Movie Review: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2024 8:50 pm
The setup is clunky, lacklusterly acted, and takes too long.
Too many plot lines try to give too many actors too much screen time.
Winona Rider forgot she isn't playing Joyce from Stranger Things.
There is too much CGI and as usual it makes acting difficult.
I normally love William Dafoe but he is not good in this. William H. Macy would have been my choice.
Jenna Ortega was miscast. Her Wednesday Addams schtick is absolute garbage in this role.
Michael Keaton is incredible. He and Bob save the movie.
The villain was the best non-Beetlejuice character and should have been given more screen time. Tighten up the intro, shave a few clunky story lines, and flesh out the evil dead guy's character and this movie would improve by a full star.
3.425 stars out of 5
