The first two bill and ted films are classics, they're nostalgic, BUT they aren't "masterpieces" and neither is B&T 3.
The third movie has a plot that's more streamlined like the first film rather than the second. This is a good thing. The daughters are a fantastic addition and used to their strengths. They aren't here to replace our leads but to give them a shot of youthfulness. And it works! Some of the jokes however don't land as well as they should. Some of that is due to editing and directing rather than the actors or writing. The ending, though abrupt is satisfying and actually does a very good job of bringing some reasonable answers to some obvious questions, such as, "how was a single SONG going to unite the whole world?"
Overall, the film if flawed but so were the first two. After rewatching the first and second in preparation for this one, I was able to see the flaws of the originals. Though I love those films, it's clear to me that this one joins them in their humor and fun, flaws and all.
I encourage everyone to maybe remove their nostalgia glasses and give this one another shot.
Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!
