8.6/10 stinky bananas
Beetlejuice is Tim Burton at his best. I would even go as far as to say Beetlejuice is a little stroke of genius by Timmy boy.
Burton does an excellent job of creating this purgatory-ish world that has colourful characters and great set pieces. It's campy in all the right ways.
The titular character, Beetlejuice, is fucking hilarious. Home run performance by Michael Keaton. Every time he was on screen he left me in stitches. I love Keaton, one of the best to ever do it.
Let's do a quick Top 5 actors of all time:
Nic Cage
Adam Sandler
Tom Cruise
Michael Keaton
Jack Black
No arguments there, right? All of those guys should be firmly in everybody's top 10, if they're not, then your list is incorrect.
Anyway, Timmy Burton couldn't quite figure out how to land this plane. The marriage scene at the end is a mess. Burtsy had no idea how he wanted the movie to end so he slapped some shit together and called it a day. I respect it.
Beetleguese. Beetleguese. Beetleguese.
