Fans of the original will likely be disappointed
The original Beetlejuice is legendary and I’m going to pretend this one doesn’t exist because seriously, it is. 🤔 The sequel just didn’t capture the magic of the original. It lacked the charm, wit and unique style that made the first film a classic. It felt like a cash grab rather than a real attempt to continue the story.
It’s a shame because there was so much potential
Hopefully, future projects will better live up to the legacy of Beetlejuice.
