Episode 243: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Movie Review

[@DrLeroyGreen]

6:06 I'm sure Jeff Jones would have come back. However, he had some file trading to do.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Oh my!!! I had not even heard about any of that! Now I wish they had not included him at all! And better yet that I had skipped over talking about it in my review!

[@joshgorsky5224]

completely agree with this review. I’m shocked at the gushing reviews

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Well everyone likes different things. I'm sure I love many movies other people didnt like one bit.

[@martianleader1]

I am going to ignore the " you shouldn't see this in theaters. Wait for streaming." Bit. It should absolutely be seen in theaters.❤❤❤

[@cinematicsarcastic]

lol you dont have to ignore it, its perfectly fine to disagree with me. What was your favorite part of the movie?

[@martianleader1]

​@cinematicsarcastic I hope this works. So many parts I like. Hmm I did enjoy the part where Beetlejuice spills his guts, Delores being put together, wedding song,etc. Even though I hate thar song. 😂

[@cinematicsarcastic]

@@martianleader1 Haha someone left the cake out in the rain!! That part for me could have been shorter lol

[@martianleader1]

Yeah. My dad would play that song all the time cause he knew i hated it. 😂​@cinematicsarcastic

[@cinematicsarcastic]

@@martianleader1 Dads are the worst!! Mine used to sneak my room when I was little to make the noise of the skeksis from The Dark Crystal. I am now terrified to death of that movie lol

After Stuckmans recent 'non-reviews' -- this is where I come for the real talk 😁 It seems to be a common trend of making messy films with too many characters and a lack of focus. I suppose there is the lure to throw everything into the pot for a sequel like this. I suppose Bladerunner 2049 is the best example I can think of that really worked. That didn't jump around too much and it seemed to cut the side stories of the gang we meet later, in favour of keeping it concise.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Ohhh I loved Bladerunner 2049! Great example of a good sequel. I honestly think this one would have worked really well just with one singular story and they left it open at the end...so like why not save some of the other plotlines for potential next films?? Fair that Keaton is getting up there and maybe more films isnt possible but why cram everything into one film.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Also oh my gosh thanks for the wonderful compliment. To be even in the same sentence as a creator as big as Stuckmann is....wow!

[@pype720]

I just saw it finally with my daughter. She basically said the same thing that there were like 5 subplots and it was too much. I still loved it though because of how visually bizarre it all was. I liked how fast paced it was. Your criticism is spot on tho. I wonder if they'll do anything else with the IP.🤔

[@cinematicsarcastic]

I havent been able to confirm the news (so take it as rumor only) but I have heard that keaton has signed a multi movie deal and there is possibly a tv series in the works.

[@pype720]

@@cinematicsarcastic That would be fun!

[@cinematicsarcastic]

@@pype720 agreed! I hear the tv series will be about the sandworms?? So that could be super cool. We shall see.

[@Macksbet]

Theyre probably planning a third... it would make sense if the names are involved

[@cinematicsarcastic]

I assumed thats why they left it open for that option. Why stop at 2 when you can build a franchise.

[@Macksbet]

@@cinematicsarcastic yep. So this episode was probably a lot of story building, they have 25 years to make up for

[@rezz084]

Excellent review. The movie had way too much going on and didn’t feel like beetlejuice or Tim burton in any way.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Which is odd, I came home and looked up to see oh did he write the first but not the second, but no he never wrote the first one either. Some elements felt very similar to the first, the practical effects and such but some not so much. Changing with the times perhaps.

[@matthewp1177]

Justice for bob!

[@cinematicsarcastic]

I honestly thought when she was stealing his soul that it would stop once his stitches were out so he could talk. I was wrong lol

[@robyee3325]

yea not paying to see that

[@cinematicsarcastic]

I think it might be a fun streaming movie night in but not theater prices good.

[@treystephens6166]

Italian not Spanish.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

Thank you! I could not remember once I got home, I knew I got it wrong!

[@treystephens6166]

@@cinematicsarcastic it's alright Italian & Spanish do sound very similar.

[@cinematicsarcastic]

@@treystephens6166 I think I was more focused on why he was still clearly speaking english and why it was dubbed over than paying attention to what language i was hearing. But I should certainly know the difference between the two, so I appreciate the helping hand.

This Movie was TRASH, I "SEEN" the 1st Beetlejuice in the movie theaters when it came out, so Im a living hard Fan of Beetlejuice..!!! I think this movie was all a Money Grab.. The movie was all over the place and it didnt make any sense and Beetlejuice has a Wife hunting him down wtf Nah Buddy.. Beetlejuice s supposed to be dark, not a Musical.. Tim Burton definitely fumbled the ball on this one.. Im so tired of Part.2 movies being lame.. this movie basically in my opinion Ruined Beetlejuice Image, it feels like a D.E.I Movies.. My Wife and I give it 4 Thumbs Down..

[@cinematicsarcastic]

With a few exceptions, I think most sequels are all for the money grab.
