BEETLEJUICE 2 BD

Everything has been thrown into this: several stories, massive comedy madness and invention. If you ever saw a Tim Burton and especially the first film, Beetlejuice, you'll get the idea – but MORE! If this is what happens after death, expect no everlasting peace, or... dullness! The last crazy scene is worth the price of the DVD alone. Fabulous. Ridiculous. Amazing!

On the day when I saw the original Beetlejuice, one of my nieces was born. She turned thirty six last month. Not so much a case of how time flies, but goodness me how long it's been. Yet here's a sequel. To the film that got me hooked on Tim Burton's movies. It was the imagination. Visual and otherwise. It had me. I've never looked back. Right from the off, you realise they don't make them like this anymore. For starters, it has full opening credits. Listing so many people. Like movies used to do. I cannot recall the last new film I saw which did that. I could be forgetting something. But then again... This doesn't have exposition or flashbacks to refresh your memory or get new viewers into the characters. Some detail is given as it goes along. But familiarity with the first film will be needed to get the most from this. A film which is the most Tim Burton film since I would say Edward Scissorhands. Years later, and Lydia is now a tv star doing shows about haunted houses. She's in a relationship with her manager. Her daughter Astrid is estranged from her mother. And at boarding school. Something happens - a rather inventive way of the film dealing with a potential issue. Makes sense when you see it - which brings the family back together and at the old house. Meantime, a certain trickster Demon gets wind of this. Schemes go into motion... Can't say too much about the plot of this without spoilers. Can say that the main cast members are great. In particular Jenna Ortega as Astrid. Once again playing a smart rebellious individual schoolgirl. But the character she does here is so different from Wednesday she really impresses as an actress. Michael Keaton is also amazing. The film could just be him doing stuff in character. But it uses him just the right way. You have to wonder at times where the script stops and the improv begins. Because he really really gets into this character. So much. So well. Another way it does things how movies used to. Practical effects. Models. Makeup. There's one or two blink and you'll miss them bits of greenscreen. Yet the rest is all old fashioned techniques. The attention to detail in these is incredible. It does have a lot going on. So you do wonder at times where the plot is going. Come the halfway point though it clicks. It's quite a ride after that. A couple of plot strands don't perhaps don't develop as much as they could have. But in a way I liked that they wrong footed me. This second half also really cranks up the imagination and the visuals. It develops the world of the story so much. Serious spoilers as to how but one little idea is so good I loved it. It does pace it's ending just right also. It isn't one of those films that doesn't know where to finish. This won't be for everyone. It will depend on how you rate the director. But it's got imagination and amazing visuals and it's a fun ride. So I had a really good time with it. Great stuff. Nothing extra during or after the end credits. The dvd goes into the main menu with no ads or trailers. There's no extras at all. Language and subtitle options: Languages: English, Castilian Spanish, Italian. English audio description. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish.

Great sequel,I'm always worried about sequels ruining the memory a great original film ,but this was enjoyable and watchable,not to much interference with original format ,believable plot and great acting from the original characters,no sign of a tired plot or lack of quality ,very good overall

Superb.

I absolutely love this film! It is so funny! Good quality dvd and a worthy sequel.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice ... go on I dare ya! I'm not going to compare this to the original movie except to say both have their virtues so to say. I found this movie very enjoyable, fun and funny. There are, like most movies, some slower moments and some faster. Overall thought there is a good pace to proceedings. The movie can be watched and enjoyed 'stand alone' it really is best to watch the first one before this one though. For me and taking in modern sensibilities this is a very good movie and worth a wath and re-watch.

Eh, it's not as good as the original and even though there are some good bits in it the original was better. This was kind of a Cash-Grab B movie that relies on nostalgia more than being good to sell. It felt kind of like a adult-kids movie rather than a true successor to the original film, the cast is good but the story.... meh. And it's also a shame that the Mayson's where not in it either, making it feel incomplete.

Brings together a lot of storylines to bring a new take of the Beetlejuice world instead of just retreading old ground

Je suis très très très content de on achat. DVD correspondant à la description. DVD bien emballé dans le carton avec le logo de la WARNER BROS. Les quatre DVD ( deux Blu-ray et deux Blu-ray 4K ultra HD) de haute qualité. Dix fois mieux que les plate-formes streaming. Le panneau lumineux est un vrai trésor pour les fan ou les collectionneurs de cinéma avec différents modes de lumière. Je le recommande à 100 %

Film che merita; finalmente il proseguo di un film che oltre 20 anni fa ha fatto la storia, e adesso continuerà la sua strepitosa ed incredibile meraviglia…

Good but not great

Attention version Canadienne pour la VF ! Ce n'est pas précisé.
