Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

terasamay Beetlejuice is a quirky offbeat dark comedy from the late 1980s starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davies play a recently deceased married couple who are living in their beautiful home as afterlives. They collaborate with a crazy ghoul named Beetlejuice to drive away any other people who come to stay there. The casting is really good and Michael Keaton was at the top at this time. Production design, as usual is the case for a Burton film is really good and darkness and morbid overtones are seeping through the frames. Tim Burton is not everyone's cup of tea and even his most accessible films aren't universally adored. So watch Beetlejuice with these things in mind.

Rasim Adem (Morbidium) I grew up watching 80's and 90's movies on TV, and to be honest I've never seen Beetlejuice until recently. This is a movie that knows what it is and uses it properly. I like most of the Tim Burton movies and this one surely is one of them. The story starts as warm as 80's fantasy/family movies with a charming couple and it's followed by entertaining wtf moments. When Keaton joins the party it becomes wild with crazy tempo. I try to avoid reading plots and watching trailers as much as I can, and this time not knowing what's going to happen paid off. Adorable simplicity and short runtime makes Beetlejuice more and more re-watchable. I am giving it 8/10 and recommending to anyone with a little bit sense of humor who wants to spend some joyful time on colorful world with tingling soundtrack. Best way to watch: Late night, with anyone, anywhere.

SimonJack I remembered seeing this movie in a theater when it came out. I recall the good makeup and camera work, but didn't think the story was that good. So, I watched it again these many years later and had the same impressions.The idea for "Beetlejuice" was quite novel for the time. And there can be little doubt about the superb job of makeup, animation and special effects. And while the idea for the plot had possibilities, the screenplay is very lame. It's a challenge to stay interested because it quickly becomes boring. So much so, that the one very good performance in the film – that of Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, can't salvage the film. The comedy is flat. What little of it I could find was dull. My five stars are solely for the exceptional makeup and artwork that went into the production. It deserved its Oscar for that, but the film otherwise is a dud.

Ben Milstein As you can see in the title I just re-watched this movie. It has been a long time since the last time, and I remembered I used to enjoy it a lot. On IMDb I saw that once I gave it a 10 so I knew I needed to re-watch it. I was not a mistake. Boy did I have a good time seeing this movie again, being invested with these wonderful characters, and being both in love, disgusted and creeped out by Betelgeuse (Yes, this is how you spell his name). I just love this movie and can't get enough from it. I now agree with me from the past that gave it a 10. This movie deserves a 10, for delivery of pure entertainment full of interesting world building, fun characters (even the Deetz's which you love to hate) and well thought out designs. As you can see I love this movie very much. BTW, the other day I tried to put Betelgeuse-like makeup on but I looked like a panda bear.
