Not pinning this thread as it’s probably nicer to focus on the best shows than the worst, but curious to see what everybody’s biggest disappointments where

    I just saw the Beetlejuice sequel and it stunk. I wanted to like it and remembered hearing good things, but in hindsight people stopped taking about it real fast and now i can’t wait to forget it as well

      Did it have the story telling depth of a legendary movie? Gods no…but it was fun. Felt exactly like the old Beetlejuice cartoons when I was a kid. I think people need to lower their expectations and just have a bit of fun sometimes. Not every movie should be a life-altering experience.

        I just watched it for the first time last night, it was a fun popcorn movie and gave me a few good laughs. My only real complaint is that they shoved too many plot lines into the movie. They could have completely left out Delores, Jeremy, and Rory and it would have been just as good if not a better movie. Each was met with a such unsatisfying ending to their stories it felt like the writers didn’t know what to do with them either.
