I didn't like “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” (2024) Movie Review

[@KennySparksYT]

What's interesting to me is while I enjoyed this movie I acknowledge that if I decide to think about it it's really not great. Every complaint I had for Ghostbusters Frozen Empire I had for this movie as well. And I did not like Frozen Empire at all. Too many plot lines and the most interesting of them were left in the background. Monica Bellucci's character essentially set the plot in motion only for her to be condemned to walking around looking for Beetlejuice for the entire run time of this movie. Meanwhile, Ghost Kid gets way more attention and in my opinion could've been completely cut out of the film in favor actually utilizing Bellucci's character. This movie is saved by it's pacing in my opinion. Everything happens so fast that the audience doesn't have time to questions what's happening. HOWEVER, I laughed a lot and had a good time and am deciding not to think about it too much because if I do...

Your comment is very, very, well thought out and articulated. I was actually reminded of Ghostbusters: Afterlife a lot during Beetlejuice 2. Mostly due to the family returning to the old house and the over abundance of characters. However, I couldn't remember enough of Afterlife to draw the comparison. That being said, your description of Frozen Empire tracks. Thanks for watching!

Guess what movie might actually surprise you that you would like: the biographical film - Girl You Know It's True - based on the Milli Vanilli story of how they were tricked into signing a BS contract and forced to lip-sing a singing career and the horrendous outcome of it all.

The first Beetlejuice movie will always be my favorite! It will forever hold a special place in my heart but this sequel I could have done without it.

“It’s bad” I found my lunch table! I’m sorry but this movie was painful: it was seriously just a retread of the original movie. They introduce some potentially interesting concepts but they’re resolved way too quickly or pushed to the side, ultimately there just to push the characters into a familiar setting or scenario I know it may seem nitpicky but there were a lot of questionable retcons. Okay, Adam and Barbara just found a loophole? The whole premise of the first movie was shaped by the fact that they were confined to the house and concerned with the essentially adapting. Now they just conveniently piss off to god knows where?! Then there’s the fact that this universe has a Hell; the appeal of the first movie is its unconventional concept of life after death. It just seemed like nobody working on this really gave a damn about the narrative/lore altogether

I like the film but it definitely has its problems I'm a huge BJ fanboy and for anyone to say it don't have problems is lying to them self
