I watched these movies 20+ years ago and now my 13 year old loves them! Not as good as the first one, but still plenty of laughs!

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a good sequel to ...Excellent Adventure but I was hoping for so much more. Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and George Carlin reprise their role and I do like the Seventh Seal send-up of this film, the grim reaper is the best part of the film. Reeves sure makes the audience believe he is that shallow, bravo! Check this hidden treasure out sometime!

Time travel's most unlikely heroes are at it again. This time the romp isn't as fun as their first movie. You would think with the same writing team from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure some of the old magic would still be there. Alas it wasn't. It's not that Bogus Journey wasn't funny or enjoyable enough to watch, but at the same time it's not in the same league as its predecessor on many levels.
First off the future setting was off from before. The futuristic costumes in this movie took a massive turn for the worse compared to the last one (can you say day-glow foam suits?). Sets weren't as bad, but you can notice a change. The villain also seemed out of place in this film, but I guess he keeps the plot moving. Granted the evil Bill and Ted robots and their blatant badness were amusing... to a point. Then it gets tired and repetitive. The chemistry between Bill and Ted themselves didn't seem as strong as the first movie either. Maybe it's just the script that's making it seem strained
Instead of traveling through time they are going through Heaven, Hell, Purgatory (sorta) and plain old San Dimas. A few cameos from those historical characters in the last movie, Socrates or Abe Lincoln, would have fit perfectly in the story. But that never happens. That interaction with a couple of teens from the valley and historical icons is what made the first movie so great. You don't get the same kind of interaction this time around. The only exception, and a good one I might add, is their relationship with the Grim Reaper. William Sadler literally steals the show with a fantastically funny performance through and through.
I might as well hit my biggest gripe, which happens at the end of the movie. Essentially all that talk from the last movie about, "no matter what you do your current clock is always ticking" was pretty much thrown out the window in place of a quick fix. Also they wasted some good talent with George Carlin, who does pretty much nothing in the movie but fulfill an immensely stupid plot twist... thus again the writers take an easy way out of the plot.
I know I have been slamming this movie hard, but I will admit it's still fun to watch once you get past the crap. The scenes with the Grim Reaper are alone worth seeing the movie. I guess all this stuff I said is to just warn you not to expect too much from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. It's good for a few laughs, but don't expect greatness... or very goodness at that.
