Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - MOVIE REVIEW

Published: Sept. 5, 2024, 8 p.m.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the follow-up to the Tim Burton classic 'Beetlejuice', has now hit theaters worldwide. To be honest, I only saw the first Beetlejuice for the first time last week and while I somewhat enjoyed it, it's by no means a formative film for me like for so many of my other fellow film fans. Does the sequel have the classic potential of the original or is it another unnecessary and bland legacy sequel? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!
