Justin Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 It's been almost 30 years and I'm still holding out hope to see these bodacious time travelers back on the big screen one more time, and done the right way! nosweargamer and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 This would be totally awesome. But like so many sequels these days....what the heck takes them so long? Think about it...Bladerunner, Star Wars (with original cast), Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, etc. They waited 20+ years in most cases, and by then the momentum was gone, and the actors had aged considerably. You just have to respect something like the Back to the Future trilogy, which went ahead and filmed parts 2 and 3 back to back, and then closed the book. No more sequels. nosweargamer and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 At least they are sequels and not a stupid reboot. Justin, RickR and nosweargamer 3 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebooted Footloose was not that great IMO. nosweargamer, Justin and RickR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 One good reboot I can think of is Batman. I think the Christian Bale "Dark Knight" series is much better than what came before. Star Trek is another. I can't say it's better than before, but at least it brought new life and new fans to Star Trek. As far as sequels, Star Wars is a really fascinating one. Watching episodes 7 and 8 really makes me wish they'd done these BEFORE episodes 1 - 3 were made, as the OG cast is really old. They still get the job done, but it makes me sad to think of the missed opportunities. Justin and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Those are good reboots that seem to be more of an exception. I did not like the reboots for Robocop, Ben Hur, or Ghostbusters. nosweargamer, Justin and RickR 3 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

nosweargamer Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's one thing to have a delayed sequel when the main characters were already adults in the original. I'm not sure how Bill & Ted 3 can work when the originals featured them as immature teens. If you mature them, they lose a lot of the fun of the first two movies, but if they are still just as immature in 50 year old bodies, then it becomes kind of sad. Don't get me wrong: I like the Bill & Ted characters and I want this movie to end up being good, but I'm not sure how they can pull it off. Personally I think Ghostbusters 3 will have a better chance pulling off the late sequel thing. Oh, and I kinda liked the Robocop reboot.

MaximumRD Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I had just made a topic about the trailer when I noticed this thread so I will simply paste my reaction. Happy for actor Alex Winter, nice Keanu remembers the movie that helped launch his career, yes he did other things before but let's face it average person thinks of Bill & Ted. PARTY ON DUDES ! 🎸🥳 Sabertooth, TrekMD and Justin 3 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

Justin Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I think the lack of Rufus would really make any Bill & Ted outing feel hollow, but fingers crossed this film surpasses expectations 🤞 RickR and MaximumRD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I watched the trailer again...I know it's just me, but Keanu Reeves looks a little uncomfortable playing that part. In the originals, he (and Alex Winter) are all in, playing the part with gusto. Fingers crossed that this turns out well. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
