Extremely happy to say that I enjoyed the hell out of Tim Burton's 36-years-in-the-making Beetlejuice Beetlejuice -- head on over to Pajiba now to read my review now or even better after you've gone to see the movie in the theater yourself. I hope it makes a heap of money this weekend because this is a "legacy sequel" done right. Even if I really hate the term "legacy sequel." The movie might be all over the place but that's totally true to the wacky spirit of the original -- people complained the same thing about the original and yet I have watched that movie enough times to have it memorized from start to finish. Bring on the Winona-ssaince!
I am a child of the 80's and a bit of a fan of the original but I couldn't be less interested in this and i'm not sure why,I like the cast but it's Burton who puts me off,I haven't enjoyed a film of his since Sleepy Hollow 25 yrs ago..
ReplyDeleteI’m not a fan of Burton’s movies. The last one I saw was Datk Shadows (2012) which was abysmal. But I think need up seeing BetelgeuseBetelgeuse. The best thing I can say is “I didn’t hate it” but I never laughed either. Same old schtick.
ReplyDeleteI had a blast at this (saw it in IMAX), and the icing for me was watching this cast obviously having the time of their lives working together.
ReplyDeleteI also clocked the music use from another classic film at the end so I was expecting a jump scare :)
