So I just saw Beetlegeuse Beetlegeuse. And what a refreshing film it was. Far too often going to the movies as been to see your favorite IP advance its story build an ever growing universe. Not here. The original Beetlegeuse is an all time favorite. One of the blocks of Tim Burton's eccentric and excellent film catalog. It's such a unique film and great film that I was curious, how do you follow that up 40 years later. Well they didn't, really. What Tim Burton crafted here is a fever dream based solely on nostalgia. And one great Halloween film which I'm sure will become fall time viewing for the entire family. The whole film fills us who were around for the original full of great Halloween memories, even drawing some inspiration from the excellent Beetlejuice cartoon. For everyone else they've created a vibrant, small town America Halloween film that's appropriate for everyone. Micheal Keaton takes center stage in this one filling the film with one liners, forced karaoke, great entrances, and a romp around the after life. It was nice seeing Wynona Ryder back in a Burton film, joined by future odd ball actress Jenna Ortega. Filling out the cast is Katherine O'Hara and I forget his name. But they create just a fun, entertaining Halloween movie. Where the original is unique and can be viewed at anytime, this is purposely 90s nostalgia Halloween fun. Best way to sum it up. Could they have made another story of the afterlife plagued by our favorite ghost with the most. Sure. Would it of been better? Idk. They knew what they were doing here and when it's being released. Yes, nothing like the original, but perfect for this time of year. Just know that going in.
