Why The Juice Is On The Loose
- Much like its predecessor, the stop-motion in this film is still impressive, even for 2024 standards, especially for the sandworm.
- Great acting from Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara reprising their roles as the titular character, also known more commonly by Betel Geuse Jr. (Beetlejuice), Lydia Deetz, and Delia Deetz from the previous film, Jenna Ortega (who portrayed Wednesday Addams and her ancestor Goody Addams in Wednesday (2022), and Tara Carpenter in the Scream series), Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe (who portrayed Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marcus in John Wick (2014), and voiced Nathan Dawkins in Beyond: Two Souls), Burn Gorman, Danny DeVito (who portrayed Frank Reynolds in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), etc.
- Many hilarious moments like Beetlejuice drops the f-bomb (albeit censored) similar to the previous film).
