Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Non Spoilers Version)

We liked it a lot. It’s fun.

It’s a fun enough time, the plot is a bit over stuffed which leads to some anticlimactic resolutions to keep the run time short

Won’t blow your mind but you won’t be mad you went either

There’s a lot of different visual gags they do that pull from Burtons animated style like Coraline, definitely some CGI in there for some of the bigger scenes, but the actors are all in real make up / costumes rather than CGIing it.

If you have low expectations and like Burton and Keaton you will enjoy it. It has the Burton style but might have suffered from too many cooks in the kitchen.

Ortega was good and hers probably should have been the only central storyline

We saw it last night. A lot going on, but it was fun.

agreed - i would truly like to know as well.

aside from 1 spoken F word i thought it was spot on the PG13.

It’s the only movie I ever walked out of. Made it halfway. It’s not funny, it’s pretty gross, and pg13 should have been R. I had my kids with me and that was a bad idea.

This has Ned Flanders vibes. There was nothing R about this movie. They even bleeped an F word to keep it PG13.

Now…it’s not very good. I sat there thinking, it’s just not funny. I laughed twice I think and don’t want to spoil when.

I saw it today at AMC.

Delia, Lydia, and Beetlejuice were great.

It doesn't hold a candle to the original.

There wasn't a central plot line. It was many things going on at once. One of those plot lines could have been amazing if fleshed out more.

There are several scenes that are drawn out WAAAAY too long. Non-spoiler example- remember the original movie when there's a lip sync scene with Harry Belafonte music, it was a great scene and lasted less than two minutes. Now imagine it with a much much much shittier song and it goes on for six minutes straight.

The sideplot with Lydia's manager and their romance, completely useless.

Can't say more without spoilers, but if you don't mind spoilers, read the spoiler thread. I agree with pretty much everything that everyone said.

I've rewatched the original a hundred times, one of my favorite movies, but I can't imagine rewatching this.

I thought this movie sucked, and it's not Michael Keaton's fault, it's not Winona's, fault, it's not Catherine Ohara's fault. I think they were great.
