As a seasoned gamer with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say that the return of Beetlejuice is like finding an old friend you thought had vanished into the Netherworld. The original was a gem of its time and the sequel seems to be following suit, drawing in audiences with the allure of Michael Keaton’s mischievous antics and the eerie charm of Tim Burton’s world.
The Tim Burton sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is swiftly approaching $100 million at the box office, having earned an impressive $41 million on its opening day this past Friday. This strong start for September cinema is quite remarkable, and if the film maintains its current pace, it could potentially secure the second-best opening weekend in history for films released during early fall. The anticipation surrounding Michael Keaton’s return to the big screen couldn’t be more different from the state of the movie industry just a year ago. Back then, strikes kept actors away from promotional events, which likely impacted last year’s film releases significantly.
The combination of Burton, Keaton, and Winona Ryder reuniting on screen seems to be drawing audiences into cinemas. Moreover, the inclusion of Jenna Ortega, who is renowned for her roles in Wednesday and Scream, has sparked curiosity among a newer generation of fans. What might not be as widely recognized, however, is that this film carries a distinct autumn atmosphere. With College Football Saturdays and a packed NFL schedule ahead tomorrow, many are seeking out something to evoke the crispness of the air, and this movie seems to fit the bill perfectly.
How Good Is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?
As countless people flock to cinemas to find out what the buzz is about, there’s a sense of anticipation in the crisp autumn air regarding the quality of the sequel, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” ComicBook’s Kofi Outlaw has given his take on it, applauding Tim Burton for returning to his familiar creative realm. In his opinion, Michael Keaton is still delivering top-notch performances. Despite the excitement surrounding this new installment of “Beetlejuice,” it’s tough not to feel a pang of nostalgia for the years that have passed.
According to Outlaw, when it comes to the filmmaking aspect, “Beetlejuice 2” represents Tim Burton rediscovering his old magic and developing fresh skills he’s acquired over the years. He further contends that both Burton and Michael Keaton remain in top form, with Keaton’s portrayal of Betelgeuse being the standout part of the sequel. However, it’s important to remember that while viewers might get carried away by nostalgia, they should also keep in mind that Keaton had limited screen time in the initial movie and this trend continues in the sequel as well.
He goes on to say, “Similar to Burton’s portrayal of the afterlife and mythology, it revisits a comical yet dark depiction of death. However, it is balanced with more profound moments that seem contradictory to Burton’s lighthearted and flamboyant approach towards gore and horror.
