Even from just that teaser, you can tell that Keaton hasn't skipped a beat. For me, seeing him back as that character will be worth it even if the movie as a whole isn't quite up to snuff. But I'm not big on legacy sequels anyway, so I'm already well-versed in the art of contenting myself with the original and pretending the sequel doesn't exist. If it does end up being a disappointment, my basic attitude will be: well that's a shame, but at least the Keaton parts were great - basically the reaction that most superhero movie fans had to The Flash. Though I actually enjoyed The Flash for the most part, even if it was led by a confirmed child groomer like Ezra Miller.

Another trailer.

The title "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" almost certainly suggests they'll be a third movie.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice - released in another 36 years, with an elderly Winona Ryder battling Michael Keaton's actual stuffed corpse brought to life by complex animatronics.

I'd watch it.

Did anyone here actually get around to seeing this? I'm finally gonna knuckle down and see it tomorrow. Hopefully it meets and surpasses my admittedly easy to please expectations. I was rewatching the first one recently. Still a classic.

I think our Vanessa might have seen it. She mentioned it recently that she wanted to.

It's enjoyable and good fun, but inevitably not as good as the original.

That's my extremely brief review.

Sounds about what I'm expecting. Still, your review is a nice change of pace from every legacy sequel nowadays being described as either better than the original, or in most cases, best since the original.

Saw it today. At first I wasn't sure I was really feeling it, but in the end it a lot of fun and much wackier and more off the wall than the original. Having said that, it was also very indulgent in all the wrong areas. That wedding sequence with the characters miming the song was interminable. Seemed to go on forever. And just what the hell was the point of Monica Bellucci's character? Completely superfluous to the plot. In a lot of ways I think the perfect time to do a sequel to the original was back in the early nineties.

I have to agree with that, the aesthetic of it was fine and certainly fit but as a plot point it felt like a chunk of some other draft of the film that was scrapped but for some reason this ended up being left in . It had nothing to do with anything and that runtime would have been better put into a longer "build up" of family stuff before delving fully into the chaos.

I liked it, it flew so fast. I liked the pace and I liked the characters.
