Movie Review - Bill and Ted Face The Music

I enjoyed Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey in the 80s, but I was never a huge fan and thought they covered all the ground that needed to be covered. But I was curious to see where filmmakers would go with this three decades later.

Bill & Ted Face The Music is a 2020 science fantasy comedy based on Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure from the 80s. It's rated PG-13 for language and is appropriate for most ages.

The Good

Fun. This movie is a lot of fun and is true to its 80s roots.

The Bad

Absurd. This movie is pretty silly. None of the actions any of the characters make makes any sense.

Breaks the Rules. This movie breaks all the rules it sets for itself and throws any sort of logic and reason with time travel out the window.

Change of Premise. The original movie stated that Bill & Ted's music touches the whole world in such a way it brings about a new era of peace and harmony. This movie raises the stakes unnecessarily by saying they have to play a great song or all of existence ends.People in the future should have known this the first time.

What I Would Like to Have Seen

I wish the movie had make a little more sense.

Overall

Bill & Ted Face The Music is an absurd film that feels like a couple of fans sitting around saying, "Dude, do you know what would be awesome?" and then throwing out every crazy idea that comes to their heads. This story is absurd. None of the actions any of the characters make makes any sense. The original movie stated that Bill & Ted's music touches the whole world in such a way it brings about a new era of peace and harmony. This movie raises the stakes unnecessarily by saying they have to play a great song or all of existence ends.People in the future should have known this the first time. This is not a well made movie, but it is a fun conclusion to the 80s films for those who wax nostalgic. I give this film 3 out of 5 boxes of popcorn.
