    Quoted from seenev:

    . I feel like there's got to be some stuff missing and I just assumed it's because they didn't have time for it. For example, the scene from the trailer where they meet their daughters in hell and they ask how they are, but then say "but how ARE you?"... That seems like it would have been set up by a scene with the therapist where she tells them to ask how their wives really are... But there's no such scene in the movie.

    The one that bumped me was Bill knowing that Kelly was Rufus’ daughter. How the F would he know that? In my mind there’s a cut scene where Rufus visited them over the years, and brought his young daughter to meet their young daughters....but they didn’t have money to do a good CG Rufus. I wish they would have just rewritten that so Kelly tells them she’s Rufus’s daughter after they see the hologram.

    Minor nitpicks - I had a smile from ear to ear & it’s just a minor miracle that this movie even exists. To get a true sequel with the original cast & writers vs. a reboot or remake just doesn’t seem to happen. I just wish it was a bit longer. I feel like it needed more build up front, showing some of the families dynamics, showing the Princesses as the breadwinners, etc. I also would have liked maybe 5 min more after the ending, again showing the families together & happy & things back to normal. There’s really no interaction between the moms and daughters, and that felt very odd to me.

    Quoted from seenev:

    I think I like the movie more after watching it again. I do think it has flaws but it's just fun to see Bill and Ted again, especially when they interact with their future selves. I think the main thing that bothered me is that this movie retcons the future of the previous two movies without any explanation at all. The first two movies portray a future society built on Bill and Ted's music in general. This movie changes all that and just makes the future aware of some prophecy where "Preston and Logan" perform a song at a specific time and place that prevents the universe from collapsing...and they don't knew what or where it is despite it being in their past. I think that part of the movie is very sloppy.
    But the scenes with Bill and Ted interacting with themselves are worth the price alone.

    I don’t think it was retconned - I think, like any mythology, the further you get from it, the further it strays from the truth. This is 700 years in the future. There was a line about Rufus believing in the prophecy & the leader didn’t seem so sure about it. So - that all worked OK for me. Also, it seems like time/reality had to unravel and intersect in order for everyone throughout time to be part of the song and unite the world. It’s a self sustaining time loop, something that was always part of B&T time stuff...the future affecting the past & whatnot.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    One of joys of this franchise is how little care they put into trying to keep timelines and logic kosher. You can drive yourself insane at trying to figure out if Looper actually makes sense or you can enjoy Bill and Ted dropping buckets on their enemies by promising to arrange booby traps later. Either way it’s good clean fun!

    Bill & Ted is silly and absurdist, so goofy time logic doesn’t bother me like it does in a movie pretending to be serious like Looper. Looper lost me right at the start when the future guy’s limbs kept vanishing because his past self was being tortured. If that’s what happened to him in the past, he would have never lived to old age with his arms and legs in the first place.
