BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (Theatrical Release USA 1989)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì


Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
lacks connectivity, the links necessary to establish a solid storyline. It leaves too many logical connections behind so that the reasons for the appearance of characters from the future and from the past are lost. Instead of a good, time traveling flick, it can be easily labeled as improbable due to a consistent failure to follow many of the time travel ‘rules’ previous movies have set in stone for movie goers.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. However, this type of comedy presents itself better in movies like The Three Stooges (2012).
