It is a fitting end to the Bill & Ted journey. I won’t go into spoiler-filled detail, but I felt that the core story was satisfactory, but the editing and pacing was off and character development was not as good as I would have liked.

The film spent too much time focusing on the different versions of Bill & Ted, and not enough time on building fun interactions with the new historical figures introduced in this film. There was a lot of missed opportunities that the first film captured that this film did not. William Sadler and Alex Winter stole the movie and Keanu Reeves was okay, but he just didn’t seem to be on his “A” game.

Overall, this is a movie worth buying or renting. It is 91 minutes of mindless fun that is a great distraction for a world that was in desperate need of one.… Expand

An absurdist masterpiece 29 years in the making. They did it. They achieved the impossible. Bill & Ted Face the Music is not only a proper conclusion to this most heinous of sagas, but a singular and rare example of A Good Sequel That Doesn't Ruin Its Beloved Characters, which, as demonstrated here, shouldn't be such a high bar for Hollywood to hit. Reflect for a moment that in these days of milking franchises till they're dry, quality characters, quickly-paced plotting, and naturalistic performances are hard to come by, doubly so in the under-explored sub-genre of absurdist sci-fi buddy comedy sequels released 29 years later.

It's even rarer for said well-written, well-acted, absurdist sci-fi comedy sequels to have a heart and soul, and this one has two beating hearts named Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, who embody their iconic roles perfectly. (Its soul resides in themes uncovered by the daughters' journey, which I'll get to later.) I was practically cringing at this film's trailer, which somehow didn't sell me on its aging leads' ability to embody and recapture the wide-eyed, innocently boyish, lovable heroes they perfected in 1989 and reprised in 1991.

Thankfully, the trailer doesn't spoil the movie's best moments, nor does it give away too much of the plot, a miracle in this day and age.

It's also miraculous that the film manages to weave in the existential crises inherent with over two decades' worth of unfulfilled potential and unrealized dreams without ever being morose, downbeat, or cynical, and without losing sight of Bill and Ted. For all of 2020's crises, there is hope inherent in the fact that Bill and Ted never once gave up trying to write the song. They spent 25 (in-film) years, most marked by failure, and in their first scene, which is goofy, transcendent, tragic, and sweet all at once, they demonstrate that they've explored the boundaries of music with an outrageous theremin-throat singing-bagpipe performance that's several hundred years ahead of its time.

(Yes, the film retcons some aspects of Bogus Journey's epilogue in a clarifying introduction.)

There are jokes to be had at our protagonists' expense, but to their credit, original co-creators and writers Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson and veteran director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) display that most important trait of sci-fi storytellers: the ability to say "what if?" and go ham for 92 minutes of balanced crests and troughs that keep the plot moving at a quick clip. I didn't get to see any of the behind-the-scenes stuff, but I'm sure the filmmakers enlisted Winter's and Reeves' help to explore a number of different versions of the iconic characters in a delightful series of encounters. There isn't a single scene in this film where Winter and Reeves don't seem to be having the time of their lives revisiting these characters. It's worth watching for that, and their chemistry, alone. There's some sort of righteous alchemy here between the pair.

Bill & Ted, and their affable, smart, and understandably music-obsessed offspring, go on very different journeys in this film. As I said, if Bill and Ted are the film's beating heart, ever resilient and hopeful through years of disappointments, Thea and Billie's journey provides the film with its soul. Here, the theme of music as the great bridge between people is explored, through aural delights and cinematic scenes to wonderful to be spoiled with mere words. Jamming, call-and-response, teaching, rivalries, announcements, propositions, a wordless cry of raw expression and emotion - if you have deep feelings about music and its place in the history of the human experience, you might just be touched by this constant theme, which is interwoven with a story that, stripped of its sci-fi trappings, could be taken straight out of a blues song.

The storytelling branches out and keeps on pulling at new, surprising, and silly threads until it reaches its delightful and totally earned climax, an ending so stirring that it left Kevin Smith in tears.

This film hits differently to people who grew up on the originals, and it hits especially well if you've just seen those films back to back, like my wife and I did. In almost every way (I lamented the recasting of the wives!), Bill & Ted Face the Music fits in 100% with the first two Bill & Ted films, redeems any missteps in Bogus Journey, tickles the funny bone, and boldly goes for the heart. I'm overjoyed just typing out those words. Step aside, Star Wars. Make way, Lord of the Rings. Indiana Jones, take a hike. Bill & Ted is now an epic film trilogy, one I find easy to recommend wholeheartedly to almost anyone.

