Part 4/7:

While Beetlejuice’s box office success is undeniable, opinions about the film are mixed. The movie currently boasts an 82% verified audience score and an overall rating hovering around 80%. Many fans appreciate the return of Michael Keaton’s iconic portrayal of Beetlejuice, calling him one of the most memorable characters in film history.

However, some viewers express disappointment, noting that the sequel lacks the heart and tight storytelling of the original. The first Beetlejuice explored themes of outsiderhood, self-acceptance, and even temptation, woven into a darkly humorous story. The sequel, while fun, seems to lack some of that emotional depth, focusing more on spectacle and secondary characters.
