This movie felt like it was written by people who neither loved the original films, nor cared to even watch them. It was heavily politicized and the storyline was fractured with little connection to anything remotely comical. Even the Grim Reaper, The Doc of Shook, the Duke of Spook, who i always felt was a hilarious addition to Bogus Journey, was incredibly weak here and his accent was way off. Seeing 50 year old men behave like teenage stoners just didn't work... why not bring back Bethoven like in the original instead of Mozart? Where was the metal and rock influence? It was gone... Who the hell is Kid Kudi and why was he even in the last song? What did he do? The actors playing the daughters are both really good in other projects i've seen them on, but in this they felt like carbon copies of Bill and Ted from the originals and again... it didn't work. This movie gave me serious Ghostbuster Reboot vibes and that is the worst thing I could possibly say about any movie ever. As far as I'm concerned, Bill and Ted ended perfectly in Bogus Journey, and yeah the Reaper really did win the Indy 500 - who knew he could run so fast?

Loved the originals, I didn't expect this to be good, and I'm so glad we didn't pay to see it because I would've been peeved. There are a couple of jokes in the beginning that were funny, but it fizzles out thereafter. There's no real plot here, the characters have no depth, it's not like they did in the original movies but there weren't so many of them thrown together in one film that it made it feel chaotic and disengaging. Mostly I felt like there wasn't any cohesion whatsoever, it felt as though the script was thrown together in a single night and rushed into production to satisfy fans. The biggest let down is the music, the music is awful. How do you have Dave Grohl cameo and not play? I just don't understand that. Instead we get Kid Cuddi pumping up the crowd (he doesn't sing, which I'm thankful for, but then why is he even there?). Part of what made the Bill and Ted franchise appealing to fans was that it occurred when metal was at it's height, instead of trying to appeal to those same fans, who probably still listen to metal, they instead tried to amalgamate every music genre in the world to appeal to everyone, and it comes off as just that, a hot mess of musical genres. Coupled with a poor script and two actors who look less than enthused to reprise their roles, this film isn't worth rewatching.

Got to see an advance screening! Bill & Ted Face The Music - Most Excellent! I was really afraid what they were going to do with this movie, would the PC it up? I already knew the sons had become daughters so it made me a bit wary of it. They did ok explaining that I guess. The girls do a good job, the one that plays Thea really has the Ted moves down but it's kinda creepy on a girl. I think they'll carry on the torch fine if thats the plan. It was corny, dumb and predictable..... Exactly what I was hoping for!! If you're a fan of the original B&T movies you'll like it, if you weren't or if you haven't seen them, I'm not sure why you'd go see this one. You might like it but you'll miss a lot of references. It's kind of like the same story but not really. I guess all I'm saying is I enjoyed it and felt it was worthy of the B&T name Only bad part of seeing it early is now I've got nothing to look forward to this weekend.

Oh my, oh my...what do we have here? I loved Bill and Ted as a kid, watched it a couple of times as 30yr old dude...it was still great. But this? We will try and forget it. Hollywood, please, dudes. If you haven't made a sequel in 5-10 years, 15 tops, don't make it after 20-30 (or more!?) years. You lost your soul, your touch. You'll never be able to make classics again. Why? Because you're doing it for the money, not true fans. Let old classics be. And don't even dare to make Matrix 4. FRIENDS are going to be a disaster, too, btw. That's just the way you are now. See ya.

And there's only one white musician in all of history worth bringing back, Mozart. If I was a fan of the originals and waited twenty plus years for this I would be crying right now. I wasn't, and didn't, and I'm still miserable that I paid money to see this garbage. They Ghostbustered Bill & Ted. :(
