Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Film Review

It's very rare these days that people have to wait a long time for a sequel especially when it comes to Hollywood. Yet that's exactly the case with the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today as audiences have had to wait since the eighties to see the ghost with the most return in live action form as while yes there was the animated series to tide people very that show ended in the nineties and since then there was nothing and so then join me as I review the film that with recent events in mind now has a slightly sadder ending with the film in question being called simply just "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" enjoy.

The plot of this film is after the death of her father Charles Lydia who now hosts a paranormal TV show goes back to Winter River with her mother and her teenage daughter Astrid but when Astrid meets a boy and goes to the underworld Lydia has to team up with the one person she's been trying hard to forget Beetlejuice. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. This films plot is to be quite frankly just as much if not more fun then the plot of the film was with it feeling like that the writers of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar really were fans of the first film as they do go out of there way to craft a plot that does feel the next natural step for these films to go and while there are some plot choices that don't make sense like why is Lydia the host of a TV show when her whole thing was taking pictures and why aren't the Maitlands in the film as they are bound to that house for hundreds of years. The films plot is one that does still work despite these small short comings as it does feel like a plot that is true to the spirit of the first film as you can tell right from the very start of the film that the makers of this film still do know how to make a Beetlejuice movie as this films plot does feel right at home when sitting next to the plot of the first movie and while yes this film would have been better if certain plot elements were given more time and more scenes for a film that nobody really expected to work it's plot does work really well with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice , Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and the late Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz. Also starring in this film is Jenna Ortega as Astrid Deetz , Justin Theroux as Rory , Willem Dafoe as Wolf Jackson , Arthur Conti as Jeremy Frazier , Burn Gorman as Father Damien , Santiago Cabrera as Richard , Nick Kellington as Bob , Amy Nuttall as Jane Butterfield Jr. , Paul Warren as Tom , Mark Heenehan as Charles Deetz , Charlie Hopkinson as the voice of Charles Deetz , Danny DeVito as a Janitor and Monica Bellucci as Delores LaFerve.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. The fact that we manage to have good acting in this film is something that isn't all that surprising given the fact that all of this films main actors are a bunch of really good actors whom we all know can turn in a good performance and while yes there are some actors in this film that don't get as much of a chance to shine as others like for example Delores they all do get a good chance to show us just what it is that they can from an acting point of view. With the best actor in this film being quite easily Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice as even tho he hasn't played the character since the first film he so easily slips back into that character that it's actually quite terrifying with doing such a good job as this character that you actually want to see more scenes with him in the film and while the film does hold back quite alot on showing him this is something that does make Michael's acting in the film alot more better as now he has to bring his A game every single time that he's own screen and my god does he do exactly that. With it feeling like that he just got through making the first film a year or two before filming this one as that's just how good he is as this character. With the acting that's in this very film really bein helped but the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Framestore , One Of Us , BUF , Red Visual Effects and Goldcrest. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. While the film does use alot of CGI it does also make more use of practical effects with the film really only using CGI in scenes where they have to use it with this being something that does give the film more of a handmade look as it does make it look like that we the audience could make any of the films effects at home ourselfs. Yet when the film does use CGI like for example the death f Charles it is something that does feel right as home with the first film as it has that handmade look to it where it looks stop motion and yet it quite clearly isn't with this being something that does work well enough for this film as this film does prove that not everything needs to be CGI due to the fact that the film does make use good practical elements like for example alot of the sets are real and while yes the film does make use of CGI it's only used in scenes where it would be impossible to do it for real like for example the scene where all of the influencers get sucked into there phones there would be no way to do a scene like that for real and therefor it is something that would need to be done in CGI with the films computer effects blending in really well with it's practical effects not to the point where your questioning which is real and which is practical but rather it's to the point where you can see that they are well blended.  

