Good movie! Admittedly I was a little surprised how little happens across the opening hour or so, I checked the run time out of curiosity at around the 70 minute mark and was surprised that I only had 20 minutes left. To be fair, that does at least show the film doesn't drag at all. It's entertaining enough, I just thought more was coming. Michael Keaton is the star of the film no doubt, very amusing stuff from him as the titular character. I only knew he was in this as I saw him in the trailers for the new one and could tell he would/will be a lot of fun in the role. Winona Ryder is also good value, the rest are all fine, at worst. The music, sets and effects (esp. the stop-motion!) are also pluses. No better time to get this logged given the sequel is out now. I did enjoy <em>'Beetlejuice'</em>, hopefully the same can be said about <em>'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice'</em>.

Prepare yourself, embrace the spooky vibes, and dive into the world of the iconic movie Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice is a beloved cult classic that captivates viewers with its mix of cheesy comedy and thrilling moments, all brought to life by the genius of Tim Burton. Michael Keaton steals the show with his phenomenal portrayal of the titular character, leaving you tempted to chant “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” for a taste of his creepy yet humorous presence. Wynonna Ryder and Catherine O'Hara shine in their roles, adding a breath of fresh air to the film. The chemistry between Lydia and Beetlejuice is unforgettable, blending the eerie with the emo in a timeless dynamic. Gina Davis delivers a standout performance, solidifying her status as a true legend of the screen. The male cast members also excel, providing some of the most hilarious and memorable scenes in cinematic history. The film expertly balances the realms of the supernatural and the mundane, drawing viewers in without going too far into the fantastical. Beetlejuice's lasting impact is evident in the annual Halloween costumes and themed events, building anticipation for the upcoming sequel. It's safe to say, we all have a soft spot for Beetlejuice.

"Beetlejuice" will undoubtedly be difficult to surpass certainly in terms of pure visual imagination which incorporates some sets skewered at desperately crazy angles and outrageously cluttered administrative areas and waiting rooms where you can literally sit in monotonous silence for months at a time while listening to muzak. Tim Burton excels marvellously behind the cameras to deliver what is probably one of the most quirky films to come along in recent decades. His unique visuals strive to achieve an almost Georges Melies quality to them as Burton places all manner of incredible visual marvels on the screen and they are given an added dimension with generous splashes of garish colour all over the place. This film is unquestionably an amusing and appealing piece of entertainment and it is difficult to see how it could possibly be bettered and anyone would be certifiably insane to even try.

Thin on story but the practical effects are good and Michael Keaton is a lot of fun even if he doesn't fully arrive on screen until the 40-minute mark. My feelings more or less remained the same from the last time I saw, probably 10+ years ago. I probably don't place this in as high regard compared to others, but still was entertained. **3.5/5**
