You never quite know what’s going to happen next.
That goes for the first one too.
shareIn the first one you didn't know what was going to happen next in a good way. It still had a cohesive storyline. In this one you didn't know what was going to happen next because the script was a mess.
shareMy family and I had fun.
shareThat's because you suckers went into this not really caring about the story. You just wanted to see Betelgeuse and Tim Burton wackiness and nothing else. People like you are why movies like THIS continue to exist.
shareThank you for your kindness.
shareAnd "thank you" for you and your family's rapid and wild stupidity.
shareYou said that because my family and I like this film, more films like this will be made - so a win for me then I guess.

But a loss for DevonteHuntley, who is already dreading his Ludovico technique session after the 2030 release of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
I dread nothing and that movie if it does happen and come out by then, may even fail. I'll laugh at you when it's not the movie YOU expect it to be and just proves my point. I'll laugh even further when it doesn't happen.
shareYeah, and a downfall for the quality of Hollywood as we know it. You will lead to its destruction when you all realize how gullible you've been to be supporting trash movies like this and the vail will be lifted from your blind eyes and sour minds. Then in the very end, I WILL WIN.
shareDude, he enjoyed the film.
He went to see a big, whacky blockbuster comedy film with his family and they all had themselves a good time.
It's fine that you didn't enjoy the film. But that means that you're the one who should be watching different stuff, doesn't it?
I feel like I’ve stumbled into a Monty Python sketch.
shareHe enjoyed everything outside of the actual story and his kids of course would be stupid and ignorant to that because they just like cartoony action and bright colors. They're liking the movie for all the wrong reasons which doesn't deserve to be liked all that much anyway if you went in understanding the context of the story, which is most important here.
shareThey're liking the movie for all the wrong reasons
Oh. Well, they probably failed to read your pamphlet on the rules governing film appreciation before they went in to the auditorium. Ushers really should be handing those out on the way in and asking questions on the way out.
I'd venture, however, that if you imagine cinema is solely about narrative or plot ('story'), then you have a less sophisticated understanding of the medium than do those 'stupid and ignorant' kids.

I'm sorry you're too dumb to understand that a person should like a movie mainly for the story and how well put together that is, not everything else outside of it. If that's one's attitude to how a movie should be judged, then you miss the mark of what it means to watch and enjoy a movie. If you want to defend that stance then you're no better than them and shows where your own critiquing lies. You might as well retire from these boards pronto.

Oh, I'm so dumb on this matter, that some of my favourite filmmakers barely employ narrative at all -- and certainly no plot.
Chantal Akerman, Jean-Luc Godard, Andrei Tarkovsky, Abbas Kiarostami, Luis Bunuel, Dziga Vertov, Bela Tarr, the Dardennes, Chris Marker, &c, all manage to get by without that sort of thing.
Get that pamphlet written and distributed as quickly as possible. You'll more or less destroy the European arthouse tradition overnight.
You all need to be thrown into a dumpster. Of course, support trash movies with no plot. What is wrong with you!!???
share“You will lead to its destruction”
Wow! I never realised that I wielded so much power!
You don't and never do. And your "power" is what's gonna kill Hollywood if they keep having the likes of you support trash movies like this. Many will catch on and realize the downfall in quality, stop seeing them, they'll lose money and Hollywood will go bankrupt. So enjoy your victory, but it will lead to Hollywood's end. Still want to be happy about that? No more movies for you then. :D
shareWell either I have power to destroy Hollywood or I don't have power - please make up your mind because if I do, then I need to start thinking about buying a white cat, building a death ray and finding suitable island to build a Bond villianesque style secret hideout.
You don't really have power, only like a contribution because there's so many others like you in the world you only aren't going to bring about its destruction. Don't get yourself too high and mighty here or I'll help bring about your own downfall sooner.
shareI dare you to start saying positive nice things. I dare you!
share“I'll help bring about your own downfall sooner.”
Ok, well if that’s the case we really need to get our diaries sorted out. What dates do you have?
Actually, it’s veil (Helpful Andy).
shareI’m not generally into Tim Burton movies but I enjoyed it.
shareI agree with ''HellFire'' partially.
Some characters of this sequel were completely unnecessary.