It is safe to say that there is one character in this film that is woefully underused in this film that being the character of Delores. As this character had all of the potential to be this really fun and funny character and yet the film barely has her in any scenes with her only showing up every so often and when she does show up the character barely talks which makes you wonder why they got someone like Monica Bellucci to play her as you could have cast any actor in that role and not have to change a thing about the character infact out of the whole film the character only has just over a line of dialog total as that's how little impact that this character has on this films plot. With it being made clear pretty much right away that she is meant to be the underworlds version of Rory as both he and Delores share very similar characters traits as they both want to stop the wedding between Beetlejuice and Lydia and they are both selfish people and while Monica does look really good as the character there was no need for her to be the one to play the character when you could have had any actor play this role. With the only thing that makes the character be somewhat interesting being the fact that she and Beetlejuice got married hundreds of years ago during the black plague and even then the film does nothing with that idea due to the fact that it keeps both of the character separated for alot of its running time which fair enough they do provide an in story reasoning for that  but they still should have given this character some more time to show us just what she's really like as she does come across as being one character to many for this film and therefor she does end up getting the short end of the stick this is despite the fact out of all the small time villains in this film she is the better one.

As alot of you will no doubt remember earlier this year we di loose the great Catherine O'Hara which is a really sad thing in it's own right. Yet her passing now makes the ending of this film be even more sadder then what it already is as in this film we do see her character die on screen with her going to the afterlife with her beloved Charles at the end of the film this is a sad scene in it's own right as it is something that the film didn't really build towards until maybe the final fifteen minuets of the film and yet now not only does serve as way for us the audience to say goodbye to this really funny character but it also serves as a way for us the audience to say goodbye to this painfully funny actor on top of that while this is something that of course would have been the furthest from the minds of the makers of this film it is also something that is an oddly fitting end to her as both a character in Delia and as an actor as she gets to be both funny heartwarming in the same scene. This was something that the makers of the film didn't have to do as just having the character be funny would have been more then enough and it would have been true to her character from both this film and the first film as well but the fact that they took the time to let her and Lydia have a small moment together before she does board the wonderfully punny Soul Train is something that does make Delia seem more then just a one dimensional character as we get to see how much she has grown inbetween films and the fact that she does care for Lydia with her last great act being to hire Beetlejuice herself to help her find Lydia as deep down she knows that she's died but isn't willing to admit it just yet with it only being once Lydia is safe and once she thinks that she is on her own does she fully admit to the undead Charles that she's died.

