Deetz's bizarre and repeated appearances, they would have had a really good movie on their hands. As it is I think its riding on the back of nostalgia, Keaton's flawless performance as the titular ghoul and the spooky season mood it ladles on in lashings. I mean what more could you ask for in a film opening the Autumn season, but an upstate New England small town in the Fall setting, filled with Autumnal sun shafting through golden leaves and pumpkins aplenty? Even with the fundamental story telling problems, its very hard to hate the thing.

@@mrbeast85 I thought it was the lamest ending. Stark contrast to the first film, which is one of the BEST endings of all-time. It was more of a musical than a comedy. A little influence from the Broadway show, maybe? The first film had so many great quotable moments and one-liners, from a few different characters. I don't hate it. Keaton, O'Hara, and Ryder prevent me from hating it. But I'm very disappointed. Constant mention of Charles was in poor taste, honestly. We all know why the actor isn't in it. As for the great love of it, I don't think standards are what they used to be. It's also kind of missing a down-to-earth everyday character that sort of fills that void left by Barbara and Adam.

I was raised very similarly to you, Chris, (very religious) and not allowed to see movies like Beetlejuice as a kid. So i dont have nostalgia for it either. But my husband does! And I am looking forward to watching it for the first time with my 11 yr old, and then watching the sequel together as a family. Doing the same thing with reading and viewing the Harry Potter series. Experiencing it for the first time through the eyes of my child is almost as good, if not better than having my own childhood nostalgia. 💜

As a 90s girl who grew up watching beetlejuice for 25 years, I loved and really appreciate how much beetlejuice was appearing in this movie I loved that! And I loved the touch of modernness of this era(cellphones, tesla etc), but I needed more story, more in dept of these characters, like the boyfriend, I thought his story was as very interesting but I feel like I blinked and the movie was over. They have to give these classic movies more respect, and give them 2 hours they deserve. I enjoyed this 1 hour movie a lot, but it makes me sad that I was left wanting to see more. This one didn't live up to the first one. Still enjoyable

For all those that gave this movie good reviews what movie were you watching I found Beetlejuice very disappointing especially having to wait 36 years for it to come out. I really felt they had a long list of all the things they had to include in the movie they totally forgot to make any sense on how the movie was going to be written I can somewhat under why Jeffrey Jones wasn’t in the movie but that animation that they had on to explain his non appearance was was really stupid. I love it when Geena Davis said she didn’t appear cause Ghosts don’t age If that’s true why did Micheal Keaton who played Beetlejuice aged big time. LOL

Yeah, but that's not actually the case with this one. Fans have been consistently asking for a sequel for 30+ years, and it's been in development hell, with multiple scripts, for almost that entire time - especially when Keaton refused to reprise the role without Burton when the studio tried to move forward without Burton, but weren't going to do it without Keaton. This sequel was _very much_ asked for, by millions of fans.
