Anyone who gave this movie more than 1 star is lying and just being yes men. They took a movie that was original and turned it into their run of the mill of Hollywood trash the spew out these days. When are you Hollywood executives and producers going to get through your idiotic coked up heads that we don’t like your trash. Only reason we watch it is because we are hoping it won’t be that, or it’s the only thing we have to watch. Quit spoon force feeding us trash. I was all for this sequel, waited at least 32 years for it. Ever since I saw the first. And I was willing to accept some new things added. Not only did I not feel like Beetlejuice was Beetlejuice, but the whole movie was a mess. If you recall the original, no music in it. There was a score and the background of Harry Belafonte but that was it. They just had to add their trash music girl power crap to this one though, takes you out of the whole vibe. Then they just had to have their rich little boy with his damn dumb broccoli or Jew fro haircut that every other teenage boy has. Just had to put their little MTV/WB teenage love story in their movie. Because who knows the wants and likes of the masses better than the suits in Hollywood right? Wake up call, you don’t know what we want. Only thing decent about this movie was Winona Ryder. Her portrayal of her character back in the 80’s was spot on. Every single thing else was a mess. Down to the littlest details. One big mistake was the forced storyline of Charles Deetz. We obviously couldn’t have the character of Charles due to not being able to have the actor who played him, there to do it. So the obvious thing would’ve been to just kill him off or back line him in where he’s alive but because of various reasons you don’t see him. But instead they make him a major plot point in the movie and force the things that come along with that. Such as a cartoon to tell the story of his death and a body with no face yet everyone else in the afterlife has their heads, even if they’ve been decapitated. But for some reason he doesn’t? And somehow he can still talk?! Like wtf?! And the thing with Winona’s boyfriend. He should’ve been a character that was trying to get with the widow. He made no sense in Winona’s characters’life. Just nothing fit. And I love Michael Keaton but he is either too old to play beetlejuice or his heart wasn’t in it because it just wasn’t landing. So thanks again Hollywood for being wrong for the 9000th time in movie sequels/prequels and remakes. Thanks for ruining things we love just so you can have a nicer car or a larger house etc. I hope all of you that do stuff like this end up old, lying in your $75,000 bed shitting your pants, and having to lay there and realize your life was crap and heartless. But hey, you got a nice house though.
