Plot
After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River
Still obsessed with Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Astrid, accidentally opens the portal to the afterlife. Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci talk about why filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget. Tim Burton has said that this film would only happen if Michael Keaton returned to reprise his role.
Beetlejuice: I think it was Dostoevsky who said
Keaton said in March 2014 that this is the only sequel he’s interested in making. The film references “French physicist” Maria Sklodowska-Curie; is, in fact, one of the most famous Polish scientists in history, often considered second only to Copernicus.. Afterwards, asshole..
I didn’t really like this movie
SPOILER: There is a dedication in the credits to Bob the Skinner, who died in the film.. Appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers: Michael Keaton/Connor O'Malley (2024).

I didn’t feel connected to the new characters
There wasn’t enough Beetlejuice, the human side of the drama was dull. The charm of the first one was Beetlejuice tormenting the Dietz family. There wasn’t enough of that in this movie.
I just couldn’t capture the essence of it
Overall, I think I’m being very generous with the rating of 6 out of 10, I could have gone lower. No real major complaints about the acting, but it just didn’t have that magic of the first film. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely something to look forward to streaming.
