Watch Beetlejuice For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

This is a great fantasy movie. It has great acting. It also has a great story line. It is a very scary movie. See it. If you like ghost stories you will like this movie. See it. It is one of the scariest movies of all time.

Burton is at his absolute ridiculous, out of the ordinary, downright weird best here! His sense of odd ball nuttiness was brought out perfectly in the characters. His use of stop motion animation only adds to the feel of the movie.BRILLIANT SETS. And now. For the best bit: Michael Keaton. THAT WAS ACTING. Not a boring moment to be had while he was on camera. I had no idea, he could act like that! His body language, delivery, his eccentricity! Whoever did his makeup did a great job.The only thing better than Keaton was the Dinner Party scene. That if nothing else gets an 4 on 5 from me. The actors acting out that scene stayed in character so darn well, I watched it twice. Watch the movie for that bizarre and hilarious scene if for nothing else!

A clever opening of a haunted house story. Tim Burton paints a daunting surreal picture. That being said, the house in this honeymoon/vacation get away is reflective of Alfred Hitchcock's, Psycho. Though Barbara played by (Geena Davis) tries to defend their house against interlopers, she and her charming husband never really know what to do. The film jumps around a lot too, but I won't delve into that. After a while, it finally sinks into the mud of our emotions. The whole film is about scaring people, I get that, but do we really need to laugh at others mistakes. This is not funny! I anticipate Burton films to be somewhat like this, taking someone like Edward Scissorhands and, making that a symbol of how, we in society are to laugh at someone's misfortune. No ... not buying into it. At least, this is the main premise to Beetlejuice. A film about a freakshow. Enough of the bad stuff though. (timeout!!) I will say the best part of this film for me was the set and design. It's fun to watch these people crack up; and, if this was Burton's idea, it's genius. The table scene is an absolute delight to see on screen, and it's scenes like these that can absolutely change a bad film to something meaningful to your day. Even if you go into this film depressed you are bound to laugh at some point. Once the funny emotions come out it's the point of no return, it's on. What I like, too, about this film is that there's an operatic tone, but sadly Burton doesn't do anything with it. It would have been good to see something like this flipped into a musical. All in all, a fun and fantastic film.
