BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE (Spoiler Review) - The Juice is BLOATED and NEUTERED 

Also….the whole storyline with Jenna Ortega’s love interest is the EXACT SAME THREAD as what happened in Wednesday!!!?!?!!!

Im 46 and was a fan of the original. I loved the sequel and while the plot was too busy I still enjoyed the ride. Some of us did really enjoy it.

Geena Davies is adorable in the original shes very attractive.

This channel is criminally undersubbed. love you girls, keep it up.

The Maitlands absence was so unnecessarily complicated. Why "loophole"? Why not just say they moved on when Lydia grew up because they were happy?

The movie didn't suck. It wasn't as good as the first but i didn't think it sucked.

The plot thread of Astrid's dad actually does make sense: Lydia can only see ghosts on earth, and Lydia's dead husband can't vist earth because be has a job in the afterlife working the ticket booth. They don't have an explosion dump, but it works.

Now, this is a honest review. Everyone is loving this piece of garbage. I know many "reviewers" are scared of calling the bs, scared of losing viewers and subscribers, scared of being canceled and I hate those fake reviewers. This is how reviews show be done, with honesty

I think Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a great example of one of the biggest issues modern movies have (in addition to the cast needing to be cut down by half): none of the characters have any goals. Everyone in this movie is just reacting to the world moving around them, nobody has anything they particularly want or a goal they are pursuing.

I really don't think they could have gotten away with portraying Beetlejuice as the same level of sleazy scumbag he was in the original without also downplaying the humorous aspects of his character. A small but vocal section of the audience would probably freak out seeing a despicable and perverted character being played for laughs.

This is all I want, no bullshit honest reviews. thank you.

Say Hard Cut 3 times and these guys show up. 😎

You mentioned bad pacing, scenes or jokes going on too long. I'm seeing that a LOT in movies now. 2016 Ghostbusters being the worst example. Watching the old 80's movies (like The Lost Boys), they were tightly scripted and edited, and it's hard to believe what they successfully packed into 90 minute run times

gotta love gen z cancer curls when they are the cancer

Lisa Frankenstein & Beetlejuice 2 ruined goth movies for me this yr. Both movies suffer from 0 sense of importance despite aesthetics brought on film.

I thought that it was okay. Definitely not as good as the original but the original was like lightning in a bottle situation with how everything fell into place creating for a kooky memorable film. I thought the sequel was okay in the sense that the dark vibe was there and I liked how it still used practical effects for most of it. I thought Lydia's character was alright in the sense that I could see her mellowing out a bit after dealing with her depression in the original. I enjoyed her for what she was but I do understand and even agree that she did feel a little off. I also agree that the plot hole was dumb with where she can see ghosts but can't see her ex-husband and when it was revealed that he worked in the afterlife, for a second it made it understandable but then he drops the "I check in on you two" line and thus opened that hole. It would've been better if they had Lydia lie that she couldn't see him and that could've been the (seen coming) second twist. I honestly though Michael Keaton was great. Yeah he's aged and you can feel that in the sequel but I think he was still able to tap into the character and deliver a fun performance. Catherine O'Hara, I'll admit I did find myself chuckling at a few of her quips and I enjoyed her character but in hindsight, I do see what people are saying now that it didn't really feel like "Delia". I haven't seen Schitt's work so I'm not familiar with the character she plays there but I will concede that it feels like she may have put a little too much kookiness into the character. But despite that, I still enjoyed her. As for Jenna Ortega as Astrid, this is my first time seeing Jenna Ortega act (I haven't watched Wednesday and I haven't seen "You") and to me, the acting just a felt a bit too monotone at times. I haven't seen Wednesday but I heard that's the main shtick she does and it feels like maybe she tried to put her Wednesday role into Astrid and well, it just comes off a bit bland. I know she's the big horror girl of this moment and she might be good in other things but for this character, she was just okay. Honestly the worst part of the movie for me was the ex-wife plot. The idea was interesting and I liked the backstory but the execution in how she was handled through the majority of the movie was horrible. She barely does anything and just when you think there will be a big showdown between her and Beetlejuice, she's taken out in like 20 seconds. Just awful. Also the Soul Train scene, I thought it was cute that it was a little throwback to the show of the same name but I agree that the sequence went on for a little too long. Anyway I do agree that the film had too many plots going on and it really should've stuck with one or two, not like 3-5. My choice would've been the ex-wife plot and had it fleshed out more. But eh, it is what it is. I didn't mind this film, it was okay and after seeing the Crow remake that was just awful, this was a nice refresher, at least for me anyway.

