**Spoilers Included *
As a person born in 1981, I absolutely LOVED Beetlejuice! My cousin and I memorized the entire movie and annoyed the crap out of our parents by saying that dialogue while watching the movie…which was at least weekly (if not more often)! This new movie was such a massive disappointment, and I kinda predicted it wouldn’t be up to par with the original. Heck, if you know anything about the original sequel Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian sounds better than the complete slapped together crap in the new movie! The plot (I question whether or not to call it a plot, because it was all over the) was horrendous! The soul sucking ex of Beetlejuice was seemingly useless as an inclusion in the movie. This truly feels like a table full of writers each contributed a small amount to the movie, but it is in NO way cohesive! I feel like I could have written a better screenplay in 20 minutes alone! I’m so glad that I didn’t pay much to rent it digitally because I would have been so angry spending a large sum of tickets to the theater or paid full price to watch when first released. A bit of advice, if you enjoyed Beetlejuice, PLEASE don’t watch the new one! It’s beyond awful!
