Title: Bill & Ted Face the Music
Post by: Darrin Kelley on August 29, 2020, 04:19:29 PM
I bought the movie on Amazon Prime Video this morning. And I have watched it twice.

This is definitely a movie for Bill & Ted fans. It hit all the marks of a great Bill & Ted movie. It's the type of movie where you turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride.

This movie was not really overly political. It was true to who Bill & Ted have always been. And in these times where everything gets politicized, it is great to see a movie like this. One unafraid and unashamed to be true to itself.

You are not going to get any spoilers from me. This movie speaks for itself. And if it is something you can appreciate, you will have a good time.

It's a great ending to the Bill & Ted trilogy.

Gonna repeat myself from the movie thread. I was afraid the daughters would be cloying and perfect. But this film passes the torch correctly. Whereas the Star Wars sequels piss all over the classic characters to make their new batch look good, Face the Music shows Bill & Ted as the same loveable goofballs, and their daughters putting in the work to "save the day", and not just having it handed to them because they have vaginas.

I hope somebody in Hollywood is taking notes.

The plot didn't feel forced. Because the actors in this movie pulled off the story so well. When you have actors that committed to their performances. And the writers so committed to being authentic to the material. You get a story that doesn't feel like the viewers are getting railroaded through the plot.

All of this is a sign of actors performing well. And great story presented by solid writers. This is the sort of commitment by all parties that Hollywood needs more of.

Honestly? Bill & Ted Face the Music needs to be considered a master class example of what to do right in film and acting school courses.

It was most triumphant.
