Bill & Ted can't be the heroes because "2020" so it's all about their daughters.

The daughters played as poor, one dimensional, over-the-top mockeries of the original B&T characters...

Once more, instead of originality, the pabulum factories of Hollywood have to ruin what was good and drag it down into the mud with their political agendas.… Expand

I lasted 8 minutes. Never have I felt more depressed by a film. Possibly worst acting performance of this century & ruined memories of the original.

The original two Bill & Ted movies are free flowing, funny classics that were full of amusing jokes and insane situations. By contrast the third feels stale, forced, with a meandering plot that doesn't actually entertain with only a couple of laugh out loud moments the entire movie. It spends far more time with Bill & Ted meeting depressing versions of themselves as total failures, and facing up to being useless nobodies. That's not great comedy.

I finished it feeling like I had wasted 2hrs of my time, and really wishing I hadn't bothered.… Expand

I have never been so disappointed in a movie. It felt not just like someone killed Bill and Ted, but Alex and Keanu themselves!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Full disclosure I stopped watching about 30 minutes in.

I made an account just to say this: Don't see this movie. I'm not sure what people are smoking but this movie is terrible.

Where we left off in Bill & Ted 2: They use the time machine to learn how to play, they come back with their two sons "little Bill" & "little Ted" then broadcast to the world and they finally do achieve world peace. The story was in essence: Over. This movie sets the scene by retconning the entire second movie, then retconning the concept of the series in the first place and then retconning their sons. It's weird to watch really. Bill & Ted go from icons in the future to myths, their story from legend to theory. Roofus is just some guy who had a wild theory that they SAVE the universe rather than just unite the universe. Every bit of the end of the second movie basically didn't happen and for some odd reason their sons are now daughters. But lets put all that aside for now as there is some debate whether canon in books, films and television should be completely ignored in favor of putting anything you can imagine together and calling it art. Me personally I think restrictions encourage creativity rather than constricts it but we'll put that aside for now.

The acting is horrible; Keanu Reeves clearly wasn't feeling the part anymore. Alex Winter was never good. The daughters were giving cringe-inducingly bad impressions of Bill & Ted. The story was just hackneyed garbage. They literally had to go back to hell again. The impression I got from this movie is that they wanted to do a do-over of the second movie and couldn't just make the plunge and say it. If I saw this in a theater I would have walked out. I almost walked out of my house. Don't see this movie. I truly don't get why people are giving this crap positive reviews. There is nothing good about it. It's like if Nickelodeon wanted to make another spy kids movie and decided to phone it in. Bill & Ted has always been stupid, silly and ridiculous but I never felt like they thought I had the mental capacity of a 4 year old. This movie is an insult to its viewers. It's essentially the director, the cast and the writers all saying: "You all have baby brains, be nice to each other." It's bad. Don't see it. They should be embarrassed.… Expand

Just awful, and I payed full price, because I'm a true fan! The only positive was the cameos from previous films. The doofus daughters get way too much screen time!!!! I paid to see Bill & Ted not the bozo daughters.

Retconned story makes Bill & Ted too stupid to save anything, so the story focuses on how the women are better than the men at everything. Just another political soapbox movie like so many others. Really sad way to end this franchise.

Not funny whatsoever. I have no idea how people actually like this style of boring humor, but that's exactly what this is, and it's one of the worst. Comparable righteously unfunny movies like this would be Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, ScaryNot funny whatsoever. I have no idea how people actually like this style of boring humor, but that's exactly what this is, and it's one of the worst. Comparable righteously unfunny movies like this would be Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Scary Movie 5, and the latest Dumb and Dumber sequel. These actors are just too old and cannot pull off any kind of humor anymore in films like these. It's mostly due to the AWFUL script, so it's not all on the actors. The jokes are absolutely terrible. Jokes like "that was not a song" or "those are the worst us's yet, dude" or "most non-triumphant" are not even remotely funny. This is another one of the worst comedies I have ever seen. Never was a fan of the bill and ted series, so this really didn't surprise me. It gets 1 out of 10 for being a ONE time watch, if that. People really have terribly low standards in comedies if they like this film.… Expand

Too much time in the grave to try and bring back from the dead.

