Is it woke?
That’s the first question that needs to be asked about any movie today.
shareNo it wasn’t.
shareNo. Just boring and pointless.
shareDid you find the original Beetlejuice woke? Otho was in that, so it would fall under that no?
For real tho, no it wasn't except a few aspects like the neighbor's daughter which was def random, but that was a scene less than a minute.
It made money, so no it isn't woke.

No, it really isn't.
If woke means there's female protagonists, the original movie had that. If woke means some of the male characters aren't portrayed in a sympathetic way, the original movie did that too. So if anything the original movie was woke and so was this one. And I like both.
shareThe proper term for woke means "aware and actively attentive to important societal facts" which means it is woke. I haven't seen it but I know some people who have and they've said that the whole suicide stuff from the original is sidestepped obviously because our attitude to suicide and depression has changed significantly since the 80's, so that's woke, despite some people desperately trying to change its meaning.
shareIt's not woke, it's terrible.
