Peak Moment

Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice appears as the crude bio-exorcist

Biggest Swing

The film peaks with Keaton's introduction as Beetlejuice but dips significantly during the third act's more gimmicky sequences.

Beetlejuice starts strong with its original premise and builds to exceptional heights with Keaton's performance and the iconic dinner scene. The film maintains high quality through most of its runtime but experiences some third-act weakness before recovering for a satisfying conclusion.