My thoughts on this one can be summed up by a quote from the late Gene Siskel - ‘I liked it while I was watching it and as soon as it was over, it didn’t mean anything to me.’ A lot of the jokes landed for me on first viewing but the more I think back on the film, the more problems I have with it. The script is way too busy, there’s too many plot threads that don’t go anywhere, Winona Ryder is just playing herself instead of how Lydia was established in the first movie etc. . Something else you I don’t think you mentioned was all the musical sequences. There’s like 5 or 6 different musical sequences in this movie (as opposed to the 2 iconic ones from the original) and it just feels ultra forced. Like they’re trying desperately hard to create the next “Day-O” moment. I wouldn’t call the film outright awful. It has some fun moments. Overall though? Not as good as the original.

Dont quit guys, stay strong .

For only the 2nd time I walked out of the theater after being so excited for this movie. First 30 min I thought, "This is choppy." Second 30 min I thought, "I need to leave now before I fall asleep." This movie was overhyped. One of the worst movies I have seen in a while. The script and editing were soooooo bad.

Does Jenna Ortega get to say "Nice effing model!" ? Thanks for sparing us. Hope something exceptional is around the bend

people need to STOP CASTING JENNA ORTEGA AS THE MAIN CHILD CHARACTER

I always thought Burton was overrated. He had a few great tricks up his sleeve, but when they ran out he never learned new ones.

This looks like a high end channel, I assumed it had LITERALLY millions of subscribers. I don't see why it doesn't, so I'll do my bit 🤙🏽

Beetlejuice on xanax after a long talk with Human Resources Department. I could see the difference just watching the trailer but i hoped it was jist a fluke about the scenes they chose. Nope. It's literally just old ass, tired version of Beetlejuice. "The ghost is toast" should be the tagline. I also hate fan service. Instead of being creative and coming up with new material, they just re-filmed all the viral scenes from 1988 like "Hey remember this? You loved this scene before so here it is again, just low testosterone." They do that shit with every single legacy sequel like they can't think of anything else. I hate Hollywood and the film industry is toast. 80s and 90s were peak film quality. Computers and greed killed the movie biz.

yes the Maitlands made Lydia want to live they made her believe in GOD at the end of the movie should wouldn't dissect a frog because it was against her religion

New subscriber. You speak the truth and please keep talking like me and my friends. Fuck this no talent cash grab rehash bullshit excuse for filmmaking.

Now that was cool you guys changing the physical logo sign to green-themed. A subtle nod to practical effects. 😉 As for Beetlejuice 2, it isn’t bad, it isn’t great. It had plenty of opportunity of being better, especially after all this time. I mean, Top Gun 2 set the best example! Beetlejuice 2 felt like a slapdash script, or-a now dated reference-a straight to DVD sequel.

Instead of paying to see this, I'll be routing those funds into the UHD copy of Red Dragon. A much better purchase.

I figured it would be this much. The original film had a certain edgy raunch too it that they could never get away with in today's woke feminist Hollywood.

The musical number was fuckin awesome lol

6:00 was my biggest issue with this.. Even if they didn't keep them in the movie , they could have at least shown them With their distorted monster faces With different actors in their clothes With a little back story of how they moved on..

