Highly Overrated But Still Good

Best movie of this year hands down!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There are many movies of my generation that looking back are either mediocre or downright terrible that I will always love as I enjoyed it at the time or it meant a lot to me when I first saw it. This movie was before my generation and I had heard how it was a classic and I must see it. Now that I have I don't see how anyone who doesn't have an emotional connection with it from when it was released thinks this is in anyway a smart, funny movie. While obviously for these movies you need to suspend reality to enjoy it, this is just downright ridiculous and the storyline is almost non existent other than an excuse to pick some famous historical figures and merge them in the modern world. The collection appears to be random and the majority of their portrayals are just stereotypes. In particular the use of Napoleon was absurd and the lack of amazement at the new world was in the back of my mind the whole time. I love ridiculous movies but this one just felt like a stoner comedy with hardly any jokes and just lazy humor. I was incredibly disappointed in this movie. As I said, if this came out when I was a teenager then I may have connected to it and found it charming. However as someone who is watching for the first time, it hasn't aged well and I would be surprised if many others felt the same way. Might be worth a watch as it's referenced a lot of pop culture but I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a good film!

One for the bong heads out there. "Pass the Bing dude"

Plot; Two would-be rockers travel through time to gather up important historical figures in an effort to pass a history class w/mankind's fate in the balance. Though after 30 years its fashion, music and slang are passé, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure retains every bit of its original charm. Highlighted by two most excellent performances from the titular Bill and Ted (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves respectively), this lean, light and stupidly clever (or is that cleverly stupid?) time travel comedy is, well, timeless.

This movie is the epitome of "enjoy the ride". it's light, funny and it still manages to be quite interesting. The way they handled time travel is very interesting and i actually quite like it. As much as you'd might think this sounds stupid but the acting is actually quite good, I can't even imagine myself being able to 1. do those voices and 2. say some of those line with a straight face. ALSO, the concept for this movie I find to be amazingly interesting, I can not imagine something like this being green lit today. + George Carlin just makes anything better.
