One small sign of imagination of the new movie "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is naming the sequel this way, which is also a reference to the fact that saying "Beetlejuice" three times, causes this living-dead-zombie creature played by Michael Keaton to appear. Hopefully, there will never be a third movie where they have this name repeated 3 times in the title - because what would happen then, the end of the world?
There is no sign of a movie here, just a series of disconnected scenes, showing dismembered dead bodies and a low number of appearances of the main character played by Keaton in any scenes, except for the end. There is nothing funny or entertaining and it is hard to understand why so many people like to see dead and dismembered zombies and think it's funny or interesting. Disgusting is never funny. Never will be.
This film stars Catherine O'Hara as Delia, Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Willem Dafoe as Wolf, and Monica Bellucci as Delores, with actors Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis not appearing in this bad sequel, perhaps because they actually read this non-existent and very bad script.
Given that the original Beetlejuice came out in early 1989, it is impossible to believe that after so many years and ongoing discussions of a new film, that a screenplay this bad was written and then greenlighted. At the end of this very bad movie, there is an extremely weird and stupid musical number in a church performed by all of the main characters. This last scene made no sense, but nothing makes sense in this movie, starting with why they decided to produce it in the first place.
The Rotten Tomatoes rating of 77% for this mess is once again crazy and dead wrong, with my rating 10% only for some of the special effects. This movie would be better suited for training aspiring makeup artists. This level of horrible movie making should be skipped by everyone.
