Plot
After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by the beetle juice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter Astrid accidentally opens a portal to the afterlife. Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci share why they’ll never forget filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. Tim Burton has said that this film would only be made if Michael Keaton returned to reprise his role.
Beetlejuice: I think Dostoyevsky said
The film makes reference to “French physics”; Maria Sklodowska-Curie; In fact, she is one of the most famous Polish scientists in history, often considered second only to Copernicus. Later, damn..

When you think about it, of course the story had to go in a new direction, including the afterlife
I wasn’t sure if this was going to be the movie for me, but as the movie started, the camera panned over the ground and the dark but light score played, I thought I might like it. In fact, the score and soundtrack were some of the highlights, even though it featured less Jokers and more The Addams Family. We’re introduced to a lot of fun and quirky characters old and new, including three generations of the Deetz family, but I love that the movie didn’t just repeat the first one. For example, while Lydia Deetz was quirky and sympathetic to the paranormal in the original film, her daughter Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega, is a skeptic and still manages to give off a Wednesday Adams vibe.
She was quirky, funny at times and good looking
While the story can be over-the-top and actually predictable in places, it works well for what it is, but with a running time of an hour and 45 minutes, there’s a lot left to do. All in all, I had fun with Beetlejuice and it was better than I expected, and I’m sure it might attract some new fans. If you liked the first one, will you like this one too? I can’t say, but I wish this had been released closer to Halloween because it would have been easy, spooky fun.
