Bill & Ted Face the Music is a love letter to the series. It's the sort of film that will be very enjoyable for fans of what's come before and bore pretty much everyone else. As someone who has never really got the whole Bill & Ted thing, Face the Music offered nothing to make me change that.
It's hard to criticize something so earnest in its pure approach, and something that pleases the people it does please. But honestly if it's not your bag it might be a bit tiring. The movie goes through a lot of effort to set up jokes that often, for me, feel like they didn't pay off. So I've just spent a lot of time sitting through joke set up only to have them fall flat.
I know Keanu is going through a bit of a renaissance right now but fortunately for his fans, he's making a number of different sorts of movies meaning you can find something you can enjoy him in even if it's not as Theodore Logan.
So, just go for it if you dig it. Otherwise, skip it and let those who enjoy it enjoy it.
