Keaton's best performance as he stated. Suites your lonely, sad, wanna-laugh days.

I love this movie so much I watch it every halloween if it's possible

This is the first time I watched this movie and I quite understand the fuss about it. First thing I noticed though, was damn! Alec Baldwin was so gorgeous. lol.

Maybe it's just me but there's nothing special about this movie. There's nothing that stood out that made this movie great, maybe it held up better when it came out but the movie isn't hilarious nor scary I do like some of the concepts when it came to ghosts and some of the charcters were likable but nothing extraordinary when it came to this movie.

i like the man with the tiny head

Divertido personaje que hace lo imaginable para que le convoquen y hacer de las suyas a humanos y a espititus.
Divertida, ironica y con el sello especial de Tim Burton

Probably hampered by the fact I did not grow up with this movie, seeing Beetlejuice for the first time today was a somewhat middling experience; very much the opposite of what I expected given this movies prestige. While it's excellent use of practical effects and physical comedy shouldn't go unnoticed, I can't shake the feeling that this movie didn't really do anything special or unique to warrant it's heralded status. Some gags fall flat, others try too hard and come off forced. The story is nonsensical and absurdist to the point of incoherency, but I'm gathering that's a virtue to most viewers of Burton's 80's and 90's films?
Just not for me, but I'm sure if I'd have been shown it in my formative years I'd possibly have had a different opinion/attachment like many seem to share online.

I had never seen it until now. I know it is like a classical film with all of Burton's greatness and maybe it is because all of what I knew that, even though I liked it, I kind of expected more. It is funny, it has great moments, but the closure of Beetlejuice was what I felt loose. I would watch it again, but it didn't become in a fav.

I literally love this movie. And i know that Michael Keaton has not a lot of Screentime, but boy: When he is ther, he gives you a hell of a show.

And this setdesign is great -even to this day.

The overall tone of the movie is dark-ish but also uplifting. I loved it as a kid and had the best time rewatching it.

He’s the ghost with the most. Beetlejuice is fun and entertaining Tim Burton classic. In this most unusual haunted house story, a recently deceased couple seeks out the mischievous Beetlejuice in order to rid their house of its new owners. The film has a terrific cast that includes Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder. Keaton and Ryder shine, delivering great performances that add a lot of charm and personality to the film. Additionally, Burton gives the film a unique and distinctive visual style, and Danny Elfman matches it with a wonderfully whimsical score. However, the effects and style of the film are quite dated and Burton’s vision gets a bit too surreal at times. But overall, Beetlejuice is a hauntingly fun and outrageously enjoyable romp.

Original and great fun. Despite some flaws. Like why can the dead couple not be heard in some scenes yet are heard while under sheets ? When in a previous scene the Guide Book of The Recently deceased said “the living can’t hear the dead ?”
Why disfigure themselves to make scary faces when they can’t be seen ? Which they already tried to scare the guests in a similar way earlier. How can they suddenly control everyone to dance when they didn’t have powers like that in previous scenes ?

"Beetlejuice" is the first of Tim Burton's major movies to feature the Gothic horror look he is now famous for even if most of the time that Gothic look is the setting for some humorous escapades. Before this "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" scored pretty highly but I think it's pretty clear to see that "Beetlejuice" is what scored Burton the "Batman" gig. I really enjoy "Beetlejuice" because of the crazed performance of Michael Keaton in the title role. He talks fast and plays dirty. It's too bad he's not in the movie more as I think he logs about 15 minutes of screen time. The movie moves along pretty slowly between Keaton appearances but there are enough cool old school special effects to keep things interesting. Being a fan of stop-motion effects will make up for a lot of the slow parts. "Beetlejuice" isn't fall down funny but its got enough strangeness and wild Keaton antics to rate pretty highly with me.
