Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Regie Tim BurtonEin tragisches Unglück lässt die Familie Deetz wieder eng zusammenrücken. Aus allen Ecken des Landes kommen sie wieder zusammen in Winter River. Und als ob das nicht schon schwer genug wäre: Lydia ist Beetlejuice bis heute nicht losgeworden, immer wieder wird sie von ihm heimgesucht. Auch die Beziehung zu ihrer Tochter Astrid ist anstrengend – wie das mit Teenagerinnen eben manchmal so ist. Doch Astrid tut mehr, als nur für pubertäre Unruhe zu sorgen, als sie auf dem Dachboden des Familienheims einen geheimnisvollen Nachbau von Winter River entdeckt, durch das sie ohne böse Absicht ein Tor zur von den Toten bevölkerten Unterwelt öffnet. In beiden Welten bricht dadurch zunehmend Chaos aus. Aber noch hat niemand dreimal hintereinander Beetlejuice gesagt. Aber das scheint auch nur noch eine Frage der Zeit zu sein…"
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Rezensionen & Wertungen
- jackmeat4. Dezember 2024My quick rating - 6.8/10 Oh, I have a bad feeling about this...and was I WRONG. Sometimes, revisiting a beloved classic can feel like tempting fate, but this flick proves that some doors to the Afterlife are worth reopening. Picking up decades after the original, the film follows Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) and her teenage daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), as they’re pulled back into the chaos of the Afterlife after Astrid inadvertently opens up that portal and Lydia has no choice but to summon the mischievous ghost with the most. This sequel strikes an impressive balance between honoring the original’s quirky charm and introducing fresh elements to the world of Winter River. Tim Burton’s signature gothic whimsy shines through, with expanded Afterlife world-building that feels both imaginative and true to the tone of the original. The balance of nostalgia and new material ensures longtime fans and newcomers alike will find plenty to enjoy. Michael Keaton reprises his role as Beetlejuice with unparalleled energy, slipping seamlessly back into the iconic role as if no time has passed. He brings the same chaotic charisma that made the original so memorable. Monica Bellucci as Delores adds a sultry, enigmatic layer to the Afterlife, while Willem Dafoe steals the show in his limited screen time with a performance that’s both hilarious and unsettling. Jenna Ortega is perfectly cast as Astrid, her performance brimming with the sardonic charm and relatability that fit naturally into the world of Beetlejuice. Winona Ryder’s return as Lydia brings emotional depth and continuity, bridging the gap between generations and grounding the film’s heart in the Deetz family’s struggles. The high-energy performances, inventive visuals, and clever callbacks to the original more than compensate. All of these elements make this a worthy sequel that captures the spirit of the original while breathing new life into the story. Fans of the first film will revel in the nostalgia, while new audiences will appreciate the film’s wit, charm, and vibrant imagination.
- christinav6113. April 2026It’s OK, I like it 
- Ty Leet14. September 2024A fun time that not only stays true, but expands, on the original - fast-paced and full of great performances. The juice is loose 🤙
- alexnoaholdmate5. April 2026Beetlejuice 2 (that's the title I'm going with) is... fine. It's just fine. If you're a big fan of the original, you'll find bits in it to make you chuckle. But it's simply not all that interesting, and the entire film feels like the answer to a question no one asked. As an example of the film's pointlessness: There's a scene, ripped off from the first film, where Beetlejuice takes over the cast's bodies and makes them sing and dance - only this time it's to MacArthur Park rather than to Harry Belafonte. It's probably the funniest moment in the film, and it's not a patch on its predecessor in the original. The plot, such as it is, is surprisingly boring for a film with such a pedigree. There's an underlying "Family is the most important thing!" sub-theme which feels tacky and at the same time underused - if you're going to go down that cliche'd road, at least make us feel something for the characters. But we don't. Not once. There's an entire subplot about Beetlejuice's ex-wife (what a waste of Monica Bellucci!) that is clearly only in there to fill in time, for it has absolutely no bearing on the greater plot at all. If all those scenes had been cut out, the film would have proceeded to the exact same denouement. They're worse than boring - they're unnecessary. The dialogue sounds like it was written by a high-schooler ("Wow! The afterlife is so random!" - yes, that's a direct quote). There's plenty of gross-out humour, if you like that sort of thing - but it manages only to be gross, never humorous. Michael Keaton does the best he can with the material he's given - of which there isn't much, oddly enough for a film in which he plays the title character we all came to see. The man probably has about 300 words in the entire movie. It's a film looking for a reason to exist. I hate to say it, because I know Tim Burton loves the characters - but it feels like a cynical cash grab and an attempt to exploit the nostalgia of those who remember the 80s. It's better, I suppose, than being bisected by a shark. But not by much.
- mikylace23. Februar 2026the barely shadow of what it was originally
- MeghannB6. Februar 2025Great “watch on a plane” movie. This might be a bit controversial, but I enjoyed it more than the original. Struck a good balance of quirky, sentimental, and grotesque.
