I found it amusing that they made a sequel to a dead franchise, especially with Keanu's resurgence. I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest Bill & Ted's fan. I liked the first movie, can't really remember the 2nd one, watched some of the cartoon growing up and I rewatched Excellent Adventure recently, and it's ok.

Since 2020 is pretty much a bust for films, I purchased this and I'm surprised. I thought the movie really felt like the 80's. Since both Bill & Ted are older, they can't act like their bodacious selves, so they have daughters that do and for me they were hilarious. The film gets to hit multiple versions of Bill & Ted which I also found hilarious.

I got to see Charlie's Angels (on a plane) and wanted to see what all the fuss (why people hated it) was about. Personally, I'm not a fan of the other movies but I did watch them, and I'm not a fan of Kristen Stewart either (and my wife isn't either so she didn't bother watching it).

First off, I found Kristen Stewart to be very likable and enjoyed watching her. Actually found that the team chemistry was way better than the previous older films. And the opening action sequences were fantastic, but then it goes straight into this weird girls / women empowerment montage. And then into multiple sexual harassment / women can't do anything settings that it started becoming preachy. Perhaps not as preachy as the Ghostbusters remake.

The movie's first half is pretty excellent and it feels like a genuine female team James Bond meets Oceans 11 (or I guess 8). And then it starts to slip and the finale just didn't work as well as I would have liked. Overall it's decent and hopefully they make a sequel.
