Bill and Ted Face the Music

Anyone who thinks Keanu’s face looks off or wrong is advised to check Tom Cruise’s face in the new Top Gun film trailers.
 
Are you all watching it via downloads or is it available anywhere legally on VOD in the UK?

Vanity as a protected characteristic. Michael Jackson was misunderstood. Etc etc.

It's not vanity, it's insecurity. And Jackson was a child molester, but he also had some pretty bad mental health issues, some of which played out in the way he tried to change his appearance.

It’s been released to streaming services in the US at the same time as their cinema release hence the high quality illegal option.

I don’t think it gets released in cinemas here until the end of September. Which in this day and age with high quality HD rips and 4K rips being available within hours will no doubt hurt its revenue stream.

Wether it will be available to stream here same time as cinema release I’m not sure.

Anyhoot. Also took the illegal option last night and like others found it quite charming. Its a bill and ted film following pretty much the same formula that worked in the other 2 while doing that standard Hollywood thing of anything 80s/90s that’s bought back by throwing their kids in our faces, which helped to a degree I guess.

Will our kids enjoy it and be encouraged to watch the others? Probably not. A pure nostalgia fest for anyone 35+
 
I loved it. I normally hate these nostalgia films but this one really worked just by being incredibly dumb (in a good way). They didn't really try to be modern, they just did a silly Bill and Ted film

One thing that I really liked was how the special effects were really dated, that must have been on purpose. I also loved that it was 90 minutes long
 
Watched it today. Um, it just wasn't funny. Not sure why, but it just didn't work. And the woman playing Keanu's daughter was annoying - she just impersonated him through the whole movie.

I didn't much care for this either, but the actress who played Ted's daughter did a far better job at being Ted than Keanu Reeves, who didn't seem to find his way back into the character. The fact that the daughters are exactly like their dads was the point and I thought she was rather good.
 
I thought it was ok. I watched it on a lazy afternoon and it filled that slot quite well. I wasn't expecting the world but I think I enjoyed it. I like Teds daughter. I'm not sure about the wives going through time subplot or the fact there was sod all in the future apart from a massive massive road and an empty hall.
. . . but yeah, it looked like everyone was having fun.
I also liked the fact that the two families still did everything together, but again with the wives plot it was weird (bad, but then, without anything changing, good). I know it needed something there to drive bill and ted but I think something more well defined would have been better.

I loved her. I loved the humility of the film and the performances. nerds don't have humility anymore, it's meant to be important now, this had humility
The daughters could have been obnoxious, but they weren't they were dumb like Bill and Ted
 
I wonder if watching it on the big screen at the cinema made a difference. It felt kinda amateurish, and that might not be as obvious if you're watching a download on a laptop. I really wanted to like it. Didn't hate it, just didn't think it was very good. It definitely was good-spirited and that was nice to see.

The daughter was very Ted, but it felt like a movie-length impersonation rather than her acting a character - would have been better, to me, if it had been toned down a bit as the movie went on. I mean, they do have mothers too, they're not actually clones.
 
I don’t care about its (ample) limitations, it was written for me and I loved it. And the trilogy needed completing, I didn’t realise until it was completed. Bill and Ted needed to save the world, not to just theoretically save it in the future some time.
 
I wish I'd liked it like you guys did. I was in the mood, like Bill and Ted and was with someone who felt the same. Just... meh.

Glad you all liked it though.
 
Went to see it this evening - I wasn't in the mood, but it really cheered me up and also thought it was funny and sweet. And being a mess was part of its charm. Also, as gsv pointed out - it was about something, about being backed up by people who believe in you. I loved the fact that the girls were kind of wasters but the point was their dads had let them follow their love of music and appreciated them for who they were in way their parents didn't for them.
 
It's on amazon prime

Me and Mrs Voltz watched it this evening. We both wished we hadn't bothered, what an absolute pile. I'd hoped they'd just left it at two, which we both enjoyed, but no they had to try and squeeze another one out

It's been a while since I saw it, but yeah, it wasn't great. Looks well cheap. I does have it's moments though and there was possibly a fairly decent film in there somewhere at somepoint. . . just got a bit lost.
Also in it's defence I re-watched the other two around the same time I watched the third . . . . and despite loving them in the 80s, I thought they were also dreadful.
 
Bill and ted 2 was 91

and the movies were not mentally challenging

Station

sounds like the 3rd film as the same beat what streaming service is it on?
 
Gave up halfway through. Wanted to like it but it just didn’t work for me. Keanu’s “daughter” was the last straw. She was terrible.
