As a fan of the original Beetlejuice movie (I grew up watching it every year!) I had some expectations for this sequel-- I hoped it would be just as zany and crazy, not trying too hard to do something special or meaningful. After all, the best part of Tim Burton's classic was that it was just strange and unusual. It didn't try to do anything too deep. It was about entertaining. Well, in my opinion, the new movie succeeded. It is a fun re-entry to Burton's weird world for a new generation. I liked it quite a bit. It's not better than the first film, but it does stand on its own to a certain degree (but it is best with prior knowledge). A fun escape!
