I do not believe that sequels to film from the 80's and 90's can re-capture the same magic.


Films from those decades just hit different. It was pre-social media. They had a home made feel to them, a purity that are missing in new all shinny digital films. I think I am going to feel the same way about this film as I did for the Hocus Pocus sequel. When I watched the Hocus Pocus sequel I was constantly reminded what made the original better, it looked cleaner, it looked shinier but it missed the heart of the original, felt very commercial and I am pretty sure I am going to feel the same way with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Too Gun: Maverick was better than the original.

But that is a rarity.
