Absolutely Brilliant!

A Masterpiece!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

So, of course this is just my opinion, but what made the original Bill and Ted really funny was the interaction of historical characters with present day life. That was pretty much the original premise too, being that they had to come up with a history project on how a historical figure would view society as a whole today! In this movie, they basically threw that out. I was excited when they introduced people like Edison and Bach in the beginning, but you never really interact with them or really anyone else. Instead of the fun and quirky historical characters, Bill and Ted interact with people like the Grim Reaper, two weird aliens, nightmare-inducing robots, The Devil, and even God. I was sadly laughing in my head just marveling that this was the direction they chose to go. I mean seriously? Also the ending seemed to stretch for awhile but I get that they wanted to kind of rap up the series.The movie does have some pro's though and some jokes are definitely hilarious. Bill and Ted are still Bill and Ted and both actors perform brilliantly. And it's a good movie for any Bill and Ted fans... But I just felt that this direction for a sequel seemed very... off from the original.That being said, it would be really fun to revisit the two again nowadays and see them interact with some other historical figures. I'd totally be down to see that.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991): Dir: Peter Hewitt / Cast: Alex Winter, Keanu Reeves, William Sadler, George Carlin, Pam Grier: Bogus certainly describes the film. It begins with a Star Wars parody with George Carlin making a narrow escape to warn our moron guitar playing heroes about a world domination scheme. Bill and Ted are teenagers with the intelligence of a snot rag who are auditioning for a major concert but they are eventually thrown off a cliff by robot look-alikes. Perhaps they tried to stop production of this film. Darn it, they failed. The Grim Reapers challenges their souls in the film's one great laugh where he is whooped at Battleship, Clue and Twister. Then they venture to Heaven in search of the smartest scientist who ever lived so that good robot look-alikes can be manufactured. Anyone who claims to be the world's smartest scientist ought to know better than to be caught on camera during one of the year's stupidest films. Bogus plot directed by Peter Hewitt with dazzling special effects. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves look foolish and act like jackasses. William Sadler is the one performance of great hilarity as the Grim Reaper completely overtaken by teenage madness. Pam Grier is underused, but then again she should be thankful not to be seen more than needed here. Carlin is unfortunately wasted in a film that might have been interesting had it not been so stupid. Score: 2 ½ / 10

A tyrant from the future (Joss Acklund) creates evil android doubles of Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) and sends them back to eliminate the originals.Somehow, when this film came out, it had better reviews than the original. In retrospect, that baffles the mind. While not a bad film (William Sadler is especially good), there is no way this holds up to the original. It is a little too dark, the music a little too dated, the script a little too scatter-brained.Talks of a third third continue... will it ever happen? I am starting to think not, though Keanu Reeves is now (2015) not the star he was from 1995-2005 and could probably make himself available... would Bill and Ted be the same, or would they have become mature adults?

The world of our distant future is a utopian one, thanks to the lyrics of two 20th Century rock and rollers, Bill and Ted.However, a villainous Joss Ackland threatens to throw history off-track by sending evil robot Bill and Teds back to kill their good counterparts.Finding themselves dead, the boys must outwit the Grim Reaper and traverse Heaven and Hell to return to the land of the living, rescue their girlfriends and win at the all-important Battle of the Bands.....Less of a film and more of a group of sketches melded together to make something quite bizarre, Bogus Journey works because of the two leads easy going style, and Sadler's wonderful camp portrayal of the Grim Reaper.For a film that is so out there, in a narrative respect, the imagery and the camera-work is truly genius.From the moment we first meet Death, it does have a lingering feeling of Bergman to it, and the make up is beautiful too at this point of the film.The depictions of Heaven and Hell are brilliant too, and the film is at it's funniest when we meet Einstein and a game of charades.It loses it's way come the end, and becomes a little too self aware, but it's still a fun throwaway movie, that can be enjoyed from time to time.But it's still the best film ever made featuring someone who is inexplicably satisfied by having a Melvin.
