Pros: Fun entertaining ghost movie with good cast.
Cons: Not for everyone.
I have enjoyed movies and books dealing with ghosts or the supernatural in some way for many years. I just watched Beetlejuice< b>< i> again and I still really enjoy the movie. Adam< b> and Barbara< b> were looking forward to ...

Pros: Funny dark humor, great music, wonderful acting
Cons: None
I used to work at a video rental store when I was about 18, 19 years old. We had TVs set up throughout the store and we were allowed to show G and PG (some PG-13) movies while we worked. Partly to entice people to rent more movies and partly to keep us...

Pros: fun family flick
Cons: slightly hokey
Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) die! But that's only the beginning of the troubles they are about to have.
Being dead turns out to not be so bad, especially if you are a ghost lucky enough to get a house...

Pros: Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin ... and the wonderfully eerie music
Cons: --
Flipping through the multitudes of cable channels this weekend, we came across Beetlejuice! I hadn't seen that movie in years and have always loved it.
With a cast that everyone would love, who would dare not to enjoy this flick?

Pros: Smart comedy featuring outstanding acting
Cons: special effects were not always great
In the past few weeks a lot of bullshit has been going on around here. Epinions almost made me hurt my brain over EBD thingy I was planning to write after the weekend. Also, Halloween season made me go nuts with horror flicks. So today I was about to...

Pros: Burton’s dark fairy tale style, Elfman’s score
Cons: Could be developed more, weak DVD offerings
Does anybody create as magical a view of death as Tim Burton? In some ways Beetlejuice is a live-action creation of the same kind of macabre fairy-tale afterlife as Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. It's filled with ...

Pros: Great script, Great vision and Michael Keaton on tip-top form
Cons: Leaves some viewers cold
Ghost stories told from the perspective of the ghosts are something of a mixed bag. More often than not they are overrun with depressing sentimentality or buckle under the weight of their own self-important profundity (Heaven Can Wait and the positively...

by cuddlycritic , Feb 07 '04
Pros: Story is original, characters are well written, Micheal Keaton is brilliant
Cons: It's silly, hokey, and sometimes sick. Some people don't like that.
Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) are a young yuppie couple who are spending their vacation at home together restoring a big old house that they have bought. Their life is pretty normal until it all ends in a car crash. However, ...

by MrsNormanMaine - Top 1000, Apr 25 '01
Pros: Tim Burton's riotous imagination.
Cons: Some promising ideas never fully explored. Not enough Catherine O'Hara.
It was another grueling day at the studio today with ‘Fillies’. We’re still filming the big musical dream sequence with me in full horse make-up and tapping away in those fiberglass tap hooves. Helmut, the producer, kept trying to slide his hand up my...

by SKAD13 - Top 1000, Oct 28 '03
Pros: Laugh riot from start to finish, esp. Michael Keaton in the title role
Cons: Macabre humor not to everyone's taste (the poor fools!)
When Beetlejuice was first released in 1988, a friend of mine spent his entire lunch hour explaining the plot to me. I couldn't imagine anyone being enamored of such a bizarre-sounding comedy. I saw it a year later on cable TV, and it has become sy ...

Pros: Funny, Great Actors (and Actresses...let's be Politically Correct)
Cons: Kinda old, so technology for the effects aren't up to par for these kids nowdays
Ok, for those of you who have never read one of my movie reviews, I do not give away plot details. I will tell you a little about it to get your interest, but that is about it. So if you are planning on leaving me a little note saying "Why didn't...

Pros: Very fun...Wonderful Makeup...Great STory
Cons: Some Scenes might be Scary for young kids
Tim Burton made a huge impact on films in the 90s, he chose a totally new way of approaching films and taking them to a whole different world. Beetlejuice is one film that is an achieving example of Burton's genius behind the camera.
PLOT:...

Pros: Funny, interesting and original plot.
Cons: May be a bit scary for chiildren.
Michael Keaton, perhaps more famous for his role as Batman, plays a charismatic yet sinister ghost called Beetlejuice in this comedy horror movie
.
A young girl (Wynona Rider – in her first movie appearance) moves into a new house with her...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Dec 16 '99
Pros: sets, costumes, Michael Keaton, makeup, score
Cons: unstructured story, continuity, Baldwin and Davis are flat
"Beetlejuice" was a weird comedy horror film, and a major commercial hit. It proved that the success of "Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure" was not a fluke for director Tim Burton. It revived the then-struggling career of Michael...

by Lady_Pythia , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Visual effects and writing. Cast was well chosen and believable
Cons: More of a kids comedy than an adult
I loved "Beetlejuice"! I thought it was funny and fun to watch. I'm also a fan of the Pee Wee movies, so it would be fitting, I suppose, that this movie would become a fast favorite of mine.
A couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin)...
