Not my cup of tea


The good: Alex Winters and Keanu Reeves were fun. They genuinely look like they're having a great time.

Its a silly plot, and that's great for these movies. The sets are good in most cases and the scenarios are fun though the comedy is a little flat.

The Bad. The daughters characters are carbon copies of Bill and Ted. These are good actresses and they dont really have much to add. If Bill and Ted went back in time and got younger Bill and Ted to help, it would be the same result. That sucks because the actresses are genuinely awesome in other roles.

The comedy is hit or miss. For big fans, it's okay. I love the first two movies but i had a hard time with this.

The future supreme leader and set are terrible and it could have been taken out if the story all together. A couple lines from Kirsten Schaal could have replaced that awful set and characters. Even dennis could be introduced without the future set and characters.

The final music sucked.

Some people complain about the daughters as woke malarkey, but honestly it didn't matter that they were girls because they were carbon copies of Bill and Ted. I wanted to like this, but its not for me. Other people seem to really like it though.

You're review is spot on and all well made points. I enjoyed it though for what it was. I agree with your dislikes, but you didn't mention my favorite part, the future versions of Bill & Ted. Loved their different iterations and really what made the movie for me! All the other parts were just ok or bad. I felt like the famous musicians from other times were wasted, the original ones from Bill & Ted 1 were much better and funnier.

I was never a huge fan of the 1st 2 films...

I've watched them maybe 3 or 4 times in my life....

I think they are decent and somewhat fun....But Never loved them...


I watched BTFTM last night....and very much enjoyed it....

again I wouldnt call it a great movie or anything, But I thought it was very fun and absolutely avoided the Downfalls of other Long awaited sequels like "Dumb and Dumberer" and "Independence Day Resurgence" which for me are 2 of the worst Sequels ever to Great Movies

I was never a big time Bill and Ted fan, so I'm probably not the best judge...

But I think This movie was a win and a Win for the franchise and certainly Hardcore fans should be at least somewhat pleased

I would not be surprised if A Bill and Ted 4 and a Spin Off Sequels about their daughters get greenlit in the future....

so far the consensus based on reviews and rating are very good, If digital sales are good, The Studio will definitely see this as a chance to continue the franchise, especially after the pandemic when future sequels can open in theaters

Even though I wasn't fully on board with this, it's good to see that a lot of people enjoyed it. As for digital sales, I purchased it rather than rented because it was a $5 difference. No regret there. I genuinely enjoyed Winters and Reeves.
