Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - Review - Much to My Surprise…I Did Not Hate It

[@kfitz2711]

Speaking of Catherine O’Hara, I’d like to hear your take on all the Christopher Guest movies.

[@RobertQuant]

Catherine o hara best movies are Thd home alone and beetlejuice juice movies 😅

[@adamw116]

​@@RobertQuantYou obviously haven't seen Mighty Wind!

[@FRCB]

I didn’t know Tim Burton directed Peewee’s Big Adventure (mind blown). I learned something new today

[@Menstral]

Clueless

[@Alicia_1970]

I totally forgot he directed it and I've watched that movie 100 times 😆🤦‍♀️

[@adamw116]

His first feature. So funny how Singles was his first real introduction to the mainstream ala Cameron Crowe. Just kidding he did Batman before and I think by that time was prepping Planet of the Apes.

[@CinemaMack]

Just finished seeing it myself. I went in expecting the worse, but I really enjoyed it.

[@nevskislake]

Dude, I kind of threw up in my mouth when you called Tim Burton's Dark Shadows movie, "satisfying." I know...to each their own. I am just teasing. Anyway, thank you for this review. I am glad to hear that Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice did not suck.

[@joshdea7]

That’s one of those movies that I actually liked even though I can recognize it’s not a good movie. I just got out of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, it’s way way better than Dark Shadows. If you like the original, it’s very close in terms of quality,

[@calmcg6885]

As a youngish movie freak, we know that people can still rock the house with great practical effects. We just gotta be curious enough to seek out movies like Terrifier or Psycho Goreman that scratch the itch that formed being shown movies like Beetlejuice and The Goonies as kids by Gen X parents. I’m glad to see that a big studio release is finally picking up the mantle though, it’s been too long.

[@teppeiando]

Big Eyes is probably my favorite Burton film of this century

[@MrJoshuaGray]

Took my girlfriend last night. We both enjoyed it! Plenty of laughs and great creativity!! Definitely laughed when it came to how they used the word Fuck in a PG-13 film. The Willem Dafoe character’s catchphrase ‘Keep it Real’ felt like a meta joke of using practical effects over cgi.

[@DrDetfink]

That’s a relief. Burton has a habit of going overboard in his sequels. We can always revive the Beetlejuice cartoon.

[@Lebowski55]

Wes Anderson, another Director with an immediate recognizable style. Also, Jenna Ortega apparently is 21, not exactly approaching 30

[@annettelouise6781]

Keaton is 73. Still time for a 3rd one. haha

[@ziggy8253]

Keaton is 30 years older than me?? 🫢

[@adamw116]

Nahhh Beetlegeuse is kind of one joke, I liked it and love Keaton but it's just not as good as others. I would like to see Burton do something with Keaton again, original. To make up for Dumbo!

[@spencerrebosmax7915]

I appreciate your take on this film! Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is my favorite Tim Burton film.

[@SeekingGodsWill]

The notion of putting my fingers in my mouth near my computer has me in a very Beetlejuice mood now. Thank you James.

[@deadmanandthebullet]

Ortega isn't almost 30..she's only 21

[@annettelouise6781]

Love how you always mention your celebrity crushes. I have crushed on more celebrities than real life people and I get teased about it. I maintain it is completely normal!!! :P

[@Menstral]

In general, obsession with fame is a low IQ phenomenon

[@KrystleLovesHorror]

Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci are a couple, so you are not wrong on that assessment, my friend! 😆 Glad to hear this is good! 😃👍

[@ElenaChristinne]

Growing up watching the cartoon and showed my kids the movies. Now they're worried the sequal might just ruin everything. We're watching tomorrow.

[@MrJoshuaGray]

Felt like more of what we loved from the original

[@ElenaChristinne]

@@MrJoshuaGray We had so much fun!! I want to watch it again, I had so much fun, wanted to hear more of Beetlejuice wife's backstory

[@MrJoshuaGray]

@@ElenaChristinne I want to see it again! The scenes with the drunk priest has me laughing to myself constantly. And the big musical number has me humming that tune

[@ziggy8253]

Not enough Keaton in this sequel. Whenever he’s not on the screen, the movie slows down considerably.

[@jacobsalas1141]

James you bugging "Big Fish" was a beautiful movie. Respectfully disagree with you on that one.

[@NextWorldVR]

Big Fish was amazing. But I can understand that small brains would simply not get it!

[@MrJoshuaGray]

Love Big Fish. Need to watch it again soon.

[@adamw116]

One of Burton's best obvious labors of love, very underrated, heartfelt film.

[@freegadflyathome]

Thank you! I don't understand at all why gina davis and alec Baldwin aren't in this. I was under the impression that they couldn't leave the house and became the most important people in Winona ryder's life. And they don't even acknowledge it! They could have maybe gotten different actors and made a supernatural reason why they look different...as cool as it would have been to see the two return. Seems weird.

