Bill & Ted 3: Should not be sequeled.

I saved this movie for last in a new category called "Should not be sequeled". Recently, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters have confirmed that they will be doing a Bill & Ted 3. Now, I am a huge fan of the Bill and Ted franchise, and I would much more appreciate a remake. But for the love of Jesse, Jacob and Jeremiah these men are in their 40's! And besides that, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey had an ending that signaled that it was the end, and it was a great ending at that.


I recently spoke of milking a dry cow. There is no reason to try and add onto a solidified story? This new Bill and Ted won't have the same feel as the first two, primarily because it's been such a huge gap since the last movie (1991). George Carlin can't play Rufus anymore because, well, he's dead (Rest In Peace). I mean they could always do the Shining Time Station swap and get Ringo Starr to play Rufus but it won't be the same. If these two are going to play an aged Bill & Ted, who in their youths were symbols of rebellion and energy, then I don't think it will be an enjoyable movie.

Keanu says that the plot is basically about how Bill and Ted were supposed to save the world, and that wasn't accomplished so they are now possessed with trying to do that. Does it seem like a decent plot? NO! Come on it's been 20 years. In Bogus Journey, they traveled through time to learn how to play the guitars,and it worked brilliantly. So you expect me to believe that with an ending to the second movie that included two intelligent aliens and the grim reaper, that the world saving song still has not been written 20 years later? SHENANIGANS!

Look, I'm sure that there are a few people that may find the movie interesting. But it just doesn't sit with me? What are your thoughts on this movie idea? Should they or shouldn't they?
