“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” provides a perfect popcorn movie to escape to in air-conditioned cinemas. It offers deliciously dark and twisted eye candy but not much more.

The new film is darker, stranger, and it makes much more nonsensical sense than the original. It also focuses on three generations of women played by three terrific actors — making it infinitely more watchable.

A delightfully dark and often silly ride that gives us a taste of classic Burton that of course won’t beat the original in many fans’ eyes just like most sequels, but will give that nice hit of nostalgia and enough of something new to keep most happy.

Just like the Maitlands in the 1988 original, this entry seems to be stuck between two worlds, often working as a tuned-in sequel to the first flick but other times failing to capitalize on established material.

Burton is clearly endeavoring to maintain the same tone of carnivalesque horror-humor, but there is something about the new film that feels too modern, too digital, and too overdone