I read something about when Tim Burton was asked why the Maitlands are not in the sequel. He said the Maitlands are ghosts and that they never age. I felt that was a lame excuse to not at least include Geena Davis since she still looks gorgeous! There's things that could have made this film as much a masterpiece as the first film. But it has these very awkward moments that could be altered to make some scenes work better or removed entirely. The stop motion segment looked like right out of James and the Giant Peach. Cool, but i'm not sure it fits for this movie. No epic Harry Belafonte Shake Shake Senora sequence. I wanted more of Monica Belucci's character but it felt like a whole scene or something got cut in the third act. The stakes were real but then abruptly over. The whole bit with Astrid's father felt unnecessary. It's a very confusing line because it bounces back and forth off of deciding if it wants to be a Beetlejuice sequel or a live action adaption of the cartoon, which is cool too, but you can't make both work in a film. Maybe two films, one where it's buddy co-op and then set up for a selfish hidden agenda in a third film or something. However I think you guys hit the nail on the head in terms of how the first film is a crazy wacky story but told well.

What an excellent review,,,,covers all angles,,well done! ,,,,The Neutering of Beetlejuice,,,” amazing

Hang in there fellas lol love your reviews!! I'll keep clicking like & fingers crossed more people see your videos and subscribe! You guys deserve it!

Perfect interpretation and analysis of this film. You hit every note that I felt walking out of the theatre. You just earned yourself another subscriber and champion for your channel! Keep up the great work, guys!

I can't get over how much Matt looks like Andy Samberg.

The Soul Train was a reference to the TV dance show Soul Train from the 70's. The man that was acting as the conductor was meant to look like Don Cornelius the show's host and creator.

Good review fella! Keep it up! 🤘

Gen z when they have their own money for movies are going to hate this stuff.

Agreed with everything and I thought Winona Ryder and the Lydia character was the worst part of the movie. I understand you’re not the same person you were at 15, but they didn’t set it up like she had a major change. WHAT HAPPENED to make smart, strong, dry, sardonic Lydia this neurotic, naive fragile woman who falls for a jr Otho?

I felt the exact same way. Loved the first as a kid. I hated this film. I walked out angry and confident that Hollywood is dead. I don't understand how people can enjoy this at all.

It can’t be worse then Disney Poo Wars??? 💩

Honestly I love Beetlejuice I wouldn't even care if he was on a cereal box I love Beetlejuice this movie was great and that's my opinion so and I'll definitely watch it a thousand more times

THANK YOU you nailed all my thoughts exactly

I had alot of fun wirh this movie. Honestly if it just had an extra 40 minutes to do Beatlejuices GF a better arc then i would have been happy

I don't necessarily disagree with these guys assessment of the movie but it still rocked.even though its not the real thing.

Love the green

We didn’t need this movie. 🙄 Thanks for the review, guys.

Red Letter Media called, they want their show back.

14:33 😂 had me laughing I really don't know what it is with this generation and the perm hair

So if something isn't Shawshank Redemption, it sucks? How pretentious can you get? It's a movie, we all see them for different reasons.

I went with 7 people to see this and we all came out of the theater hating the film, it just didn’t capture the same feeling the first did, I gave it a 1.5 out of 5.

did bro dress up as alec baldwin on purpose?

Everything about this movie felt like a mini-series stuffed into 105 mins of Runtime with no clear idea of satisfying resolutions for every storyline due to making it a movie

Ok, I'm only half way through the review, but have to say... finally! Finally someone fucking says it. Catherine O'Hara 100% was Moira Rose, NOT Delia! I've watched review after review waiting for someone to point that out and no one has even once said it. She completely changed her charecter. I live her to death in Shitt's Creek but that was not Delia! Reminded me of how in Scream 3 and all the other following movies Courtney Cox basically started to turn Gale Weathers into Monica Geller. She was never cooky in the first two, then all of a sudden she's like a total Wreck and joke of a person. I hate when they do that! Sorry, rant over but I was so happy you guys felt the same way. You nailed this review! Just found you guys, but I can't wait to see all your other reviews now!

