Very well executed

That was an excellent one.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

How can anyone who has seen this movie not like it. Michael Keaton is perfect perverted creepazoid Beetlejuice who lives in the attic of a house along with a heap of other ghosts who have difficulty adjusting to the fact that they are dead. Beetlejuice is one of those characters in film you are either going to love or hate.I've long been a fan of Tim Burton. His movies are almost always weird, but there is almost always something endearing about his work. His films are almost always entertaining, and Beetlejuice is probably one of the more obvious examples.If you really think about it absolutely nothing happens in this movie. For those of you who've seen it, think about it. If you haven't yet seen it, just watch it for Tim Burton's really weird and wonderful imagination. It really is what makes the whole movie. This movie is a big departure for Michael Keaton. I found it really hard to believe he was actually a comic actor, but he is hilarious here and he is another thing that makes it worth watching.Just be aware this movie's story is almost nonexistent.

Incredible premise and funny idea of Tim Burton's morbidity which delivery each single scene in high class dark comedy,the highlights of movie probable are Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice and the trial center which all ghost are sending to make a propper registration always obeying a long waiting queue with astronomic number,more the old Sylvia Sidney in small role!!Resume:First watch: 1995 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25

You're probably already aware that 'Beetlejuice' is considered a 'classic' when it comes to modern cinema and I don't really disagree. However, upon re-watching the eighties horror/comedy today I still level the same criticism – not enough of the titular character, aka Michael Keaton.The story follows a young couple who find themselves dead after an unfortunate road accident. Now they're forced to spend the afterlife haunting their own dream home, now infested with the (annoying) living. And, in an effort to drive out these fleshy interlopers, they enlist the help of one particularly unhinged fellow spirit, known as Beetlejuice.It was directed by Tim Burton as (arguably) the height of his career. It's wonderfully Gothic with all his best trademarks all over the place (not counting the lack of Johnny Depp). The only aspect of the film that rivals Keaton's performance are the (completely non-CGI) special effects which add to the atmosphere perfectly.Maybe today the film is looking a little dated, but it's one that you have to suspend your disbelief and enjoy it for what it was at the time, rather than compared to today's filmic offerings. I wait for the (depressing) day when I hear it's going to be remade with all CGI environments. That will probably happen, but no matter how much computer trickery they employ, they'll never be able to CGI another performance as good as Keaton's. And that's why the original will always stand out (and not just as an excuse to laugh at how unbelievably young Alec Baldwin looked back then!).

Burton is at his absolute ridiculous, out of the ordinary, downright weird best here! His sense of odd ball nuttiness was brought out perfectly in the characters. His use of stop motion animation only adds to the feel of the movie.BRILLIANT SETS. And now. For the best bit: Michael Keaton. THAT WAS ACTING. Not a boring moment to be had while he was on camera. I had no idea, he could act like that! His body language, delivery, his eccentricity! Whoever did his makeup did a great job.The only thing better than Keaton was the Dinner Party scene. That if nothing else gets an 4 on 5 from me. The actors acting out that scene stayed in character so darn well, I watched it twice. Watch the movie for that bizarre and hilarious scene if for nothing else!