Where the film does both somewhat sine and somewhat faulter is with the plot between Lydia and Astrid as they both o have to learn to get along and trust each other after possibly years of growing tension between the pair of them. This something that does feel like its one plot to many as all of the characters in the film have a plot and they really don't need to and while the Lydia and Astrid plot is tied to the main plot in a major way as without them having there friction that Astrid wouldn't have run of and met Jeremy and been seduced by him yet at the same time it is something that could have been handled alot more better due to the fact that there plot arc together does seem forced and unneeded in the grand scheme of things. Yet at the same time it does shine really well due to the fact that there aren't that many good Tim Burton films that tackle the idea of a mother trying and failing to connect with her daughter and therefor seeing it done and done fairly well in this film is something that does make this film stand out for it but in saying this tho this plot arc is one that really could have been done alot more better due to not only the fact that there are so many plot lines in this film that is hard to keep track of them all but also due to how closely ted into the main plot of the film that it is and therefore there should have been alot more thought and effort put into making it not only as believable as you can do with a Beetlejuice film but also make it as fun and as weird as you should be able to do as this is a Beetlejuice film and yet the makers of this film don't really do all that much with it which is something that does make it feel like it was only added to the film just to give Jenna Ortega something to do in the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty five minuets and three seconds. Which is also pretty much the same running time as the first film as well and yet you hardly feel it as the film does move really quickly with none of the films scenes lasting either two long or two quickly and while yes there are certain advantages that the film could have had if it was a few minuets longer if this film was even ten minuets longer all of the issues that people have the film would now be magnified to the extreme due to the fact that people are now forced to focus on them alot more then what they already are with this film having the right amount of plot to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even with the fact that the film doesn't feel as along as it is alot of the time the film still doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as while the films plot is as well developed as it was ever going to be the film spends alot more time in setting up and devoting time to all of the characters other plots all of which don't add all that much to the main bulk of the film and all of which do eat up screen time that would have been better spent on giving it's main plot alot more plot development as while the films plot is about as well developed as it was ever going to get that is only due to the fact that it's fighting for screen time with all of the other several dozen or so plots that are also competing for screen time in this film. This is something that does also effect the films character development as now none of the films characters can get the character development that they really needed which is fine for characters like Delia , Lydia and Beetlejuice as then you could argue that they got there character development in the first film and therefor they don't need it in this one but all of the films new characters get nothing interms of character development with the only one that we really know something about is Astrid and that's it and that's not enough to make her a memorable character in this film but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. While yes granted alot of this films jokes aren't going to be as funny as the ones in the first movie due to the fact that the first movie despite it having a PG rating did manage to tell alot of adult jokes all of which not only worked back then but still work to this very day while this film on the other hand despite it not having as many adult jokes in the film is still painfully funny with alot of what made the jokes in this film be as funny as they are is the performances from all of the actors in this film as they all do give us these wonderfully funny performances that help to make the jokes even more funnier then what they already are. With the best joke in the whole entire film being the wedding scene near the end of the film as we get to see Beetlejuice force not only himself but also Lydia , Rory , Astrid and Delia sing the song "MacArthur Park" by the singer Richard Harris with alot of what they are saying being tied to what's happening on screen and while yes the whole number is very much a rip off of the Day-O scene from the first film it still a really funny scene in this film with all of the films actors really committing to it with that being something that does help to tip it over the edge and be this painfully scene with the only thing that would have made it even more funnier being if they they somehow got Willem Dafoe's character to sing apart of the song as well with the rest of the films jokes being just as painfully funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is film is just as funny as the first one and while the first film does have the added advantage of being out longer and therefor people would have a chance to love it for the type of film that it is there is still alot of really good things to be found in this film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well aa all of the bad things that are in his very film in this very review and as such tat really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then ass for where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very revie from Tenor , Blogger , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

Sequels to hit films are a given how they usually come out within a few years of the original film coming out. The same thing cannot be said for this film as this film came out over thirty years after the release of the original film and while there have been attempts to get a sequel film made going as far back as the nineties it's now finally where and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that proves that the ghost with the most really is indeed back with the film in question being called simply just "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" enjoy.

The plot of this film is thirty five years after the events of the first film Lydia is brought back to Winter River along with her daughter , her mother and her boyfriend and has to content with Beetlejuice who this time has some problems of his own. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the plot of the film being as delightfully simple as it was back in the first film with this being helped by the fact that this really isn't the kind of film that really demands a complicated plot as all you need is a basic plot to make it enjoyable and that's exactly what the plot of this film is and because of that is the fact that the plot could also be seen as a throwback to other eighties films as alot of films back in the eighties also had some really basic and really simply plots to them as well with alot of those films also being classics because of that fact with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice , Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz. Also starring in this film is Jenna Ortega as Astrid Deetz , Justin Theroux as Rory , Arthur Conti as Jeremy Frazier , Willem Dafoe as Wolf Jackson , Burn Gorman as Father Damien , Amy Nuttall as Jane Butterfield Jr. , Santiago Cabrera as Richard , Nick Kellington as Bob and Monica Bellucci as Delores.

