BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE is the first Tim Burton movie I’ve liked in 17 years. I also haven’t seen the original in a very long time so most of the legacy sequel references went right over my head and I still thought it worked.

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE is ghoulishly fun! Burton honors his first film with throwbacks, all while expanding his characters and world to make a delightful new story. The whole cast got the assignment and delivers plenty of laughs. So many great set pieces in the afterlife too pic.twitter.com/ZEMnVsCdDP

Delighted by #BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice. The original is an all-time favorite, and this new one plays like such a joyous romp back into that world.

Michael Keaton doesn’t skip a beat. Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega’s mother/daughter storyline is a big winner for me — the element… pic.twitter.com/bWRY4w7adL

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is old school Burton zaniness and greatness. A loving tribute to the 1988 film as well as international cinema. Michael Keaton still has the juice delivering a hilarious and brilliant performance. The end MacArthur Park sequence is destined to become the… pic.twitter.com/j6Gq5YPTPr

Call me jaded, but too much punishing, decades-late sequel-itis left me unprepared for what a total blast I'd have at BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE, Tim Burton's best — and funniest — film in years. My @THR review of the #VeniceFilmFestival openerhttps://t.co/a31ZyDLxoN

#BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice Review: "It’s rewarding to have Tim Burton back in full creative command of the humor, the fantastical imagination and the gleeful morbidity on which he built his name"

My first review from Venice is out! I’m a huge fan of “Beetlejuice” so I was very curious what Tim Burton would do with “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” I ended up having a blast with it! https://t.co/YZTJdbH07y

‘BEETLEJUICE 2’ is a chaotic and amusing sequel that is far better than many recent Tim Burton films but doesn’t come near to the quality of any of his classics.

“Michael Keaton seems to have more energy than he did 35 years ago, bouncing off the purgatorial walls with hilarious gusto.”

Tim Burton is great again! His latest, ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ isn’t just a nostalgic retread — it’s a jolting reminder of what makes the director so darkly seductive. https://t.co/qixn2QqFJe

Review: ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ which premiered at the Venice Film Festival Wednesday, is a rats nest of callbacks and plot, so jumbled and overstuffed it’s almost abstract.

‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice’ is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. A masterpiece 36 years in the making. Keaton still has that magic touch & both he & O’Hara deliver impeccable comedic timing!Tim Burton continues to prove he is a master of his craft. A definite rewatch… pic.twitter.com/NaCKwAsRKK

#BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice has all of the fun reviving this horror-comedy from the afterlife. Tim Burton & the cast clearly loved making this movie, which is as bonkers, sweet, and twistedly funny as expected. The Juice is loose again, and it feels like old times. pic.twitter.com/jPgzNfFWjS

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice brings all the best weirdness out of Tim Burton.

Like the first, I left wishing for more Keaton screen time. The returning cast, the fully realized wild worlds, and newcomers are all fantastic. Plot gets a bit crowded.

It’s a ghoulishly creative trip. pic.twitter.com/9dCWTIXIYr
