As a long-time fan of Tim Burton’s quirky and imaginative films, I was excited to see the return of Beetlejuice on the big screen. However, my excitement quickly turned into a rollercoaster of emotions as I watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice unfold before me.
Saying “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” won’t tarnish anyone’s childhood memories; it simply won’t create any new ones either. Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. It boasts some brilliant scenes and excellent acting. Yet, it also features an overabundance of characters, too much storyline, and pacing problems. The end product is a chaotic spectacle that, despite its sentimental undertones that seem strangely out of place, remains true to the spirit of Beetlejuice.
If you’re intrigued by the idea of observing departed souls in a perpetual state of unease, “Beetlejuice” is just the thing for you. This vivid, frequently visited afterlife is teeming with newly deceased individuals who met their end in a series of side-splittingly funny circumstances. It’s brimming with delightfully unpredictable elements that make it a captivating destination to revisit. And while it’s filled with Easter eggs and winks to its original, these references rarely feel contrived or cheesy
As a devoted fan, let me tell you that this movie holds a surprise even for those who thought they knew the whole story inside out. A character we were certain wouldn’t make an appearance in the film somehow finds their way into it, albeit subtly. To explain further would risk spoiling the delightful twist, so I’ll leave it at that. Suffice to say, their presence has left me astonished and I can’t wait for the conversations their role will spark among fans!
Two characters truly shine and seem to drive the narrative in this film. One of them is Michael Keaton, who effortlessly reprises his role as the bio-exorcist, making it appear as if he’s been wearing those pinstripes all along. If you, like me, cherish the original movie, Keaton delivers everything you’d expect from the Ghost with the Most. The film wisely doesn’t overdo or misuse him. Instead, there’s a subtle change in his character – he’s less sinister now, but this works well within the context of the story, showing how his past encounter with Lydia has influenced him. This is one of the movie’s most intelligent transformations
Another character is Delia Deetz, played by Catherine O’Hara, who steals every scene she appears in without fail. Every single one of them. As she has grown older and achieved more success, Delia has blossomed into her best version, but that doesn’t make her any less absurd or funny. The film remains entertaining throughout because O’Hara’s presence ensures continuous laughter. In other words, there are no dull moments in the movie thanks to O’Hara’s comic relief

The central storyline is essentially compressed into the final hour of the film. Simultaneously, its B-storylines are so underdeveloped. On the characters like D-plots are woefully underservedvelopoped, they’re more akin to D-plots. Two characters, Willem Defoe’s Wolf Jackson and Monica Bellucc’s Delores, add almost nothing to the film. In fact, each could be entirely eliminated without consequence. This would actually make it a stronger movie because it would feel more focused with fewer characters. There are merely too many characters without sufficient time for anything with them. Belluci’s Dolores particularly feels like they were forgotten to include less than half of her scenes, which makes no sense given she’s the primary antagonist
One of the characters in the movie that shouldn’t be overlooked are Justin Theroux’s Rory and Winona Ryder’s Lydia. Rory, played by Theroux, comes off as irritating and sleazy, yet despite my deep affection for him, I found Rory really annoying in a bad way. (On the other hand, I believe the original film’s Otho is annoying in a good way.)

The film’sess to delve deeply into the intriguing aspects of his life, as it currently stands, is quite engaging! However, the script seems incomplete, lacking a thorough examination of its central theme
The positive elements of the movie clearly outweigh the negative ones, resulting in a more pleasant viewing experience. The good aspects of the film such as humor, Beetlejuice, and Delia are truly outstanding, while the flaws—notably the bad plot, like annoisegone’sare notable are noticeable
The result is that, unlike its still perfect namesake, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is okay okay.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ⭐ (3.5 of 5)
