Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - Movie Review

[@EPShockley]

No interesting, or we’ll done new characters, & the original cast members, while it was good to see them, they were no longer the characters we were so happily introduced to, back in’88! Keaton was okay, but BJ was too restrained, & not the crazy M-er F-er he was, 36 years ago! Even Catherine O’Hara’s Delia wasn’t given anything worth her talents, in this one. We should have met BJ, still with the shrunken head, & still waiting on the couch, in the afterlife waiting room! (Remember the enormously long number he had, at the end of the first flick?) Winona wasn’t even Lydia, anymore. & she’s just not a good enough actress to carry so much of any flick! (Remember Bram Stoker’s Dracula?🤦‍♂️) BTW… If they have to actually bleep Beetlejuice’s F-bomb, then why in the Hell even have him say it?! (The original flick was PG rated, & he got one through, but people are so damned pussified nowadays!) It was just so lacking of anything funny! (And the ridiculously lame “MacArthur Park” think went on for faaaaar tooooo lonnnng!🤦‍♂️) Willem Dafoe was too old for the part he was playing! (Most cop/action actors aren’t doing their own stunts in their late 60’s!) There’s so much more to pick apart in this fiasco, but…perhaps another time. 🤦‍♂️💀🪲🧃
