Critics Consensus

As wholesomely goofy as its heroes, Bill and Ted Face the Music is a rare long-belated sequel that largely recaptures the franchise's original charm.

2/5

Quickly collapses into something resembling a wobbly charity reunion, which fans may find themselves trying their hardest to enjoy through gritted teeth.

We could all do with a little dose of Bill and Ted's optimism - the simple belief that kindness and camaraderie can bring us all together.

It's totally excellent (cue air guitar) to rediscover a corner of this dulled universe where joy and innocence still shine.

The Bill and Ted series will endure as pop-culture classics, and this entry doesn’t let the brand down; it’s most awesome, totally non-bogus, and has a positive message...

In theory, it's nice to imagine that those amiable airheads Bill and Ted would have been the ones to save 2020 from being a complete downer, but this belated sequel feels more wheezy than anything.

It’s sweet and silly, with all the innocence and whimsy of the original films, and nary a cynical or sarcastic note in the entire journey.

This movie sucked balls so badly that the mostly positive reviews on RT make me question the integrity of this site. The plot was stale, the production was mid at best, and the acting was horrible. It’s an absolute shame what they did to the Bill and Ted franchise. I only recommend watching this if you enjoy gawking when driving by a multi-casualty car crash.

Bill & Ted Face the Music is one of my favorite films to watch because it captures the fun, positivity, and charm that made the series so memorable. It feels like a genuine continuation rather than a simple nostalgia project, and that helped me enjoy it from beginning to end. The humor is lighthearted and entertaining, with plenty of moments that made me smile. The movie embraces its quirky style while still feeling fresh, making it enjoyable for both longtime fans and newer viewers. Another reason I enjoy this film so much is its upbeat and optimistic tone. The cast clearly has fun with the material, and that energy carries throughout the entire movie. It is the kind of film that is easy to revisit whenever I want something fun and uplifting. Overall, Bill & Ted Face the Music is a delightful sequel that succeeds through its humor, heart, and positive spirit. It always leaves me in a good mood, which is why it remains one of my favorite movies to watch. I'd rate it a 9/10.
