Beetlejuice Beetlejuice first reactions call it a "bonkers, sweet, and twistedly funny" sequel that brings back the "old Tim Burton"

Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

The first reactions for Tim Burton's long-awaited Beetlejuice Beetlejuice have arrived – and people seem mostly delighted.

The sequel stars Jenna Ortega as Astrid, the daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder). When Astrid mistakenly gets taken to the underworld, Lydia calls upon her old 'pal' Beetlejuice for help. The cast includes Catherine O'Hara as eccentric artist Delia Deetz, Justin Theroux as Rory, and Willem Dafoe as ghost detective Wolf Jackson. The pic had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where it received a three-minute standing ovation.
