The sequel to Tim Burton’s beloved ‘80s movie doesn’t give its stellar cast enough room to shine
Nostalgia has been the driving force behind so many recently released movies, with sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes of films that we love from the past dominating theaters in the last several years. From Ghostbusters to Indiana Jones, Scream to Spider-Man , Twister to Deadpool, It feels like now more than ever, we are desperate to rekindle the joy and laughter from pieces of popular culture’s past.
This all sounds like fodder for interesting tension and sharply-drawn characterization, but unlike past Tim Burton films that have a sentimentality as evocative as his visuals, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice mostly relies on exposition and hasty plot contrivances to move everything forward, making the stories feel rushed and superficial. We never stay with the characters long enough to attach to who they are and how they’re feeling.
