Released into theaters on Sep. 6 was a movie that would possibly be the middle of a series; The release of one of Tim Burton’s latest directed films, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”
Thirty-six years of many challenges and revisions after the release of the original movie, the sequel has gained a lot of attention, some reviews being positive, other ratings, not as much.
As there were many humorous scenes, much of the movie itself wasn’t as fun to watch. The movie focused more on the Deetz family, much like the original, but there was a considerable lack of screen time of the iconic character, Beetlejuice, within the film.
The movie has been categorized as quirky, spooky and brash by the producers.
With first-time appearances into the franchise itself, one of the new characters is the introduction of Astrid Deetz, daughter of Lydia Deetz, played by the well known actor, Jenna Ortega. One might recognize this famous actress from the well known TV series, Wednesday, or from the Scream franchise.
Micheal Keaton, an original actor for the upstarting series, is once again playing as Beetlejuice. If you’ve never watched the original Beetlejuice film, you may recognize this long-time actor from the latest created “Spider-Man” marathon, or you may spot him in a couple of the “Batman” movies.
Another classic to “Beetlejuice,” actor Winona Ryder is again acting as Lydia Deetz, easily recognizable within the well recognized sitcom, “Friends.”
The musical intro for the movie itself has taken a turn, a considerable amount of more instruments, while still keeping the same rhythm as the original theme, composed by Danny Elfman.
Hitting another state of opinion, I don’t think the new Beetlejuice movie is worth the excitement. It was pretty weird and not really in a good way.
In another thought of my belief, It feels as if it was written by a kid within the stereotypical Generation Z.
For those who wish to watch the movie in the comfort of their own home, the movie is available on Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. The movie will also be streaming on Max starting Nov. 25.
