It’s not for everyone (but what is?). In particular many scenes contain an extreme gore factor, however comedic.
We enjoyed this film immensely. The plot offering fresh ideas instead of just being a nostalgia fest impressed me, as did some surprising twists. The great Willem Dafoe gave a standout performance; his acting range never ceases to amaze me.
I’ll end my humble little post at that. Ragweed pollen has my sinuses pounding. lol Just know the returning cast and newcomers to the franchise performed wonderfully.
Do you suffer allergies? Is there a particular season you prefer?

I used to suffer from hay fever but I grew out of it at about 35. Beetlejuice seems topical. https://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2024/09/exhibit.html
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for that small blessing. :) Thanks for the link and be well, my dear.
DeleteI've been wondering if I should see this. I probably will wait for streaming, but it sounds pretty good.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteDad says he saw the original when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. After reading your post he wants to see this now, especially since you said it's got gore galore. He also says he's thankful that he's never had any allergies.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your dad never suffered allergies! My husband gave up having pet cats for eleven years (!) due to my asthmatic reaction. Can you believe that? I'm thankful proper medication solved the issue. And let me know if your parents see it and their reaction. Or will it just be your dad alone? We're lucky as a couple sharing such similar tastes all around. Be well!
DeleteI saw the original movie too, it was strange.
ReplyDeleteYes, and I only grew to appreciate it later. ~grin~ Be well!
DeleteAnytime that The Hubby has a sneezing fit, he blames the cats. But he's been living with them for two decades now, and a sneezing fit here or there doesn't add up to being allergic to cats! Silly man.
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI loved that movie too. Most funny.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have allergies here. We're happy about that.
Have a fabulous weekend. Hugs. ♥
I'm so glad you're allergy free. Blessings, my dear.
DeleteI wondered if it was worth seeing. I loved the original.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteThe ragweed is killing me too. I enjoyed the original so I will see the sequel when it gets on dvd and I can get it from the library. XO
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're suffering, as well. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as we! Hugs, my dear.
DeleteFALL...followed by SPRING....best times of the year :) !! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteme...mackerull....eye like fishin seezon =^..^= ♥♥
lol
DeleteI'm like Trout Towne. Fall and Spring. My only faves. Gosh I remember the original. May or may not try fr the sequel. I am so sorry you are going through the allergies. I have some as well and it is miserable regardless of the meds we take which do alleviate some of it, granted. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Our health could be worse, especially since my husband had surgery to remove cancer. Whew! Be well, my dear.
DeleteYes, seasonal allergies. Had them so bad in my teens and 20s that I took ten yrs of shots and did so great. I have been off the shots since 06 and have done great up until a couple years ago. I have seasonal asthma, so I have to watch out for that. It has been so dry here in TN. Really dry and I have had a few bouts with nasal mess. I saw the first Beetle Juice, not a big fan. I will prob wait for the other one to come to streaming and watch it then. I am more a fan of Hocus Pocus - the first one. Not a fan of the second one though. haha.....But who knows, Cory (son) and DIL will be here in the morning for a few days, we might do a movie, and I will let the others pick.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so glad you enjoyed an extended family visit. Hugs, my dear.
DeleteOh we have been meaning to watch it. Good to hear your enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your allergies. Hope you get some relief.
:D
DeleteI forgot they made a new one, thanks for the reminder! I do not have allergies!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you don't suffer. :)