Now then interms of what I personally thought . felt about thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With al of the actors that you expect a really good performance from really delivering in this very film the likes of Michael Keaton , Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara all really easily stepping back into their roles as if they were just playing them last year and all three of them really do have some really good chemistry but that's not to say that the new cast are bad because there really not as all of this films new actors are also really good with this films producer ad director Tim Burton really knowing how to direct his cast and how to get a good performance out of his actors with the acting that's in this very film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors really have to do is just say the pines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film is the true legends and the really greats that are currently over at Framestore. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the film not really having that much CGI in it with the film instead making great use of stop motion animation for all of it's effects similar to what was done in the first film and in that regard that does make the effects in this film feel like that they really do belong in this series and while the film does have very limited CGI effects in it what little CGI the film does have not only looks really good but also looks alot better then what it really had any right to as by all rights the CGI that's in this film really shouldn't have been that good and nobody would have blamed the makers of this film if they chose not to include some good CGI but no this films CGI looks just as good as this films stop motion effects do with the film also having some really good looking stop motion effects in it with the stop motion looking just as good as it did in the first film.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some strange reason alot of recent actually good movies seem to use songs in really good ways with Deadpool & Wolverine of course using Nysnc's Bye Bye Bye. With this film making some really good use of The Bee Gee's Tragedy of all things which was such a fun little scene that it really did work for this film and was such a really funny moment in the film but at the same time this is also a really weird trend that's started to prop up very recently and it makes you wonder whatever film franchises will return and make good use of a long forgotten song and while it could be argued that the first Beetlejuice film technically started this trend thanks to the use of Day O and as such it really does feel right that this film would use another long forgotten version of a rally popular song it's still to see two movies based off of very popular characters both come out in the exact same year and both of them use some really good songs in some really fun and funny ways and out of the two songs it's Tragedy that does feel like it's better suited to the film as that song does feel like that it belongs in a film like this one where as Bye Bye Bye feels like it's saying goodbye to nothing but really both songs are still used really well in both films.

In what was a rather shocking move this film does actually kill of Delia Deetz and they don't go back on it either she stays dead. This was such a bold move as she was a minor character in the first film and yet was still made a main character inn this film and as aa result of that is the fact that the makers of the film really didn't gave to go that far and have her character killed of in this film in a way that's fitting for her character but what makes her death fun isn't how she dies but it's the fact that she refuses to accept that she's dead which is just such a fun idea as it's something that's fitting for her character as her character would believe that her death was a mistake and that she had more to do in life and so to see her act like that in this film is a really fun idea and while she does get to meet up with her recently deceased husband Charles who does appear in the film in a rather unique and oddly gory way it's still fun to see this character very slowly be forced to come t the terms with the fact that she's dead even tho she has a huge ego and her ego would just never accept that fact with out all f the proof in the world something which she does get due to the fact that she's in the after life legally while Lydia and Beetlejuice are there illegally to save Lydia's daughter Astrid from having her soul taken by someone who wants her body to live again. 

There are a few down sides to this film tho like the fact that Astrid really isn't all that likable as a character with her coming across as more unlikable version of Lydia only without any of the charm that made Lydia a likeable character in the first place. With the other bad thing about this film is the fact that the subplot with Delores not really being being that fully developed and heck the character barely even talks in the film with her maybe getting a paragraph in total lines of the film and even then alot of her lines are just her asking people where Beetlejuice is and that's really it which isn't enough to make the character seem justified as being in the film as on paper the character really could have worked and her plot with her trying to find Beetlejuice could have been interesting if it had some actual stakes to it and wasn't just featured as something that's shoehorned into the film for little to no reason because as things stand if her plot and her character was removed from the film nothing of actual importance would actually be lost from the film as it's just there just so Tim Burton can put Monica Bellucci in a film and that's rally it and that's not a good enough reason as you can have the best actor a film but you still to justify the reason as to why there character is included in the film in the first place.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven seconds and fifty eight seconds. Which is a really solid running time for this film to have as this film really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time but at the same time tho alot of what the film does feature could have been cut out from the film and other aspects of the film could have been expanded upon like the fact that the relationship between Astrid and Lydia could have been more developed as in the final cut of the film it just comes across as Astrid hating Lydia for no reason whatsoever with them coming back together even feeling rushed in parts as well and all f this was because of the fact that the film had to squeeze in the whole Delores Monica Bellucci subplot when that's something that really didn't need to be in the film as much as it was as that's not something that adds anything to the overall plot of the film and as is there just to be nothing more then filler and nothing more then that with the film giving us more focus on something that doesn't need to be focused upon and giving us less focus on something that really should have been the main focus of the film but I will ad it that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film alot of painfully funny laugh out loud moments in it and it's during this films more comedic moments that allows Micheal Keaton to once again truly shine as Beetlejuice as he really does get alot of the film painfully funny moments with the film even having it's own version of the Day O scene only this film it's involving Lydia , Astrid and Delia as well as Beetlejuice miming to the song MacArthur Park by Richard Harris and it's such a painfully funny scene that it makes what could gave bee a really boring sequence seem all the more fun as by paper the wedding scene could have been a really boring and predictable scene and yet because of the fact that they added alot of random humor in that scene it seems all the more entertaining then what it really could have ended up being and it really does show that Tim Burton still really does know how to make people laugh something which is true with alot of the scene that are in this very film as this film is just that good and is just all that funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this film is so much fun and it's one that alot of people really should go and watch one the biggest screen possible as it really is worth it as it's a film that more the lives up to the legacy to the first one and it really does prove that Tim Burton can still make a good movie when he really wants to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images really simply because the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page actually really has images from this film really are up and on the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page and really plus pretty  much all of the images that I personally found on the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page really were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we really do end this review as we really always do with really our one and really true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Beetlejuice Film Review

