🎸🎶🕝The awesome Bill & Ted's trilogy 🕝🎶🎸@culebro1097d

I had heard about this trilogy for a long time, but since I had not given it any importance, I never saw it, but about three weeks ago I was reviewing the Amazon catalog and I came across these excellent movies.

Desde hace mucho rato había escuchado sobre esta trilogía, pero como no le había dado importancia no las vi nunca, pero hace como tres semanas aproximadamente estuve revisando el catálogo de Amazon y me topé con estas excelentes películas.

The Bill & Ted trilogy is a series of films that focuses on the comedic adventures of two friends, Bill S. Preston Esquire (Alex Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves). These films, which include "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey," and "Bill & Ted Face the Music," have gained a cult following over the years and have become classics from the comedy.

Estas películas, que incluyen "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" y "Bill & Ted Face the Music", han ganado un culto de seguidores a lo largo de los años y se han convertido en clásicos de la comedia.

The first film, "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989), features Bill and Ted as two high school students who are about to graduate but risk failing their history class. However, their future changes when a time traveler named Rufus (George Carlin) gives them access to a phone booth that allows them to travel back in time to meet famous historical figures. Together, Bill and Ted travel through different eras and enlist the likes of Napoleon, Socrates and Billy the Kid to help them complete their history project and pass their exam.

La primera película, "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989), presenta a Bill y Ted como dos estudiantes de secundaria que están a punto de graduarse pero corren el riesgo de reprobar su clase de historia. Sin embargo, su futuro cambia cuando un viajero en el tiempo llamado Rufus (George Carlin) les da acceso a una cabina telefónica que les permite viajar al pasado para conocer a personajes históricos famosos. Juntos, Bill y Ted recorren diferentes épocas y reclutan a personajes como Napoleón, Sócrates y Billy the Kid para ayudarles a completar su proyecto de historia y pasar el examen.

The movie is a comedy full of absurd humor and hilarious situations. The chemistry between Winter and Reeves is evident, and their portrayal of the Bill and Ted characters is charming and funny. As they travel back in time, the two friends learn about history in a unique way and realize that they can influence the future with their actions in the past.

La química entre Winter y Reeves es evidente, y su interpretación de los personajes de Bill y Ted es encantadora y divertida. A medida que viajan en el tiempo, los dos amigos aprenden sobre la historia de una manera única y se dan cuenta de que pueden influir en el futuro con sus acciones en el pasado.

The sequel, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991), takes the characters on a new adventure after they are killed by their evil robotic doppelgangers. Bill and Ted must face Death (William Sadler) and travel through hell and heaven to return to life and save their girlfriends and the world. This movie is even more outlandish and surreal than the first, and it features a darker, weirder tone. Although it wasn't as successful as the first film, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" still has its own charm and offers funny and memorable moments.

La secuela, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991), lleva a los personajes a una nueva aventura después de que son asesinados por sus malvados dobles robóticos. Bill y Ted deben enfrentarse a la Muerte (William Sadler) y recorrer el infierno y el cielo para regresar a la vida y salvar a sus novias y al mundo. Esta película es aún más extravagante y surrealista que la primera, y presenta un tono más oscuro y extraño. Aunque no fue tan exitosa como la primera película, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" todavía tiene su propio encanto y ofrece momentos divertidos y memorables.

After almost thirty years, the trilogy was completed with "Bill & Ted Face the Music" (2020). In this film, Bill and Ted are now adults and parents, but they have not yet fulfilled their destiny of creating the song that will save the world. With the help of their daughters, Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Thea (Samara Weaving), Bill and Ted embark on a journey back in time to find the perfect song and assemble a band of legendary musicians. This movie is a tribute to fans of the original movies and offers a mix of nostalgia and fresh humor.

›Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) by Stephen Herek (REVIEW)@lost1082630d
This is an awesome movie made in 1989, it has two epic genres that go very well together, comedy and science fiction, similar to "Back to the Future" movie.

This movie has a second part as well, the first part of the movie is a story about Bill and Ted, they travel through time in order to make their project of history. In the second part, they are fighting their clone robots.

It's a little bit of a childish movie but it's definitely meant to make you feel good and you make you laugh. If you liked the first part I think that you gonna enjoy the second part as well, it's called "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey".

›Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (film) - Keanu's breakout role@gooddream2731d
I say this because this put him on the "map" so to speak in terms of Hollywood. This film is also a "blessing and a curse" for ol' Reeves, who has struggled to shake the silly nature of his character in this film and I think people should just let that go. He is one of the biggest action stars of all time and although I don't really think he is a fantastic actor, he is in a lot of fantastic films.

I tend to view Keanu in the same light as Leo Dicaprio and for the most part Nick Cage. They aren't really great actors but for some reason they continually land excellent films and these movies almost always make tons of money. That is another story though I suppose.

If you are over 30, you probably already know about this movie but if your only experience with Keanu is wooden action films, I highly suggest you check this movie out because while it is stupid, it is also a lot of fun. When watching it it is hard to imagine that Reeves went on to build his career almost exclusively doing action films, but i think we have Point Break to thank for that.

The story is like this: Ted (Reeves) and Bill (Alex Winter) are high-school idiots who focus all their time and energy on their band the "Wyld Stallions" and not so much on schoolwork. They are in danger of failing but then come across a time-machine where they go around and find a bunch of historical figures to help them pass their final exam.

They meet up with Abraham Lincoln, Socrates (who they call "so-krates") and Beethoven (who they call "Beeth- Oven.") Sound dumb yet? Well it is. However i was very young when it came out and it really appealed to me then. Now when i see it it is mostly just to see Keanu not scowl all the time because that is pretty much all he does in films these days.
*this trailer is so 80's*
So the only reason I am suggesting this film is because there are grumblings that Reeves is thinking of a reboot of this film, presumably so his pal Alex Winter can have some work. I think it is a bad idea but whatever. I'm sure it will make a crap ton of money. This is NOT a great movie, but it did make more than $30 million and solidified Reeves as a Hollywood powerhouse and I suppose that is a good thing.

6 / 10

I'm probably giving a few more points than it deserves based on nostalgia

›Throwback Thursday: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure@darthnihilus2932d

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a hilarious and fun ride that keeps you entertained the whole way through. Starring Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and one of my all time favorite comedians George Carlin, this movie takes you on a totally gnarly trip through to time with just one goal in mind, pass history! With a Bill and Ted 3 looming on the horizon I thought now was as good a time as any to dive into the production and what I love about the movie. Just don't forget to wind your watch before we get started.

Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure did not have many production troubles but did have several changes to the original script before filming began. For instance, Bill and Ted were originally supposed to be 14-year old outcasts and Rufus (Carlin) was supposed to be 28. After they cast the roles they decided to change up characters to match the actors they picked. The famous phone booth time machine was originally going to be a van, but the producers thought it would make the movie too similar to Back To The Future and decided to go with the phone booth. Charlemagne and Babe Ruth were also originally supposed to join the cast of historical figures along with a character called John The Serf who still appears in the credits. John The Serf was played by James Bowbitch, and other than that I can't find anything about him, he is only credited in this role and this movie. The majority of the film was shot in Arizona, with some shots of Raging Waters San Dimas mixed with Golfland Sunsplash in Arizona to create the Waterloo water park scenes. The castle where Bill and Ted pick up their future wives is Odescalchi Castle located in Bracciano Italy. This castle is also where Tom Cruise was married and part of the miniseries Medici: Masters of Florence was filmed. Other than a few rewrites Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure went pretty smoothly, a rarity in Hollywood productions it seems.

The real trouble came when it was time for the movie to be released. De Laruentiis Entertainment Group( see Army of Darkness) held the rights to release the movie but folded before the movie had finished production. Despite wrapping production in May of 1987 the movie sat in mothballs until Orion Pictures and Nelson Entertainment bought the rights in 1988. The movie was finally released in February of 1989, nearly 2 years after it was finished. It was considered a box office success bringing in around 40 million on a budget of 10 million. Critics were lukewarm( but what do they know?) but audiences were enthusiastic and it quickly became a cult classic.

I am a big fan of George Carlin and I love history so this movie really ticks the right boxes for me. Everyone's performances are great, the soundtrack is memorable and keeps the action rolling, and the lines are infinitely quotable dude. I think I first saw it with my Dad when I was around 12 and I have enjoyed it ever since. It isn't a masterpiece of cinema or a deep existential think-piece, it's a fun, funny movie that you can watch with people of all ages. If you haven't seen this movie you should really watch it, and with another sequel on the way, Bill and Ted Face The Music, old fans should re-watch it to get ready. If I can leave you with one piece of advice, be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!
