Poor Lydia Deetz gets the rawest deal in Beetlejuice 2
Briefly

Tim Burton's sequel to Beetlejuice struggles with multiple incomplete plot lines, overshadowing character development, leaving original characters like Lydia Deetz as wasted opportunities.
Despite the return of beloved characters, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice lacks new ideas and feels cluttered with recycled content, ultimately failing to resonate like its predecessor.
The supposed villain, played by Monica Bellucci, is underdeveloped, and Michael Keaton's Betelgeuse feels like a background character in a sequel that lacks innovation.
The film's intertwining storylines, particularly Lydia's estrangement from her daughter, promise depth but ultimately contribute to a sense of frustration in the narrative.
