i recently watched beetlejuice beetlejuice! (the beetlejuice sequel) and i have thoughts! Movie spoilers below ofc
Okay either you've watched it or you don't care about being spoiled. This is divided into things i like and things i dislike!
STUFF I LIKE:
This movie is really funny. The cop/actor is great, the wedding musical scene is hilarious, and bj is like 50% more fun than in the original. I love the bit where beetlejuice explains his backstory overly dramatically, i love the part at the end.
Bold choice of them to include a hot vampire woman but im not going to judge. I know she's not technically a vampire, but she sucks people's souls so it's close enough. Bj's ex (forgot her name) is just for people who want tall women to step on them and i love that for her i guess.
Sweet family stuff i guess is cute!
The twist with the boy and his family being ghosts is really well done. My mom actually predicted this and was whispering out loud in the theater. It's really fun and i love the sense of danger
The gore is really well done! The special effects in this movie go hard. How are you doing this omg its so cool.
Sandworms make a return and i love the sandworms.
Lydia's character omg! She is not okay and i love that for her. The writers also had the balls to put her in a bad relationship. its so cool!!!
STUFF I DON'T LIKE
the janitor in the beginning makes me uncomfortable. His face just looks so- ew. i can't really describe it.
They never explain what Delores was doing in those boxes. (minor problem)
Beetlejuice being a dead person is a bit weird, since if he's only a human why does he get summoned when you say his name? Why does he have powers? Was he turned into a demon? if so, how? And why doesn't the fungus stuff on his face match how he died (by poisoning) when all the other dead people gore does?
The maitlands are gone!! I liked the maitlands. They had to be like "oh they found a loophole to move on and leave" so the ghosts weren't around to break the plot. I wish they were back, but then we wouldn't have all this fun plot stuff.
in conclusion i liked it! Was a fun watch!
