They could do a 4 movie called "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in The Matrix";)
Wait, Death will be in the 3rd one, cool.
Dragon,
But how do they get John Wick involve??? But yeah having Death come back is cool.
But Thomas, it's the Matrix, they could include any movie they want really;)
I wonder what games they'll play this time.
It's also William Sadler again!
This doesn't look... good? I'll probably still watch it just because I enjoyed the other two.
Hopefully, I'll have set the bar low and the movie will turn out to be good!
Wonder if they will slip in a George Carlin tribute.
The trailer didn't inspire a lot of confidence. Please don't let this suck!
I'm not sure it won't suck...but it can't suck worse than Battlefield Earth. That's kind of my go to standard for "Movies that are terrible."
My expectations were never that high to begin with....
Its like suddenly everybody remembers Bill and Ted were closer to Dude wheres my Car than Back to the Future.

To be fair, Dude where's my car was more like Bill and Ted...
Aside from the fact that Bill and Ted were more original than any of the surfer duo movies that came after, part of my issue with this trailer is the characters' apparent ages. Viscerally, I'm expecting to have seen them change in the ~20 years since we last saw them. The same characters as middle-aged men isn't working for me.
Androste,
Did you expect them to be more rounded?
Maybe?
I realize that the whole point of the movie (as far as I can tell from the trailer) is that they are still searching for the perfect song, but there's got to be something else to them other than "Whoa, dude" and searching for this song after all this time.
There's lots of different way to show that the characters have grown, but I'm not particularly expecting any particular thing. Just that they aren't exactly emotionally and mentally the same as they were 20 years ago.
I recognize that it's difficult to assess the characters from just the short clips that have been released.

You are expecting Springsteen out of Seger here man.
Honestly I was expecting the Beatles out of Slayer myself... ;)
This makes a weird amount of sense. What artist is ever appreciated in their own time?
YAY!!!@Kahnya for mentioning the Boys of Metallica!
arch
Yeah I noticed that too. But hey, at least it's a better trailer than the last one!
Also DEATH! :D
Yeah archmagi1, I was thinking the same thing that would be the "twist".
Excellent trailer otherwise.
Indeed, Dragon. It was better than the first one by a country mile.
Weezer put out a new video, a "Wyld Stallyns Edit," which I'm assuming is on the soundtrack. If you like Weezer's music, you might enjoy this song.
Weezer is better than some things.
So... has anyone here actually watched this movie we've been talking about since March 2019?
I still plan to... I just keep forgetting about it.
Honestly I've still not seen New Mutants even though I told myself I would.
With Black Widow probably being pushed back AGAIN (along with Wonder Woman 1985) I'm just not sure I'll see much in the way of new releases..
Google results say yes.
Which site?

I bought it on Amazon the day it came out. Its pretty good, better than what you would expect for a sequel to a 20 year old film series. The movie is funny, but not in a 'comedy' sort of way; it's an examination on aging and failure, but not in a 'drama' sort of way; it's uplifting, but not in a 'feel-good' sort of way.
Its a pretty mellow blending of the typical dramedy formula you might find in a Judd Apatow film, but made by a team that has less penchant for juvenile jokes and profanity than Apatow. Tonally similar with comparable pacing between 'funny parts' and 'sad drama' parts, but with very different substance in its makeup.
Alex Winter is the standout, though. His Bill hasn't reached the point of *sigh* like Reeves' Ted has, and he gives it his absolute best in the scenes with future Bills and Teds. Death kind of phones it in, and as much as I love Samara Weaving, she was one of the weaker performances as well.
But with the *TWIST* from the trailer referenced above, the final sequence in the movie gives a satisfying tie-in to previously established canon, building on 20 years of failure, and letting the new B-story leads (Little Bill and Little Ted) complete their arc as well.
