Summary: Great movie, terrible DVD
Review: I am continually amazed at the shoddy treatment that some movies get in their DVD release. This DVD is simply a disgrace, especially considering what a great movie this is. I give the movie itself 5 stars; it's a wonderful example of Tim Burton's energy and style.This DVD has no extras worth mentioning. No deleted scenes, no featurettes, not even a lousy commentary track! To make it even worse, the film has been CUT DOWN from the theatrical release! I have never seen a DVD release before where you get LESS than was originally presented in theaters. My advice is to save your money until somebody figures out that when a movie is released on DVD, it needs to live up to the capabilities of the medium, and should always provide more material than was originally released, not less.

Summary: Defies Description
Review: Best not to analyize or explian this film.It's best to just sit back and let Tim Burton's wacked-out,visionary,hysterical gumbo wash over you,and just revel in the sheer,insane energy of it all.It's one of those rare films that has an anarchic,subversive mischief at it's core,yet is also very sweet,and well,just plain lovable.It's great for kids(despite one little wordy-dird),but isn't even remotely cloying or pandering.(Even the cartoon series based on it is not that bad).Coming on the heels of the equally brilliant "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure",this film firmly established Mr.Burton as one of the best new film-makers around,and remains a great achievement.

Summary: CASPER IS THE GHOST WITH THE MOST
Review: Michael Keaton brings no distinguishing characteristics to the ghoul 'Beetlejuice', he merely acts bizarre, as does the script. It is often stunning cinematography but when the movie itself comes into focus, it's like finding one of Beetlejuice's snacks in your popcorn.

Summary: A Afterlife Success
Review: Many movies, have dealt with the figure of death and the dead, from the Good angel clarence in "It's a Wonderful Life," to Brad Pitt's abysmal turn as Death himself in "Meet Joe Black." However, Tim Burton has presented the world with the most interestng look at the dead with Beetlejuice. In the first moments of the movie, Barbara and Adam Maitland go to town, And die in the oddest possible way. They return to thier house, and find them selves confined to it's premises. Thier leaving sends them to a strange desert world Populated by multi-layered sandworms. Eventually, they find that they are dead, and must remain in their home for 128 years, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the family of NYC artisans that moves in and remodels the place. After consulting with thier "caseworker" Juno,(Sylvia Sidney at her chain-smoking best) they hire a bio-exorcist,Betelguese (pronouced "BeetleJuice," hence the title) who agrees to help. Unfortunately for the Maitlands, Beetlejuice is an extremely PO'ed demon who refuses to return to the underworld. The visuals and special effects of this movie are completely stunning, and Micheal Keaton gives a performance that must have been a blast to play. Beetlejuice is a beer swilling,cussing,moral-majority's worst nightmare with superpowers, "Beetlejuice" is one of Tim Burton's Best works, and something he should be proud of.

Summary: I will watch this movie into oblivion...(& beyond!)
Review: This will stand the test of time and become one of the classics of all time, like the best of the Marx bros & WC Fields. Original, hilarious, imaginative, well-written, terrifically acted, beautifully designed, classy, stylish, hip, full of surprises and endless numbers of incredible details. And oh boy does Michael Keaton deserve a special Academy Award or what? Finally, that last scene! The best last scene in any movie(well, maybe except for I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang). Maybe the 1980s was the end of style & class in film. Ain't seen nuttin in the last 12 years come even close!

Summary: A Grand Old Time
Review: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton star in this cartoonish type movie made by Tim Burton with style and is most certainly not a mainstream film. That's why it is fun to watch.