I will love and treasure Bill & Ted Face the Music as long as I live. Thank you to all involved for making this passion project a reality.… Expand

I knew this movie would make a lot of my fellow MGTOW guys butt-hurt over the remarkably charming daughters and their crucial role throughout the experience. Not gonna lie I did have a few eye-roll moments, but these were drastically overshadowed by how hilarious the film was. Always love Keanu but Alex Winters slayed in this movie. Where has he been hiding all these years!? The film was very imaginative and extremely well written. Even despite all of the PC check boxes you gotta meet for a Hollywood film these days, this movie was so well done. I promise this movie is not another Star Wars 7 or The Last of Us 2 replace the old father figures with young women trope. (Sadly this is a trope in 2020.) I would say this movie has a very touching overall theme that by Bill and Ted being fathers their lives finally became complete and more fulfilled. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie in the past several years and I actually thought, "Wow. That was actually not bad--STATION!"… Expand

It’s a continuation that no one really asked for but it’s a welcome addition to their airhead travels nonetheless. Whether you find Bill & Ted’s adventures excellent or bogus will largely depend on whether you have childhood memories of them in the first place. It’s certainly a silly brand of humour and the latest instalment is no different but my memories are fond and it was delightful to see Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter fall back into these characters with ease. It’s nothing more than easy-going entertainment but sometimes that’s all you need. Party on dudes!… Expand

I will usually wash it all down with a glass of very expensive whiskey that has a very unique and complex finish...
Aaaaaand other times, I really just want a cheeseburger and a beer.
Bill and Ted are that cheeseburger and beer.
And if you go into a burger house expecting a rib eye and expensive whiskey, of course you are going to be disappointed.
It isn't a movie that requires a deep plot and emotive scenes in the rain.
It is a harmless flick about friendship, music, and the childhood dreams of ours that never really leave us, no matter how old we are. Bill and Ted were like two dumb puppies, that no matter how many times they run into the wall, you can't help but shake your head and laugh.
Now, they are grown up into big dumb scooby-doo dogs, and you get to watch them and their puppies run into walls together.
I am sure Keanu could be doing blockbusters right now, but he wanted to do this instead. This was an ultimate fan service movie meant as a thank you gift for the old fans.
I have read some weird reviews saying things like "This movie is trying to be politically correct, like calling girls princesses instead of babes".
Well... that is because the girls ARE princesses, duh. And I didn't notice any other political agenda in there. Some people don't really don't like women in movies that don't just get tied up by the bad guys.
I watched B&T growing up and I can't thank everyone involved enough for letting me step into their world one last time. Me and the Mrs both walked our with charmed smiles on our faces. Great job guys!… Expand

For what I came to expect from Bill and Ted, this movie is a perfect third movie. it delivered everything I expected and more. it made me laugh my socks off, and it wrapped up in a way that I never thought was actually possible. how could this movie present a song that unites the world? how would that even be possible. hey can't make music that good. and yet the movie delivers on that front to such a degree that I was dumbstruck. I have never cried so much from joy that the back of my neck hurt. This movie completes my childhood. On it's own.. it is of course a very trashy movie. if it wasn't, it would not be Bill and Ted. in this day and age whre every film follows a formula and has to be the best lighting, the best comedy, the best sound etc. films are stagnant and I really miss what films used to be. this film is unshackled by all of that and it benefits because of that. forget your billion dollar CGI. forget your perfect lighting. forget your epic score. what we have here is a celebration of good music, friendship, family and honest good fun.

There was however one new character that I could do without. As far a I can tell they were inserted as a plot device and given very little thought after they made it into the script. All of this said if you are, or where back in the day, a fan of Bill and Ted there is a lot to like here and I would check it out.

Bill and Ted Face the Music is the exact movie we need right now. A movie that is just so goofy, positive and endearing that it is just a gigantic breath of fresh air in this age of cynicism and mean-spiritedness. Keanu Reeves and AlexBill and Ted Face the Music is the exact movie we need right now. A movie that is just so goofy, positive and endearing that it is just a gigantic breath of fresh air in this age of cynicism and mean-spiritedness. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reprise their roles as Bill and Ted, two goofball musicians that were destined to unite the world through music, but have yet to do so. Now, they need to travel through time in order to discover that perfect song before all of time collapses in on itself. First off, it’s so great to see Keanu and Alex reprise their roles, especially Alex since retiring from acting. Both of them still have the same great chemistry, and they don’t try to come off as being younger than they are or, worse, as down on their luck cynical old men, but rather just older versions of themselves. They both have two daughters that have similar mannerisms and they do a great job in the movie as well. The relationship between the dads and the daughters could have been fleshed out a bit more, but it’s nice to see a family that is just so supportive of each other. William Sadler also returns as Death and he’s just as hilarious as he was in Bogus Journey. None of the performances feel phoned in. While this was a movie that didn’t really need to be made, everybody still cared about the project and wanted to make the best with what they got.

