Beetlejuice on palannut! Odottamattoman perhetragedian jälkeen kolme sukupolvea Deetzejä palaa kotiin Winter Riveriin. Beetlejuice kummittelee yhä Lydialle, jonka elämä menee ylösalaisin, kun hänen kapinallinen teinityttärensä Astrid löytää ullakolta salaperäisen pienoismallin kaupungista, ja portaali tuonpuoleiseen avautuu vahingossa. Ongelmien hautuessa molemmissa maailmoissa on vain ajan kysymys, milloin joku sanoo Beetlejuicen nimen kolmasti, ja ilkikurinen demoni palaa päästämään irti omanlaisensa sekasorron. (Warner Bros. Fin.)

A fine sequel to one of my favourite Tim Burton films (the favourites are completely different though). The logic was already haphazard then and it's not much better this time around, but who could be mad when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is such irresistible mayhem, genuinely entertaining and made with love for all things dead and undead.

I'm not a fan of the original Beetlejuice, so I went into the sequel unburdened by any expectations, but this really isn't my cup of tea. I'm sorry that Tim Burton has now traded his previously stylish and lush morbidity for nothing but infantile and recycled morbidity. When Michael Keaton wasn't rocking the screen (really, the highlight of both films), all the other humour absolutely passed me by. The plot holds together about as well as a house of cards, the way the bad guys are handled points to the fact that they were really only in the film as a crutch to move the plot along, and the main characters are almost insufferable. I appreciate the return to practical effects and stop-motion animation (or, for the first time in years, Burton has made a film whose visuals don't make me downright nauseous), but it doesn't really improve my overall impression.

Tim Burton is finally off the leash again, and honestly, it was about time. Where better to let loose than with the world he first introduced us to, packed with his signature quirky ideas? And he absolutely delivers. A sequel more than 35 years later is a bold move, but as a fan of Burton’s work, I can confidently say it was worth the wait. The only drawback for me was the somewhat rushed script. It opens up a bunch of storylines, then scrambles to tie them all together for an epic, totally off-the-wall finale that feels very Burton-esque. But by the end, you realize some things didn’t quite need to be there, didn’t make much sense, or were just unnecessary. Case in point: Monica Bellucci. Let’s be real—there are obvious reasons why Burton included her, but she didn’t add much to the story. That said, I’m still satisfied. This is what filmmaking should be—full of creativity, fun, and humor, with a cast that’s clearly having a blast. ()
Tim Burton returns to his creative roots and, after thirty-six long years, reintroduces us to the world of Beetlejuice and his malicious plans and schemes. The old Burtonian atmosphere, mixing both visual and practical effects, breathed on people during the screening. I enjoyed the return of the old characters, but also the arrival of the new ones (though the untapped potential of the macabre femme fatale played by Monica Bellucci is a shame). Burton still has good ideas and can translate them engagingly to the screen in his own grimly colourful way. Aside from the goofy Catherine O'Hara, I enjoyed Willem Dafoe's theatrical performances as the demon-faced "detective". Last but not least, I loved that the trailers didn't reveal one of the important plot lines. All in all, a weak four stars. P.S. Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetl... ()
