(TEASER TRAILER)
So, we have an official trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and as I go to review it, I think back to when I was first introduced to him. You see, I think I was first introduced to superheroes by having a DC The Falcon figurine when I was maybe, four years old? But movies? It had to be Michael Keaton as Batman. My cousin had The Batman (1989) on VHS and I watched that movie over and over and over. I was a fan of Michael Keaton the actor. My cousin was too. So, to have Michael Keaton in something else called Beetlejuice, of course, we had to watch it. very different to Batman but funny, creepy and in some places, scary for my little mind. This trailer looks like it continues exactly where the last one left off all those years ago as it seems they have captured the crazy tone to this weird and wonderful, cult film.
This trailer shows a little more than the teaser trailer and what we get here is pure greatness. From the uttered lines, "Death is hard"..."sometimes I think life is harder", what a statement! Morbid sense of perspective that reminds me of something I believe Wednesday Addams would say, the irony... But as soon as Astrid says the name 3 times despite being told specially not to, Beetlejuice's entrance is grand! And from that moment chaos ensues, just like it should when The Juice is Loose. This trailer makes me smile and is exactly (if I thought about it, considering how much time has passed) what a Beetlejuice film would/should be like. A mischievous ghoul always causing trouble. Let's just hope this is the Top Gun: Maverick to the Top Gun than the Coming 2 America to Coming to America.