I think that there is a good movie in there, if you remove the other 2 (or 3?) movies they crammed in. I was sufficiently entertained for the $6 to watch this trip through nostalgia. Jenna Ortega was far above and beyond the worst thing about the film. Some producers saw Wednesday and thought that she could do anything. Turns out, she's only proficient at being Wednesday.

I was wondering when the this review was gonna drop, knew you guys would take a massive dump on this. I too was "meh" going in. And as a huge fan of the first I didn't even care about a sequel which says allot. Went to go see it Monday afternoon and got home, cracked a beer (I snuck 2 into the theatre) popped in the original (on vhs) wrote up some points and shot a equally angry review on this.. Funny folks who like this movie just say "no it was good". BUT WHY? Why was it good, people who says it's good don't give any reasons why. I think people are just fine with mediocre movies these days, but mediocre from good film makers just doesn't cut it, especially with huge budgets. Not even sure this is mediocre, maybe less than. Enjoyed this review boys, cheers. Oh yeah the only good character in this was the Priest, give him more screen time and lines!

Agreed. Awful movie.

I remember watching this movie with my wife, and we honestly said the same exact thing. The music for the ending was too long the soul train was funny but man do they drag it so it wasn't funny anymore. Beetlejuice wasn't as hype up and looney as he was in the first one. And Lidia? Who the fuck was she?? She doesn't have that power that she once had. We try to make excuses because she lost her man, but we kept going back to "wtf happen to her" again, because her character sucks ass!!! Thr douchy boyfriend was pretty funny, though and waaaaay to many side stories we compare the first movie of course because it had 2 stories. The former owner now ghost try to remove the family out and beetlejuice wanted to married Lidia it was simple and for ANYONE to understand what was going on. But this trash beetlejuice 2 just had waaaaay too many bullshit that made no sense!

Have you decided that you will provide the underdog assessment by default. Nearly everyone who expresses an opinion liked the Monica Bellucci stapling scene that you didn't like. This doesn't invalidate your views, but it makes them suspect. Is the theme of the channel that you provide contrary takes?

Yeah I'll definitely avoid this movie. Any plans to review the new matt walsh movie?

Definitely had no hopes for this 😂

This movie was not good. I really didnt appreciate the absence of the maitlands. That's a huge one for me. The maitlands were the emotional through-line of the original. We were seeing the movie from their perspective because they were basically playing the straight man. So they plucked the main characters from the sequel and we're left with the crazy side characters that no one can relate to. It was too weird. I agree with Winona rider in regard to lydia most likely wouldn't have had kids. I dont like jenna Ortega and shes once again infected another ip I adored. The character of beetlejuice doesnt need to be expanded upon. I dont want to see him working in an office. That's pretty ridiculous. There were way too many characters and too many plot lines converging all at once felt unnatural and forced. Michael Keatons performance was very sedate. Not once did I see him light or smoke a cigarette. He constantly kept the timbre of his voice really low where as the original his tone and inflections were all over the place. In the original film he would flip from calm to manic in the same sentence. What they did with Charles Deetz character was detestable. Either have jeffrey jones reprise his role or dont have that character in the film. It's that simple. Also beetlejuice appears when you say his name three times, so why was delores having such a hard time finding him when she had already said his name more than three times. Wheres beetlejuice?! Wheres beetlejuice?! Wheres beetlejuice?! That was pretty stupid and bad writing imo. There was one shrunken head guy in the first movie but the burnt up smoker guy was more interesting, so we now have a race of shrunken head dudes? That doesnt make any sense. Also how did beetlejuice get his head unshrunk from the first movie? I wanted to see how lydia grew up having two sets of parents. Being raised by ghosts would have been very interesting. It would have also been cool to see how lydia helped adam and Barbara cross over. And mcarthur park playing at the end? I've always hated that song. It's almost like every move this movie made was deliberately designed to annoy fans of the original film. I personally feel like I've been slapped in the face.