Horror sequels are not a new thing with there being alot more sequels to horror films then there are sequels to none horror films. However most of those sequels usually come out a year or two after the release of the first film and yet there's a new sequel coming out next week with the first film coming out in nineteen eighty eight and so then join me as I review the film that helped to make Michael Keaton , Winona Ryder and it's director Tim Burton house hold names with the film in question being called simply just "Beetlejuice" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when the recently deceased couple Adam and Barbera Maitland discover a new family is moving into there home they set about trying everything that they can do to get the family out of there house. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the plot of this film being simple but delightfully so and where as having a simple plot would usually be a bad thing for a film to have in this case it's something that oddly works in the films favor as the film is all about being zany and anarchic and having a deep , dark and complicated plot would get in the way of the film being nothing more then none stop fun with the plot of this film also being fresh and different as no film before or after this film has had a set up quite like this one which does make this film feel unique as well with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Alec Baldwin as Adam Maitland , Geena Davis as Barbara Maitland and Jeffrey Jones as Charles Deetz. Also starring in this film is Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz , Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz , Sylvia Sidney as Juno , Robert Goulet as Maxie Dean , Dick Cavett as Bernard , Glenn Shadix as Otho Fenlock , Annie McEnroe as Jane Butterfield , Tony Cox as The Preacher , Jack Angel as The Voice of The Preacher and Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films actors turning in some really good and funny performances as well with the best actors in this whole entire film being Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz , Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz and Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse as while all of the other actors tat are in this film do indeed turn in soke really performances in this film it's those three that really capture the spirit and tone of the film perfectly with there performances also being the most fun performances as well and that s something that really does allow them to turn in some really good performances in this film with the acting that's in this film also really being helped by the fact that the script for this film is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the effects for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Visual Concept Engineering. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the effects that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual effects that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this film making some really good use of practical and stop motion effects with this films use of stop motion being really creative and inventive and it really does go to show you that Tim Burton really did know how to be creative at this point in his career with all of this film practical effects not only looking good but also holding up really really well with all of this films effects looking alot better then CGU ever will ad CGI gets dated very quickly where as with practical effects they very rarely if ever age in a negative way and when there done right like they are in this film they age like fine wine in that they only get better with age with alot of this effects adding to the charm of this film as this film has a very handmade look to it with this films effects reflecting that look as they do look cheap but cheap in a good way.

To be frank this film really does gave some really good characters with nearly all of the films characters even the ones that your meant to hate having something likable about them. Like for example Maitland's even tho they are yes trying to get another family out of there house there doing so because of the fact that to them this house is perfect the way that it is where as Delia is trying to change everything that they loved about the movie and speaking of Delia even tho she is ignoring her daughter with the same thing also being true for Charles as well it's not because of the fact that she's a bad parent because when it really matters there both there for there daughter but rather it's because of the fact that there both busy and that's really it and even Lydia is someone that is just trying to get her parents attention but at the same time she's also stopping them from working as well which does eventually drive her into the arms of Beetlejuice who is basically just a con man but at the same time he also just wants to be loved and hes meant to be someone that were not meant to like but that really does go to show you that all of this films character do have something likable about them thus making it easier for us the audience to form some sort of connection to those characters and it also makes those characters seem alot more really well rounded as well.

