Stay in the loop with my review of the new 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' film...
Sequels.
Let's be honest, they are NEVER as good as the original.
Well, unless we are talking about Tim Burton's exceptional 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.'
It was scary in a perfectly comedic way.
The graphics were nothing short of pure excellence and I can confidently say that I will not accept any negative criticisms toward this work of art.
With this film being a sequel to the one and only classic 'Beetlejuice,' the news of it's release was plastered all over social media. While most reviews I have seen are praising it's brilliance, there are many disappointed viewers slamming down their outrage toward the film and I must admit, I just do not understand them.
Some are expressing their struggle to decipher the plot to which all I can say is that is the sheer beauty of it. Beetlejuice is not meant to make sense.
It is random. It is uncanny. It is utterly ridiculous. But in the best way.
The majority of negative reviews I have seen are expressing their disappointment toward the writing of the film, saying it is poorly written and an overall disgrace compared to the original film.
I absoloutely disagree.
The first and main reason why is because of that plot twist. Pure genius. Viewers are roped into believing that Astrid, played by the talented Jenna Ortega, has found her first genuine love interest, Jeremy Frazier, played by Arthur Conti. But nope. You have that wrong.
He murdered his parents? He's not even alive? I'll say it again, genius.
I never saw it coming, I really didn't.
And can we talk about the soul train? Who actually came up with that? Because I thought it was brilliant. That whole scene, perfect. The dancing, the excitement, the pure oddness. I mean, the whole film can only be described as odd, but I just loved it.
The cast.
The cast were nothing short of phenominal.
Their roles were played to exception. You just know that if Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega are titled in the same project, it's going to be good.
And Micheal Keaton. He just has not changed. There was not a moment in the film when Beetlejuices' zest, humour and pure wit was let down.
That man was absoloutely not caught slacking.
You can say what you like about the film but honestly, that was the first of many, many times I will be watching it.
