After years of waiting, the beloved Beetlejuice sequel has finally graced our screens. It's been a long 36 years since the original film was released in 1988, but the wait was definitely worth it. Fans everywhere are flocking to theaters to catch a glimpse of the wise-cracking, self-proclaimed ‘Ghost with the Most’ in action once again.
The new Tim Burton movie follows the Deetz family, who returns to their house in Winter River after a tragic family event. And according to fans, the sequel is just as good as the original. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes has given Beetlejuice 2 a score of 82%, which is exactly the same score that the first film received from audiences.
Over 250,000 fans have already shared their ratings for the original film, and within just three days of its international release, over 5,000 audience members have rated the sequel. The sequel picks up with Lydia Deetz's life being turned upside down as her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers a mysterious model of the town in the attic, accidentally opening a portal to the Afterlife and releasing Betelgeuse once again.
Fans have been raving about the new quirky comedy horror movie, praising its wackiness and fun. Some have even gone as far as to say that it's a nice homage to the original. With returning stars like Catherine O'Hara, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and Justin Theroux, it's no surprise that fans are loving the sequel.
Many fans have also noted the nostalgia factor in the film, which has been a major selling point after so many years between the two Beetlejuice movies. Some have even said that the sequel is just as good as the first film.
But as with any movie, there are some mixed reviews. While most audience members have given the sequel high ratings, there are a few who were less impressed. Some have said that it's hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice, while others have called it mediocre at best.
Critics have also had varying opinions, with the Tomatometer for Beetlejuice sitting at 83% from 115 reviews, slightly higher than the audience's ranking. As for the sequel, 248 reviews have placed it at 76%.
In The Agency's four-star review of Beetlejuice 2, the film is praised as a return to form for director Tim Burton, with Michael Keaton delivering a brilliant performance as always. Speaking at the Venice Film Festival, where the film premiered, Burton shared that he had become disillusioned with the movie industry before working on the Beetlejuice sequel and the Netflix series Wednesday.
He compared himself to Lydia's character in the film, saying that sometimes life takes a turn and you can lose yourself along the way. But with this film, he found his passion again and loved working with the cast and crew.
Burton's love for the film shines through in every scene, and he hopes that audiences will feel the same way. He also added that he has realized the key to success is simply doing what you love.
Beetlejuice 2 is now in theaters, and it's clear that fans and critics alike are loving it.