10:30 I feel like she was acting more like Moira than Delia

I don’t think it was bad. Not great, but in the middle. I enjoyed it. Going to see it a 4th time :)

Ugh damn 😒 I was looking forward to this one

I haven't seen this yet, so I don't have much input, but I haven't watched one video from this channel that I haven't agreed with, so there's that.

Maybe you guys should review old movies, that way you could see something good. Do Predator or Die Hard or Aliens or ANYTHING...just as long as it’s good.

the new red letter media, great review

Great review! You guys are 10 out of 10!

Thanks for the review guys. I didn’t want to see this slop but I did want to know what it was like

I didn’t think it was as bad as these guys did. I gave it a 5/10. Average/below average but couldn’t give it the 👍recommendation. Too many plot points that don’t result in satisfying conclusions.

Have you guys read the "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian" script? I read it last night. It would've been an infinitely superior film to what we got. Nothing in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice can touch the moment in BGH when "Beetlejuice becomes a merman." Highly recommend.

Like this movie suffered from a bad case of ADD, I wouldn't say ADHD since you said his energy was really low.

CRAZY opinion here… how about y’all watch movies you want to watch?

I’m still baffled at people who don’t understand or get this movie or think it’s too overly populated… First of all this is a very Beetlejuice and Tim Burton movie that has very close contrast to the original as far as humor and story goes. All the side characters that are in here are not supposed to be major or have full on stories that finish or end because they’re already explained in the beginning of the movie or right there as a character themselves are talking about their lives. They all have their little mini arts and it’s over. Nobody supposed to be substantial we get the family story everybody’s reunited everybody’s explained for. Dolores the ex-wife could’ve had a little bit more at the end, but I was satisfied with everything. There’s a lot of horrible sequels and this was fantastic. I was grinning ear to ear when watching this and I really want to go see it again.

This reeks of Coming 2 America. Not funny. Too big of a cast (full of big names who want a role for the sake of it) and totally nonsensical plot.

Movie dawgs

I enjoyed it

Even the makeup is worse and inconsistent

Haha ha fuck this movie. Woke shit was down. Bad writing up. Still had a girl boss. Great editing. You guys looked like you dressed each other at Old Navy. Come on, bring back the movie. Shirts remind us what good movies used to be.

You two half century queens are complaining just for the sake of it. You must be the life of the party.

stupid title, CHANGE IT

You guys are contrarian for the sake of. You have all the success you deserve

Everyone wants some deep story about BEETLEJUICE😂😂😂 yall its really not that deep

It stunk

I loved this film, yall seem bit stuck up

It was actually good. You clowns must’ve never seen the cartoon. Beetlejuice always had a gut. The crow sucked but you’re wrong on this one hard.

Saw this on opening day & I couldn't agree with you guys more. Delia had one hilarious part, when she thought she was being attacked by a moose LOL. Other then that I thought this movie had characters that were pointless. Monica Bellucci & William Dafoe esp. They robbed Keaton of screen time. Completely pointless. Too many plots was the downfall of this movie. Oh & Delia sells the house as soon as her pedo husband passes away. No house, No sequel. Way to go Tim Burton. Great review guys, keep it coming. I should be allowed to say Bettlejuice 3 times and get a refund LOL. Cheers guys.

These guys want to be RedLetterMedia so bad but also want the grifting audience too. Good lord.

You guys just got another sub. Im interested.

I dont know.i still liked the movie.

most reviews has said it was weak, glad to find this out I want to be entertained not disappointed and it sounds like a waste of time and I'd be bored and checking my watch for lunch time.

Everything's Gay.

They just can’t ever leave a classic alone. Anything for a quick profit, this movie industry is shameless now a days….. Edit: 16:24 “White male” Couldn’t agree more you guys lmao, thats why I love HC reviews more than other huge channels cause they’ll say what everyone wants to hear so as not to lose subs or revenue. But these 2 always keep it real, respect 🫡🤌
