If you've never seen the first two Bill & Ted movies, I suggest you pass on "Bill & Ted Face the Music". While this third film isn't bad, it certainly isn't as fun and original as the previous two...and it might also prove to be very confusing. But, if you are a fan already of the series, you'll enjoy this film provided you don't expect the impossible...for the film to recapture 100% of the charm and humor of the originals. Adjust your expectations and you will surely like the film.

As far as the plot goes, it's pretty confusing. Suffice to say that after the second film, when it appeared that the whole world was saved by Bill & Ted, over time you come to see that it was a fluke and Bill & Ted of 2020 are losers. How do they over come this and why do they need to? See the film.

To me, this film clearly was best released to video...which is what happened due to COVID. I would not have recommended you go to the theater to see it...but as a direct to DVD or film on a pay channel, it's well worth your time.

This was an awful attempt to sequelise a franchise that had run its course in the early 1990s. I mean, it's nice to see Winter and Reeves in their iconic roles after all these years, but time hasn't been kind to this series and Reeves in particular seems awkward and uncomfortable. If they're cringeworthy, so too are the new cast members: hip young females who embarrass throughout, particularly the actress playing Reeves' daughter whose acting is pure caricature rather than performance. The rest is an overload of cheap CGI, story elements borrowed from the earlier films, and a random ending. Poor show indeed.

Bill Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted Logan (Keanu Reeves) are still struggling to write their epic song. They have broken up with Death (William Sadler). They start couples counselling with the Princesses. Rufus' daughter Kelly (Kristen Schaal) arrives from the future with a dire warning. Space and time is unraveling. They need to write the song right away to save existence. Their daughters Thea (Samara Weaving) and Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) try to help by assembling the greatest band ever.

I still love the boys. Alex Winter is the same guy, just 30 years older. Keanu is no longer that dude. They should probably try to write to his present day personality. The main takeaway is that they're still good friends and that's the most important part for this movie. My favorite section is the counselling and that section says it all about them. As for the princesses, I accept that they would be different actresses. I do wonder if they could play that up by turning into something completely different. Why not insert different multiple sets of princesses into the movie? Why not use their real life better-half? Instead, they are just a bit younger which is another different and not a fun one. They are now about a decade younger than the guys. My favorite side character remains Death. He just makes me laugh and it's disappointing that he doesn't show up until the second half of the movie. My least favorite new character has to be the killer robot. He's no Station. If he's to redo Death, it would be better to just use Death for that plot device. Maybe the future could trick Death into hunting Bill & Ted for revenge which can be solve again in a game challenge. I like the daughters for the most part. They're pretty good Lil' Bill & Ted. Their quest is a rehash of the first movie. I don't really like the prophecy since it's obvious what the reveal will be. At the end of the day, this is the Bill & Ted franchise. It's not going to make logical sense. The Scooby gang will always remain the best of friends. The big goal is hokey and mostly light non-sense. There is a lightweight joy to this franchise which this movie is able to maintain. That's all that matters.
