Review of Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) by Theredsky — 05 Sep 2020
Not objectively very good but like the previous entry, enjoyable none the less. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter may not be giving very good performances here but their chemistry with each other is excellent none the less.
They still have that electricity they both shared with each other from back in 1989 and 1991. Unfortunately, George Carlin passed away in 2008 and his absence in this film, aside from a hologram cameo, really made me make this film the worst of the three.
They keep mentioning his character and it makes you miss him. All the other performances here are fine and the two actresses who portrayed Bill and Ted’s daughters did a great job at acting like their Dad’s.
The plot itself is fine. It’s engaging for the one or two of the time jumps but after that it becomes very repetitive. I really enjoyed the ending though. It was obvious that there was a lot of passion that went into this and it paid off with a beautiful concert.
Although the actual ending is weird though. They finish the concert and then there’s two lines of narration and that’s it. It just ends. It feels like they were going to add something else but they just forgot to.
The visual effects are definitely a step up from the previous two films but I feel like they will look dated in about 5-10 years. I also found the film to only be somewhat funny. I found the “villain” character to be super annoying while I found some of the future impersonations of Bill and Ted to be pretty hilarious.
If you like Bill and Ted, then go check this out and if not, pass on it.
