I couldn't find a thread for this...
I've said for years that there should be sequels to this. Finally!
Willem Dafoe is supposed to play some afterlife detective.

Man, and she's just the icing on the cake. She's hot, but I'm honestly more excited about seeing Michael Keaton back in the Beetlejuice suit!! AND WILLEM DAFOE! Are you KIDDING ME??!?!

I made this thread already
Patient_Leech
I kind of thought someone did. Search function wasn't finding it though.
If you find it and bump it I'll message Imp to merge 'em.

Wouldn't surprise me if Tim Burton is actually doing his best to make sure this doesn't suck, Seems he's happy to be free of Disney's clutches.
Patient_Leech
First look at the man himself...

Lmfao, another one!
Nothing says house of ideas like remaking every last popular IP in existence 😆
Patient_Leech
I mean, at least it's Tim Burton coming back to it on his own terms. It's not just a rush job with some other lousy director.
I've thought for years that it was a character worth expanding, so I'm personally pretty excited about it...
And Willem Dafoe, too?? Shut up and take muh money!

Remake?...far form it.

I'm fairly certain it's a direct sequel, yes.
Robtard
They should have secretly made this a straight up hardcore horror film. Surprise the audience.
Patient_Leech
^ I'd be okay with that.
The teaser is not good. I'm glad they're not showing too much, but it also doesn't show anything interesting.
Robtard
Robtard's hype level is low for this one.
Patient_Leech
Yeah, I liked the image they released, but my hype level went way down, too.

^^^That look he has right at the end was pretty malevolent, which caught my eye.

Its Cdtm being his usual self that said it was remake, failing at being a troll.
cdtm
Nah I just didn't look into it before complaining, in my defense the remake was 99% likely what this was.

You no have no taste
Robtard
Loved the first film as a teen, this just looks like a meh sequel 36 years later. I could be wrong, probably not.
(If you don't like the reply above, then take the one below)
Your face has no taste!
riv6672
You typa de monkey butt
Impediment
This is gonna be just like Super Troopers 2.
The same jokes recycled and lame story trying to capitalize off nostalgia.
Kazenji
Looks okay
that shot with the plane falling into the ocean, The VFX needs a bit more work. Most likely all they had done at this point.
Patient_Leech
Finally watched the trailer for this.
Dafoe looks awesome.
Other than that I dunno. Not SUPER hyped.
I hope there's more than just the same sort of imagery from the first movie.
Impediment
Reviews are semi-positive. Nothing epic.
riv6672
Anyone but me actually watch it?
Robtard
I enjoyed Keaton back in the role visually and Burton's use of similar design/sets to the original. But the humor was mostly meh, the story largely recycled and Monica Belluci's role was nigh pointless, overall I give this film one big meh rating.
riv6672
^^^Well, at least you watched it!

Patient_Leech
I feel like I might enjoy this more if I wait and don't spend money on it.
So don't know if I'll get out to see it in the theater or not.

I thought it was good. Although I felt it rushed a little towards the end. I wish it would have included Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin finally connecting with their house guests in the underworld.
I felt it didn't really go into Claymation like the original, especially with the model town, felt it was just overlooked. In a way it felt like it took scenes from Men in Black 2, Serleena and Monica Bellucci character had similarities. It was all about Beetle Juice's past but towards the end it flew by the scene with one quick moment.
I liked the film but I think it could have been longer, it felt rushed. The only thing I disliked most was the beginning of the film with Lydia Deetz job as a talkshow host psychic, felt that was not necessary.
Patient_Leech
Oh, I did watch this the other night with my family. It might have traumatized my daughter, haha (she's only 4, almost 5), but I thought it was surprisingly good. Like most nostalgia legacy sequels, it was probably best when it wasn't being nostalgic and was doing new things, but overall I found it pretty amusing with some fun effects and gags.
Baby Beetlejuice was awesome. I laughed pretty damn hard at those parts. It's actually kind of Evil Dead-esque.
Willem Dafoe was entertaining, but the character was sadly kind of wasted.
riv6672
^^^Glad you liked it.
Sorry about your daughter though!

Riv talks 😲