- mickerdoo14. Februar 2026Not really into all the evil stuff or Burton in general, but I liked the design. The cast is insanely stacked.
- Callum1. Januar 2026⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – Familiar ghosts, slightly thinner magic. So many of the characters return, but time has clearly moved on — and the film actually leans into that. The family has aged, the father’s death becomes part of the emotional and narrative weight, and there’s a sense that this world hasn’t been frozen in amber just because we’ve been away. It’s a smart choice, even if it changes the texture of the story. One absence is felt, though. With the actor who played Otho no longer with us, that particular brand of pretentious chaos is missing, and you do notice the gap. The film compensates by introducing new energy instead, most notably through a figure from Beetlejuice’s past. That dynamic brings a different flavour of menace, and I couldn’t help getting strong Sally-from-Nightmare Before Christmas vibes — which makes complete sense, given it’s all still Burton DNA at work. What worked best for me was how much of the original flavour was allowed back in. The desert snake, the running marriage gag, the familiar faces and rhythms — all the stuff that made the first film special is at least acknowledged, often lovingly recreated. And honestly, why wouldn’t it work again? That magic was the point. Does it fully recapture what made the original lightning in a bottle? Not quite. The weirdness is still there, the style is still strong, but the edges are a little softer this time. Still, it comes close enough to feel worthwhile rather than cynical. Definitely worth a watch — especially if you loved the first — just don’t expect it to completely out-haunt the original. 🍷 A second glass of the same dark cherry cordial — still sweet and strange, even if the first sip hit a little harder.
- Midlife Adventures7. März 2025Eh… had a couple of moments.
- LordDeTracy15. Februar 2025"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" doesn’t quite live up to the hype as a sequel to the beloved original. While it clearly aims to recapture the quirky charm and dark humor that made the first film a classic, it often feels like it’s trying too hard. The humor, instead of feeling organic and effortlessly funny, comes across as forced and overdone. The magic and spontaneity that defined the original are largely missing, replaced by an over-reliance on nostalgia and spectacle. While there are a few enjoyable moments, the film ultimately struggles to justify its existence, leaving longtime fans wanting more.
- Jkrilin11. Oktober 2024The film maintains the chaotic and fun spirit of the original, but with a modern twist that revitalizes the story for a new generation. The film continues to explore the strange world of the dead, this time delving into the rules of the afterlife and the new dynamics between the living and the ghosts. While the plot remains a dark comedy, it manages to balance moments of nostalgia with new visual and technological elements that impress without losing the handcrafted charm of the original. Michael Keaton returns as Beetlejuice, and his energy remains as vibrant and sarcastic as ever. Alongside him, new characters bring freshness and even wackier situations, which enriches the story without feeling like they're repeating what we've already seen in the '80s. The art direction and visual effects are a feast for the eyes, with a clever use of modern technology that still respects Tim Burton's gothic and eccentric style. In short, Beetlejuice is a sequel that feels like a reunion of old friends, with dark humor, bizarre moments, and a unique visual aesthetic that remains a delight for fans of the macabre but fun.
- Dellvon C. Ford17. April 2025The first one was a classic....hands down !...This one should have been left as an idea. So much of the magic was gone from this piece I dare say it was a bad movie. Too much of the same ole same ole. I was hoping for something visual excellence and jokes that would push the risqué envelope right off the table. The cast was there...the story should have been better....honestly, it just seemed like they wanted to hurry up and get something done to kill the desire for a sequel.......First timers to the story may enjoy the effects and lame jokes but....this just wasnt it for me.
- CybrneticPlague10. Dezember 2025It was good, not quite as good as the original and the ending seemed rushed. But I enjoyed it
- rg94001. November 2024I was pleasantly surprised by this legacy sequel. Tim Burton's visual flair is present throughout the movie, from practical effects to zany characters to just his sense of the quirky and macabre. If you are a fan of his madcap style, you'll be glad to know that this is the sharpest movie he's made in years. That said, I think the main drawback is that every character is sort of in their own movie. There are plenty of cool ideas thrown around, but they don't gel or play off each other. We have a phenomenal character introduction for Monica Bellucci, but her actual role in the movie is negligible. Willem Dafoe is sort of just having a good time. And there are other new characters with intriguing backstories that don't really get the impact they should because they get quickly glossed over to move to the next event. In some ways, that leads to a diverse set of stories, a frenetic pace, and something always attention-grabbing on screen. However, it also sort of causes the movie to end without feeling like it had as much of an impact as it could have. Still, the style is good enough to carry the movie. Also, Tim Burton has really done a great job collecting such a strong array of eccentric character actors. I was worried that Jenna Ortega would sort of just play the same role she does in Wednesday, and though there are similarities, I feel like she is able to showcase a bit her of acting abilities to really differentiate the two characters. Overall, a solidly entertaining movie dripping with Burton charm that also feels like he threw a bunch of ideas at the wall, hoping some would stick.
- Jill Platts9. Dezember 2025Genuinely good sequel to a classic.