Speaking of which, that is admittingly one of the few downsides I had with the film. This was obviously made with a low budget, and at many points it shows, from bad green screen to relatively unimaginative locations. It doesn’t offer the same level of creativity as something like Bogus Journey. Some of the sub-plots also either don’t really go anywhere or kind of just get resolved in a throw-away fashion. The time travel rules don’t make sense, but it’s not meant to be taken all that seriously as it’s really just a vehicle to drive the plot forward. The movie itself also just kind of...ends, with no major resolution. Really, though, any major criticisms that I would have with this movie honestly get swept under the rug by how enjoyable it is. Face the Music just feels so out of place in this day and age, and yet that’s exactly why we need a movie like this. We could really go for a movie that is just plain wholesome and fun. You came back at just the right time, Bill and Ted, and I’m certainly grateful for it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Considering the movie is trying to wrap up a story 30 years in the making and 25 years after the last movie it was good. Introducing 2 new characters you know going in who is going to have major parts. Also there's not to much backstory to draw from although I would have hoped they made the future look a little more advanced and futuristic. The future and all three characters were a bummer. The daughter of Ruffus (spelling?) was lame, weak and un-necessary. At least Bill and Ted were a little more mature in this one. The ending was weak-ish and the timeline is confusing. I may have graded this a 6 but I saw the New Mutants movie before this so compared to that this looked like 10. Still enjoyable but go in with low expectations.… Expand

10 out of 10! First time watching anything Bill n Ted related. I had no idea what to expect.... and I was pleasantly surprised, my 22 year old daughter loved it and said and I quote, "this is very original, I loved it". I concur

I love the movie. I love Bill and Ted. I enjoyed the great story and characters. I haven't watched the previous episodes. It made me feel like watching them. Excellent!

Alex Winters truly lives in the character and is enjoyable to watch. Keanu Reeves struggles to hold onto the magic, and would have been much more convincing if he relaxed a little. The true stars of the film are Samara Weaving's Thea and Brigette Lundy-Paine's Billie, who legitimately deserve a sequel focused on them. The film runs at a brisk pace that is everything you would expect; then the characters get to hell and everything screeches to a horribly boring halt upon reuniting with Death. It's a scene that feels like it was the seed idea for this sequel, a 'getting the band back together after we broke up because of reasons,' that really isn't needed and considering the success of the rest of the movie, should have been left on the cutting room floor. Other than that, its super fun.… Expand

DOPE! If you grew up watching Bill & Ted, you’ll appreciate the FACE THE MUSIC.

Keep in mind, I don't have any nostalgia for this franchise since I watched them for the first time during quarantine. And for that, I feel inclined to say this one is my favorite. It incorporates the best of both original movies.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter fill these roles like they never left them. It gets more hilarious with every scene and becomes very clear how passionated they were and how they wanted to make a modern story for Bill and Ted while still keeping the spirit of the originals intact. There’s no more homophobia (we should be excellent to each other after all) and the women now get to play a more significant part in the story; the daughters being an unexpected highlight. Samara Weaving is so adorable! And I love that they visit a lot more people of color this time around, too. It also blows my mind that this one is really the first entry to center the plot around MUSIC.

My main issue is that the movie looks too clean. I wish they shot this on film instead of digitally, because it looks pretty visually divorced from the previous films. But I eventually settled into it and it wasn’t a constant bother. The film also ends very abruptly and I would’ve liked just a little more breathing room after the finale, especially since I’m assuming this is the last time we’ll see these characters.

We could waste a lot of time debating whether these films are too dumb for their own good, but I’m not gonna bother. It brought me joy, so I’ll call it a good movie. Party on, dude!

P.S. - Bill and Ted’s wedding performance that was supposed to be terrible was actually a total banger!… Expand

Bill and Ted Face the Music is a most excellent way to end the trilogy. Now I give it a 7/10 which is definitely not bad. To start off Keanu Reeves, and Alex Winter somehow still feel like they are teenagers from the 80s. Also the addition ofBill and Ted Face the Music is a most excellent way to end the trilogy. Now I give it a 7/10 which is definitely not bad. To start off Keanu Reeves, and Alex Winter somehow still feel like they are teenagers from the 80s. Also the addition of their daughters was really cool. Especially Ted's daughter. I of course love Bill, and Ted in this film but I think Billy, played by Bridgette Lundy-Paine, was surprisingly the standout. She just felt so much like Keanu Reeves in the first film, while adding her own twist to it. I also think the journey the daughters went on was more excellent than the one Bill and Ted went on. Of course Bill and Ted's journey was still good, but I thought Billy, and Theo's journey was much cooler and more engaging. It also ends in probably the most satisfying way possible, and I didn't see how they ended it coming. My main problem though is it wasn't particularly funny. There were a few times you might chuckle, but there wasn't a time were I was dying laughing, for example when Bill and Ted are playing the games with death in Bogus Journey. And when you are making a comedy I think you have to be funny, and this movie really isn't that. Even though I said Bill and Ted still feel like teenagers I never felt like they reached the same level as they were in the first two movies. This an overall most excellent way to end off the Bill and Ted trilogy, but it has one really big fault in it not being that particularly funny. I give Bill and Ted Face the Music a 7.5/10 and a B-. I would like to end with a quote. ''Be excellent to each other. And Party on dudes.'' -Bill and Ted… Expand

While not as good as the first two, this movie still manages to entertain, sure, it revisits some familiar story beats and tropes, and some of the acting is not on par, but there’s a lot of heart and sincerity behind it.

It's not quite as good, but still amazing. It's very cool how we get to see Bill and Ted as adults now, see their kids, and see them still be the same teens on the inside. Unfortunately, Rufus isn't there, but the actor died so that makes sense. An amazing movie, and a must watch for anyone who saw the originals.… Expand
