BeetleJuice Beetlejuice Review

 IT'S SHOWTIME !!!!!!!

  Ok well how do i begin the amazing movie review? OOOOOPS    spoiler alert   it is amazing. It is hard to say otherwise. I was born in 1987 so i was very little when the first one came out so needless to say i grew up with The beetlejuice movie and cartoon and I have always loved it. I never thought they would do a second although i must admitt i always wanted another one because well i love the first one, i love Tim Burton, and of course Michael and the rest of the cast honestly...except the dad ....he kinda creeped me out to be honest. So going into this new one i was already driven with excitement. I am not the biggest fan of Jenna Ortega but my daughter loves her in Wednesday so well i ignored that fact. Personal opinion moving on lol. Anywho,  the thought of everyone being grown up and her having a daughter makes so much sense timeline wise. I love that they kept up with that. There was always a perfect excuse as to why certain characters were not in this one. The plot around the dad was brilliant and so funny...also i wasnt creeped out seeing him in the new form lmao. 

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a 2024 American dark fantasy comedy horror film directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. A sequel to Beetlejuice (1988) and the second film of the Beetlejuice franchise, the film stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara reprising their roles alongside new cast members Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe. Set more than three decades after the first Beetlejuice, it follows Lydia Deetz, now a mother, struggling to keep her family together in the wake of a loss as the specter Betelgeuse^[a] returns to haunt her.

Just in case you dint know that already I thought i would throw that in there. 

ANYWAYS, So i dont want to spoil the movie and give away things that happen so i will tell you the way it made me feel and as much explination that i can.

This movie hit a huge nostalgia button for me. First off seeing the family back together with a few new additions made me feel nostalgic and hearing the theme song in a total new movie was nostalgic. NOTHING hit me harder than seeing Cathrine O'Hara back as Delia!! The movie was not only nostalgic but it had a modern flare to it that was nicely intergrated into it. It was a nice smooth transition in the film you almost didn't notice the change. Then the time comes when you see the house and it still so perfect just like back in the day. 

Can we talk about seeing the Ghost with the Most?  When i saw him i noticed a few changes and again this has been years later and he may be dead but he still ages...decays?...lol but anyways , like he did look a bit older but still youthful, his voice was a bit different almost as if he has grown tired of everything which was so perfect, and his humor was a bit different than before but it seemed so appropriate for the era it is made in. I think the changes that occured made sense in every way. My favorite part in the whole movie is when Beetlejuice goes " I this a figment of your imagination " . The look, sound, and mannerisms in this whole clip was so fittingly perfect i literally quote it all the time. Not to mention....Later fu****... classic lmao. 

The side villain ...Beetlejuice's wife " Delores "  was a nice addition or should i say distraction . I love her and until well lets just say until she met a certain shrunken head man. I now swaer revenge on this Delores * shakes fist angrily* . 

Fun stuff happens and oh yea there is Astrid....who...was there....getting into trouble..sound familiar? She meets a real...nice? boy. Thats all I will say about that. 

Sadly Cathrine O'hara finds out about her husband and The juice was loose and now well...go watch it for yourself!!!

All in all it was a great movie, fun with family ( for the most part ) , and not at all a let down especially for those who grew up with the first movie.
