Bill et Ted sauvent l'Univers

We have to face facts, the reason there are so many sequels and remakes of movies from the 80s and 90s is because Hollywood peaked then. The 2000's marked the beginning of the decline, which has been rapidly descending in the last few years. Despite this decline and despite the mediocre Force Awakens style influences in the script, the charm and humour... and of course the nostalgia saves this from being unwatchable, which is high praise. Zazz as the robot steals the show along with the woman from Flight of the Concordes but I mostly left feeling a little sad that this movie wasn't made in the 90s and sad that Keane Reeves may not actually be immortal.

It's great seeing some of the actors return. You can tell everyone had a blast filming this. That alone in certain moments can bring a smile to your face. Not all of the jokes land, but that's comedy. The finale damn near brought me to tears. I guess 2020 has been a rough year.

When I saw there was a new B&T movie I thought these old men playing those same characters was bound to be terrible, but then I saw all these film critics saying that the movie actually turned out quite well. I wish I'd seen the movie they saw, because this one was pretty bad.

There are a few good things in Face the Music. The plot is a typically intricate B&T time-loop paradox, as the protagonists travel forward in time in search of their masterpiece while their carbon-copy daughters travel backwards in search of help, leading to a surprisingly clever but completely ridiculous finale. And Brigette Lundy-Paine is wonderful as Billie, perfectly capturing Keanu Reeve's physicality.

On the other hand, during the entire movie there were only 4 or 5 times when I actually laughed. Not belly laughs, just little ones. The movie is simply not funny. I'm not even sure it's *trying* to be funny.

At one point in the movie Dave Groh came up and I asked my girlfriend, "who's Dave Groh." She said for her that question was the funniest thing that happened during the movie.

Face the Music is kind of likable and a little sweet, and the story kept me generally engaged. But it's simply a comedy virtually devoid of humor, so I can't recommend it. But if they make a Billy & Thea sequel I might consider watching if they also get some different writers.

I loved the Bill and Ted movies, especially Bogus Journey. But this was a disaster.

You can feel the cringe all over this, from the undeveloped script, the callbacks, the woke Hollyweird stuff, and that cheese finale.

Alex Winter did sooo much better than Keanu Reeves in this one. Which was surprising.

William Sadler was amazing as Death, again. The scenes with the princesses also played very well.

The daughters and all the new side characters didn't work. The robot might have worked if the rest of the film played better.

I would have given this 1 star if it wasn't for Alex Winter. The future versions of Bill were golden. British Bill was so creepy and Old Bill's face will keep me laughing for a couple more days. You can tell he worked so much harder than everyone else involved.

I mostly watched this to see Keanu go from John Wick to revising his surfer dude persona.

He looks like he's having loads of fun and I'm deliberately ignoring all the usual crap Hollywood writers did to promote "women good, men bad" as that is just going to be a trend we put up with until producers are sick of losing money.

This is a silly movie, with a silly plot, with actors enjoying being silly. I had a good time watching it for what it was.
