Movie: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Okay, I'm going to sound like an old person here because I am one. But I find this in so many action films with special effects and CGI: it's too dark and too fast. Maybe everything that's happening on the screen finds its way into my mind but I have old and slow eyes with vision that was never good since second grade. So for me, the speed of the action is annoying because I would like to notice everything that's going on. And I want to repeat, this isn't just a dis of this movie. It's all action movies. You need to watch them about twenty times, and possibly in slow motion, to catch half of what you're shown. And maybe that's the plan. That said, this was a very entertaining sequel. Keaton picks up right where he left off, and he's even older than me! O'Hara is always charmingly off-kilter and fun. Ryder: perfect. I don't know much about Ortega, but she was there too. My favorites were DaFoe as Wolf Jackson, head of the Afterlife Crimes Unit. Spot on. He could easily have his own spin-off. And Bob, of course. Gotta love Bob.
