As a big fan of the original, it pains me to say that the long-awaited sequel is a dull, scattered mess. There are too many storylines unfolding in this movie and not all of them are interesting enough to make us care. It's fun to see Michael Keaton reprising one of his most famous roles. He slips back into that striped suit like he hasn't missed a beat. But the movie doesn't really come alive (or become undead?) until the last third of the film. That's when the pace ramps up and the laughs start flying in rapid-fire fashion. By then, it's too late.
The original Beetlejuice was perfection. The sequel is a good example of why people say perfection is something you shouldn't mess with.

This is one of those movies that only makes sense if every single person on screen is a complete idiot who is bad at their jobs and makes incredibly poor decisions.
Worse than that, the whole movie seems designed to boost the singing career of the director's daughter. And the daughter, who has little acting experience, is tasked with playing a pivotal role. He shows complete disrespect for the audience.
Josh Hartnett seems to have fun chewing the scenery. But his performance is over-the-top. Allison Pill is the only one in the movie who can really act. She's tremendous and she deserves to be in movies better than this one.
