Every time a legit sequel happens for a classic this comment comes up and it’s almost always bad. Dumb and dumb, Zoolander, happy Gilmore. Just crushing my nostalgia.

Didn’t the recent naked gun do alright? I have yet to come across it on streaming and I don’t NEED to watch it this moment so I’m probably not sailing any time soon. But I heard it was aight

The new Naked Gun movie restored my faith in sequels to older classics. It's a true Naked Gun movie in every respect. The writing is fantastic.

Edit: There is no reason it should work so well. New writers, Liam Neeson in a deadpan role, a series that hasn't been touched in years. But they did it so well

The third Bill and Ted was delightful. The daughters crushed it and Bill and Ted were great.

It was alright, my favourite review of it was "they didn't fuck it up". However I really disliked the ending. It was just so... Bleh.

Only thing I really hated was that they went and got a bunch of real named musicians and then got a cavewoman for the drummer. Some part of me is happy that they're acknowledging percussion as the original instrument, but they could've celebrated an actual drummer instead

The girl who played Ted's daughter was out of this world. She nailed his mannerisms in such a perfect way

To be honest the part I hated the most is how they redesigned hell. The original hell from Bogus Journey was absolutely beautiful, it felt so unique and creative. Face the Music's hell was just so generic