For what is basically a kids film this film really does earn it's PG rating as there are alot of really mature scenes in this films. On top of there being some really creative scares as well alot of which are things that PG films made today would be to afraid to include for one reason or another and yet that's exactly what the PG rating was made for so that parents could actually be parents and give there kids guidance and yet even with that in mind the film does go over the top with those moments nor does it really cool attention to those moments with alot of the films more mature moments coming in the form of jokes that are said by the titular Beetlejuice who also give us some of the films more creative scares and there all things that this character would say and do as this character just doesn't care what others think about him and just does whatever it is that he wants to do and isn't afraid to just be himself and because of that that does mean that were going to get alot of more adult themed jokes from this character and alot of really creative and scares from this character as well and it's those things that make the character alot of fun to watch as well and while the character really doesn't appear fully on screen for at least forty five minuets the film somehow has those type of mature jokes and decent scares even without him being shown all that much n the film itself.

Even tho this film is listed as being a comedy film it's also a horror film with the film itself having some really good and creepy scares. While none of this films have any gore in them what makes them creepy is the fact tat there really creative scares like the fact that Beetlejuice can pull his face off to scare people at will and the fact that the end of the table scene several hands come out of the plates to attack the guests those are all really creative scares and there all scares that work really well as half of this films main characters are dead and they would there for no how to do something like that and because of the fact that the film does include moments like that it does go to show you that the makers of this film really did understand these characters and this world and it's during those moments that we get to see how dark Tim Burton can be as you need to be a really dark person to pull of some of this films scares and yet somehow make light of all of  them and that;s something that this film does really well and alot of that does come down to the fact that Tim Burton was a really talented director who was rebelling against the man of Hollywood where as now he basically is the man and there for has no one to rebel against but with that being said tho alot of this films scares aren't as good as they really could have been and really could have been alot of more darker then what they were but given that this is comedy it's understandable that this films jokes weren't all that dark either.

Now then this film has / had a exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty two minuets and six seconds. Which is a solid running tome for this film to have as the film really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time but at the same time tho due to the fact that this film really does have a short amount of running time it does mean that none of the characters can get much in the way of actual character with alot of the development that the characters do indeed get coming out of nowhere and not really feeling earned where as if the film did have a slightly longer running time even by five or ten minutes then all of this films characters can get characters development that really does feel earned and comes at a more natural pace but for some strange the makers of this film chose to give this film a shorter running time despite the fact that they have enough plot to really cover a little bit longer of a running time which would have allowed them to have that earned character development and to have that big dramatic moment with Lydia really feel earned instead of coming out of nowhere but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film having alot of painfully funny moments init with alot of the films funny jokes coming from Beetlejuice himself which is something that does make sense as alot of his stuff was ad-libbed on set and all of it works because it fits in with his character perfectly and while he odes get alot of the films really funny jokes the best joke in the whole entire film does of course have to the Day-O table scene as while on paper it's no a funny what makes the joke work is the fact that it's so random and comes out of nowhere that we the audience really can't help but laugh at it as it really is just such a weird scene that it oddly works really well enough for this film and in this films favor as well and that;s also the case for alot of this films jokes as well and because of that is the fact that alot of this films jokes really do work really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is just so good that you really can see why this film not only spawned a very successful animated series but also a stage musical and really oddly enough a crossover episode with Teen Titans Go and all it does is make you wonder just how good Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is going to be as well as this film really did set the bar pretty high in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very review well does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images really simply because Google Images actually really has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and really plus pretty  much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images really were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we really do end this review as we really always do with really our one and really true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
