Wanted to take my mother to see this for their birthday, did NOT realize how fitting that would've ended up being lol.
Let me get the cons out of the way first cuz there are not many and this film is incredible. Fast pace which isn't bad but leaves a lot of development left unattended to, the ultimate antagonist that changed Roz's life came last second rather quick and left rather quick, and meta-wise speaking what was the point of…
I barely remember anything from BeetleJuice 1, but this film I'm certain this film blew it out of the water. Not much to say about this either.
