I was pleasantly surprised by Bill and Ted. Usually when I see a 'younger generation hand-off', I'm ready for the worst, but the girls actually felt like they could be their real daughters. IMO they fit in pretty seamlessly.
I also liked that instead of going for the 'lets continue the magic' attempt like Dumb and Dumber To, they actually set out to finish the trilogy as a cohesive unit. The first two movies were bonkers and made little rational sense, but they still did their best to tie a bow on it.
William Sadler was awesome as Death. A couple of characters were shoehorned in, but it was forgivable. The parallel time travel actually worked and made it not feel like a retread.
Was it great in any way? No. Was it uniquely positive during a year when we desperately need it? Yes.
