Review: Beetlejuice [ENG/ ESP]

I definitely don't know why they bother making new versions of old movies, very few deliver, most are a disappointment, I'm not saying all, but the ones I've seen lately don't meet my expectations.

Definitivamente no se porque se molestan en hacer nuevas versiones, de películas de años, son muy pocas las que cumplen, la mayoría resultan una decepción, no digo que todas, pero las que he visto últimamente no cumplen con mis expectativas.

This weekend I decided to watch this movie, especially because of the characters. I don't remember having seen the first version, but I'm almost 100% sure that it was better than this one.

Let's remember a little bit what this story is about.

Beetlejuice came out in 1988, where we saw a family tormented by a ghost, a young woman haunted by this character, if she mentions his name three times he appears; after three generations we see this new version with the same family, but in this part the daughter of that young woman finds herself trapped in the world of the dead, hence a new story to show, and to unearth this being by saying his name: Beetlejuice...Beetlejuice...Beetlejuice

Created and directed by Tim Burton, we know that most of his films have that touch of mystery, suspense and terror, and for fans of this type of films, they always expect something new and exciting to see from this director.

For this new version of Beetlejuice, well, it's not the perfect story, where we'll see all this, it's mostly comical, if you can call it that, I think that's part of why I decided to watch it, it's not a typical horror story, but the characters attract with their things.

The story is entertaining, it's acceptable to spend some time, but it has no humor, or suspense, much less terror, I really don't know how to rate it.

Characters who saved the story.

Here we can say that the film had good characters, starting with Winona Rider and Catherine O'hara, followed by Jenna Ortega, these three women fulfilled their role, here we noticed the difference of the new generation, one after the other.

Of course we cannot forget the main character, played by Michael Keaton, although I felt that he lacked more presence in this story, being the character that characterizes the film.

The film lasts an hour and a half, thank goodness, because stretching it out would have been unnecessary, everything was concise.

The ending did seem a bit boring to me, there was a part that was unnecessary, but well, that's my humble opinion, I'll leave it to you, if you dare to watch it.

I definitely do not recommend it 100%, it's not a story worth watching again.
