Beetlejuice

Summary: One of the best
Review: "Beetlejuice" is one of the best movies of the late 80's. Adam (Alec Baldwin) and his wife Barbara (Geena Davis) died in a car crash, and come back as ghosts living in their old house. However, some new people have moved in and Adam and Barbara want them out of their house. They contact a bio exorcist named Beetlejuice to help them get rid of the new, living owners.

"Beetlejuice" is a great movie for many reasons. Michael Keaton does a spectacular job as Beetlejuice, and Winona Ryder and the rest of the crew also do a good job. The special effects were superb and the script was also done well. Pretty much, there's not anything bad about the movie. If you like comedy/horror movies, I recommend you to get "Beetlejuice."

Summary: A FUNNY, FUNNY GHOSTS TALE.
Review: 3 and a half stars, actually. "Beetlejuice" was one of the biggest surprises in 1988, it revolutionized the visual effects field, established Tim Burton as a director with a huge imagination, put Winona Ryder on the map, and helped Burton & Michael Keaton to be signed by Warner Bros. to film their strongest 1989 project: "Batman".

"Beetlejuice" is a very funny ghosts tale with a lot of creativity and imagination, the characters are easy to love, the situations are funny and bizarre at the same time, all this translates into a very entertaining movie.

There are several memorable scenes in "Beetlejuice", among them a possession scene at the tune of Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat Song", another is the one on which Adam & Barbara (Alec Baldwin & Geena Davis respectively) are taken to the underworld offices.

"Beetlejuice" is a good option to see the gorgeous Winona Ryder in one of her key roles, to see the creativity of Tim Burton at his best, and to see a very funny supernatural comedy.

Summary: A modern day fairy tale
Review: A twist of rumplestiskin captured on film, starring michael keaton and geena davis in their prime. Tim Burton's masterpiece, rumbles with absurdity, and is wonderfully paced to the point where there is not a dull moment.

Rating:
Summary: Freaky, silly, wry and creative
Review: Ah, Tim Burton before he started taking himself too seriously. You have Michael Keaton unleashed, an unusally restrained Alec Baldwin and a supporting cast of known loonies all dancing to the puppetmaster Burton's tune.

Summary: A Grand Old Time
Review: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton star in this cartoonish type movie made by Tim Burton with style and is most certainly not a mainstream film. That's why it is fun to watch.

Summary: Pretty Good Movie, Ok DVD
Review: Although, I think that Beetlejuice is Tim Burton's worst movie due to its incoherency which results during scene transitions, its still a good movie with plenty of great moments and performances. Unfortunately the DVD is merely ok. Danny Elfman's solo music track is great but the image is waaaaayyy too sharp. This results in an overall granniness which is permanent throughout the entire movie. Fans of the film should buy this but the image gets a little annoying.

Summary: Burton's true debut!
Review: At the time of its release in 1988, 'Beetlejuice' was a huge hit. Although it does seem a little dated now, it still has some wonderful visual jokes (especially the characters in the waiting room). The laughs begin with the main characters' deaths after only 10 minutes. They look expectantly at a little dog who is balancing their car on a plank of wood over the edge of a bridge. He tip-toes off and they fall to their deaths. The film is full of satirical vignettes e.g. the after-life is managed by a number of desk clerks who have condemned themselves to an eternity as civil servants because they committed suicide. The Deetz's interior designer Otho is unafraid of all the ghoulish horrors that surround him, but yet finds himself in his most frighteneing moment when Betelguise removes his designer suit to reveal a 70's pastel leisure suit and he runs in terror.

Apparently director Tim Burton loved making the film as Warners stayed off his back for most of it, so he had greater freedom to improvise with the actors and the story. Half-way through its making, he didn't know how it was going to end. The stop-motion techniques might look a little dated but Burton was a big fan of Godzilla as a child.

Summary: See this movie !
Review: Awsome movie! I enjoyed the performances of :Michael Keaton (Beetlejiuce), Geena Davis (Barbara Maitland), Sylvia Sidney (Juno), and Catherine O'Hara (Delia Dietz). The graphics and special effects are funny rather than sick. I saw it two times before I really understood all of the details.
