Is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Worth the Hype? | Movie Review

[@lillpoetboy]

I was a fan of the original, loved the cartoon series. So im sure ill enjoy this movie for sure.

[@notthistimenet]

Same here.

No. The original Beetlejuice is my favorite movie of all-time.

I'm a big fan of the original but you're review is fair. The original review had a clear and focused narrative, I feel they tried to squeeze too much into this one, they dispatched Astrid's baddie too quickly and Monica Belucci didn't go anywhere either, they should've just had one of these IMHO and doubled down on that. They're were some good emotional hooks but again they could have allowed more time to explore these especially with Catherine O'hara's character

Eh... it is just another "monequel" (Money sequel). There is a need for money... No one has done the sequel to Beetle juice... therefore, the idea came up. "Hey, we could do a sequel to Beetle Juice! You remember when Comedy Central would play this movie over the summer? Let's do a sequel since Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are still worthy names since Stranger Things and Batman are relevant. Let's another Bettle Juice movie!" How about they do a sequel to Drop Dead Fred as well... it was quirky and weird!

If you're ever at DragonCon, let me know and I'll try to find to you say hi! :-D

[@AnthonyAPerez]

Enjoyed hearing your take. I liked this one, but didn’t love it.

[@CynsCorner]

I think not being a huge Beetlejuice fan didn't help me any ...

[@tcgguide3818]

I'm with you it was alright but it didn't live up to my expectations. Hopefully after watching it one or two more times it'll really grow on me

[@treystephens6166]

I’m not a Super Fan but I’ve watched the Original 1988 over 10 times already in 2024.

😲

I think we’re with you on this one Cyn. Neither me nor my husband are big Beetlejuice fans but we did have fun with this one.

[@CynsCorner]

I would have liked to enjoy it more but I think that's just the result of the first one not being one of my favorites.

How it going today and how was your weekend? Just here to hear your thoughts on the movie. The movie was alright for it not to be made in 35 years. I think they under used Delores in the movie. If an ex wife is after you, she will do anything to get to you. When she finally got to him, there was no fight between them. Was sideswipe by a worm. It was like that other movie Ghostbuster Frozen Empire where the villain barely did anything.

[@CynsCorner]

Hiya! I'm doing pretty good - hope you are as well. I totally agree about the under-utilization of that character.

[@furtalance_x]

Havent seen the original but im open to watching this one. But not in cinema, maybe when it comes to streaming on amazon or netflix.

[@rossshepherd9836]

Watch the first one first.

[@CynsCorner]

I agree with Ross. Watching the first will help with understanding the dynamic of the characters in the second one.
