Bill and Ted Face the Music

Post by peter »

Confronted with the fact that they have not written the song that will bring together the entirety of mankind, but convinced nevertheless that they are bound to do so, our bodacious duo decide to skip the hard work and simply travel to the future whereby they can 'borrow' the song from ......well..... themselves!

Of course being Bill and Ted things will not go to plan, but no doubt they will rise to the occasion and finish the film with a great musical extravaganza in which the song will be unveiled upon an unsuspecting world. Hmmmmm.......... Have we been here before?

Never mind - I for one am right pleased that Reeves and Winter have agreed to reprise their roles, whose last outing was in the sequel to Excellent Adventure, namely Bogus Journey, released in 1991, and though in the trailer they do look somewhat matured, their particularly wooden acting skills make them still look bang to rights for the roles. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it exactly what we need in the face of this (most bogus) pandemic - a little bit of down time with the grim reaper. So come the day, I'll be springing my ten quid to Sky Films or whoever and in anticipation of this I think there is only one thing one can say - Excellent!

:D

It's wonderful. A fitting end of the trilogy.

I plan on seeing it at the earlist opportunity. I'll just buy it on some streaming service because I am not about to try and go to a theater.

I'm pretty sure the ads I've seen say it's currently availabke in opened theaters and on On Demand. While I normally much prefer seeing special effects movies in theaters, I suspect this is one which won't suffer too much with the transition to a 50" HDTV. I'm not ready to return to theaters, either. Plus, I don't think any have reopened here on the Eastside of Seattle, yet.

However, like I'm doing with Artemis Fowl, which I really did want to see in theaters, I'll wait until I can borrow the DVD from my library.

Bought a Vudu bundle of all 3 films.
We binge watched all 3.
Face the Music was surprisingly fun and consistent with the previous films. Yes the actors have aged noticeably but it all fit well within the story. Some of the plot details don't make much sense but that is true with previous films as well.
The Bill and Ted film Series isn't exactly high art but it's not intended to be. Its absurd fun and I like it.

I was excited to see this just for how fun and silly it could be, then I saw the $20 price tag and decided to skip it :D

Maybe a bundle of all 3 would be more palatable, but for now, I'll have to wait.

They're not even releasing it on streaming in the UK. Cinemas only, in a few weeks. So I guess I'll see it next year or something.

I just saw this one.
I liked it!
I thought they did a really good job.
The kids were just right too, likable and not too over the top.

I could have sworn I'd posted in this topic...

Anyway, I didn't hate it. :D

Still waiting on my hold from the library.

Supposedly neither SD nor Damsel have seen any of the Bill and Ted mivies, so I'm waiting on holds for all three.

First two viewed. Consensus is Bogus is pretty lame. Unsure about Dam-sel, but SD is obviously unenthused about continuing. Too bad, as my hold on Face the Music is finally in.

I am curious how they jump from the fairly jubilant ending of Bogus showing the boys did unite mankind to them not achieving that yet. For now, it is a puzzlement.