[@johnaslover]

James, have you read the "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian" script? It's a blast. We were robbed of the opportunity to see Beetlejuice as a merman.

[@marca5883]

Shocked it didn't suck 💚🇬🇧🌱 good job J🫶

[@butchersrespawn]

I became a big fan of Jenna wearing the white underwear in X. I can watch her 24/7 compared to Anya Taylor. Jenna has that on-screen appeal that just lures me to her. To me, she is a young Angelina before all the fame. Can't wait for Jenna to lead her own franchise action hero role in the future.

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

I saw this tonight and absolutely loved it and I thought that little baby Beetlejuice was hilarious and also was kind of disturbing for a PG-13 movie and I also thought when they used their one F-Bomb allotment for a PG-13 was absolutely hilarious too when Beetlejuice stamps the ghost’s card and says “see ya fucker!!!” or “Got ya fucker!!!!” Whatever the exact phrasing was I don’t remember all I remember was laughing my ass off so hard and a lot of Michael Keaton’s one-liners actually worked for me like “Now she’s back and she’s pissed.” Which, shouldn’t be so funny to me just a simple vulgar comment like that but, it actually made me almost piss my pants with laughter much like several other sequences in the film where Beetlejuice was involved.

[@MrJoshuaGray]

Yes. Something along the lines of ‘As Dostoevsky said, Got ya, Fucker!’

[@RobertQuant]

Michael Keaton likes to cuss when he’s playing beetlejuice 😅😅😅😅

[@CB-qg3yh]

Completely and totally off topic, but ive recently fallen head over heels with Star Trek TNG. Its become my new religion. Better late than never i suppose. Id love to see you talk about TNG more

[@butchersrespawn]

It got better when Riker wore the beard. Same with Sisko in a Goatee in DS9.

[@irri4662]

Ty 😎👍🏼

[@MasonGrant0704]

I don't support many sequels or blockbusters in theaters anymore, but I do love the first movie and I'm curious about this one. Burton has talked about making a Beetlejuice 2 for years and I like that he has said that he doesn't want to make a 3rd movie.

[@myytchanneldinakoha8498]

5:53 ‘adult filmmaker’ -hehe

[@divineglitch9550]

thanks for keeping it real

[@eumesm9770]

14:27 Finally, a spoiler video.

[@halo2something]

sleepy hollow is not 2nd tier

[@chaberio1335]

You hated Big Fish?!?! Monster lol

[@franciscoantonio5306]

Big Fish is great. The Frick lol

[@RobertParks-h7r]

Let's be honest ,is there anyone out there who is not a Jenna Ortega fan?What is she 21, and one of the most popular and reconized actresses of the last 8 yrs.

[@ziggy8253]

It’s nothing special. It’s not going to make my list. But it’s a fun flick.

[@JediBubba-5-77]

Jenna Ortega turns 22 this month

[@johnburnside7828]

To anyone who was a fan of the original TV show, Burton's "Dark Shadows" was an abomination!

[@tom-vj9lz]

22 days till Megalopolis

[@arenavisionTV]

Awful

[@limonsoda]

Dark Shadows is terribly bad.

[@treystephens6166]

I can’t watch this!!! Hey everybody I can’t watch this!!!

[@JohnMack-f3f]

I will likely skip this. The reviews are too middling.

[@NextWorldVR]

Reviewers are too middling

[@JohnMack-f3f]

@@NextWorldVR yeah, which basically makes the movie unwatchable garbage, considering their standards of storytelling and quality movies.

[@Menstral]

Movies are NOT too long. You have confused the menu with the dinner. I have never seen a movie I liked that didn't benefit from the extra time, but countless movies have been made absolutely terrible by trying to edit them to a certain runtime. A bad movie isn't made any better by extending the length, and most movies are mainstream, and they aren't very good. That's the actual problem. A 'bad' movie simply doesn't get any better, so a longer version of a bad movie only prolongs the pain. But if I am going to make reservation to go to the movie and drive to the movie theater and sit through previews, and then here's some movie critic blather on about it.... then trust me, I can handle the movie being 15 - 20 - 30 minutes longer. I think/know that in the past this was often a function of film as a medium, and a function of the tediousness of the editing process, along with shipping reels of film. Now, the same content can be produced for less pain and less effort.

[@decimustv4257]

Tim Burton is a poor film maker now. He seems to be very formulaic. I think he doesn't try anymore to do anything decent and this film is just very average. A typical Hollywood movie that is filled with so many repeated ideas that if you are a seasoned movie watcher, you feel nothing because you are so familiar with it that it bores you to your very soul.

[@verkpunk]

I hated the shit out of this movie. Keaton was great as Beetlejuice, but the other 90 minutes were complete dogshit. Burton needs to retire.

[@TobeyStarburst]

Damn your old lol