While the performances were pretty decent,Samara Weaving Brigette Lundy-Paine do a most outstanding job imitating Reeves & Winter but do nothing to make anything but genderToo much time in the grave to try and bring back from the dead.

While the performances were pretty decent,Samara Weaving
Brigette Lundy-Paine do a most outstanding job imitating Reeves & Winter but do nothing to make anything but gender swapped imitations. Winter * Reeves both do a solid job reprising their roles and bringing something new to their characters with their age. Again overall the acting on its own was very solid, its just the writing was horrendous. The writing was terrible and given the benchmark of Bill & Ted franchise that is a bar so low you could trip over it. The "humor" was so dull, bland and inoffensive that its hard to suggest there was any comedy in it at all. I found two chuckles and they definitely were not at intended "jokes". The script completely missed the goofy humor from the first two and mostly just merged the main plot of 1&2 into a weird copypasta abomination.

I grew up with the original two films. I enjoyed them greatly and they stood in their place in the late late 80s and early 90s.

While media must evolve through time and story telling today is far different than it was 30 years ago, there is so much change that it illustrates all but the broad strokes of B&T were either forgotten or the writers were oblivious to. Most likely being from a period before many of the key writers being born.

Absent from this comedy movie about metalheads is... well.. metal. The soundtrack is proof of this. B&T1 soundtrack were roughly approximate to lighter mainstream metal in their representative time. Featured on both were acts like Faith No More, Megadeth, Warrant, Extreme and even KISS. B&T3 is basically devoid of not only mainstream modern or even 80-90s musicians, but of known artists at all. The soundtrack is pretty much just studio professionals akin to but not up to the level of Two Steps From H ell. Honestly for all the love this was supposed to be showing to metal from days gone by, the music comes off more like terrible "World" music. There is no anthem to be found here and all the songs are regrettably forgettable.

All in all I WANT to like the film but it was bland, boring, missing the point of the source material and going out of its way to ignore inspiration from it. It is just a retread of 1&2 mangled together into a butchered beast that is only concerned with trolling out nostalgic highlights and plodding its way through the mangled together patchwork plots of 1&2. It plays off more like a desperate payday to get Alex Winter in front of the camera instead of directing things nobody has heard of than a true successor to Bill & Ted.

One kudos I will give the film is that they resisted the urge to totally desecrate George Carlin's Rufus with age regression CGI & using a stand in actor and kept it to existing footage and manipulating existing audio tracks. Though they did WANT to.

2 is too low but 3 is way too kind. 2.65 from me. Not a true 3 but rounding up given the noble attempt by the actors to work out something with no script to work with that was clearly rushed and could have benefited from C19 giving them time to polish the whole project instead of trying to brute force a dud through.… Expand

Doesn't live up to the nostalgia. Big fan of Keanu but Alex Winter did a way better job in this one.

The daughters were boring, plagerised and shallow characters.Really had nothing to offer other than being a female imitation of what they thought their fathers acted like. Which is odd because the writer said he didn't want Bill and Ted to have sons because they would be too similar to the fathers. Although the writer would say otherwise it stinks of an agenda. Boys bad,girls good. The actresses really didn't shine in these roles. Not worth the wait or money. Better to wait to see it for free on cable. Had all the potential but execution was lackluster.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awful reboot garbage. The "smart" daughters have the same adventure their fathers had in the original film by collecting historical figures in order to help their loser fathers. It ends up being completely pointless because the daughters end up being the ones who save the world by writing and performing the perfect song that unites the world.... Aside from the awful script and laughable product placement, the acting from some of the characters is just unwatchable. The actors who played the daughters, and the person who played Louie Armstrong are horrendously bad. I mean J.R. high-school play bad.… Expand

So, in a typical case of "damned if they do, damned if they don't", the franchise was faced with the conundrum of presenting "more of the same" or capitalizing on the fact that the duo is now comprised of two middle-aged suburban musicians, and thus far removed from the bubbly teens from the sequels. The film falls somewhere in between, unsure which way to go, and -worst of all- revisits old plots and ideas with little success. It's a movie no one asked, and bound for oblivion.… Expand
