SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Matt Greene A surreal, existential comedy sequel that expands on the fun of the first with bolder and trippier ideas and images, all while staying away from any sort of pomp or annoyance. Honestly, the fact that Primus is in this movie is an absolutely perfect marriage.

jcbutthead86 Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is an excellent and hilarious sequel that combines great direction,a wonderful cast,terrific laughs,a fantastic script and a memorable score and soundtrack. All of those elements make Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey an amazing sequel that's worthy to the original.Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey finds Bill(Alex Winter)and Ted(Keanu Reeves)who's band Wild Stalyns have entered a battle of the bands while at the same time asking their girlfriends to marry them. Things are going well for Bill and Ted until the two are killed by evil robot versions of themselves sent from the future by an evil leader named De Nomolos(Joss Ackland)who wants to rule the world. Now,Bill and Ted have have to get back from the dead defeat the forces of evil.Released in 1991,Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a brilliant and hilarious film that was the follow-up to the Cult Classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. While Bogus Journey was a modest success at the Box Office grossing 38 million dollars against a 20 million dollar budget,the movie has always had a mixed to lukewarm reception among Bill and Ted fans and doesn't get the same love as the first film and I don't know why. Maybe it was because it had the misfortune of being released around the same time as the SCI-FI/Action classic Terminator 2:Judgment Day which was a much bigger hit or maybe the characters Bill and Ted peaked in popularity with the first film which is a shame because Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a film that is underrated and overlooked. One of the things I love about Bogus Journey is that while being sequel to Excellent Adventure it takes on a much different tone and feel from the first film. Instead of making an other movie about time traveling Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is many things funny,wacky and at times surreal. For 93 minutes Bogus Journey throws in everything but the kitchen sink because in this film we get Comedy,SCI-FI,evil robots,Death,intelligent Alien Scientists(Station!),the afterlife,spirituality Heavy Metal and Rock music all in one movie done with great imagination and Humor. Some Bill and Ted fans will be turned off by difference in tone and style,but I love it because it's a movie that while a sequel sets up it's own world. The Comedy and Laughs in Bogus Journey are laugh out loud funny with Humor that is on par with the original while at same time giving the Comedy in this film it's own sense of style and pace. The screenplay by Chris Matheson and Ed Soloman is fantastic giving the movie quotable dialog and inspired scenes. As for our heroes Bill and Ted their journey in this one isn't the fun excellent adventure they had in the first film as the two go through a wild and unpredictable ride going to Heaven and meeting God(which is a beautiful)going to Hell and meeting the Devil and others(which is a twisted and funny scene)and playing board and toy games with the Grim Reaper(one of the funniest scenes in any movie). Bill and Ted may get kicked around in this film ,find some of their Journey insane and crazy and still can't play their instruments for their own sakes but we as the audience will root for these two characters to find a way to succeed and get a victory against the forces of evil. The ending of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is sensational with a mixture of laughs,surprises and music that adds to the Bill and Ted legend and will leave viewers happy. A terrific conclusion.The cast is great. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves are excellent and hilarious once again as Bill and Ted bring laughs and nice chemistry. William Sadler is amazing and funny as Death,who helps out Bill and Ted. Joss Ackland is great as De Nomolas,the main villain. George Carlin is wonderful once again as Rufus,the man from the future. Pam Grier is sexy and memorable as Ms. Wardroe. Annette Azcuy(Elizabeth)and Sarah Trigger(Joanna)are good and beautiful as Bill and Ted's girlfriends. Amy Stoch(Missy),Hal Landon Jr.(Captain Logan)and Chelcie Ross(Colonial Oates)give good performances as well.The direction by Pete Hewitt is is terrific,with Hewitt bringing a nice visual stunning look to the film and always keeping the camera moving. Great direction,Hewitt.The score by David Newman is fantastic,epic,uplifting and mysterious going with the tone of the movie nicely. Amazing score,Newman. There is also a wonderful Heavy Metal/Hard Rock soundtrack including songs by Megadeth(Go To Hell)and Kiss(God Gave Rock N'Roll To You II).In final word,if you loved the first film,Comedies or SCI-FI,I highly suggest you see Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey,an excellent,hilarious underrated sequel that is worth your time. Highly Recommended. 10/10.

RustyShacklefordd On paper, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is a sequel that should work. The plot is not a complete retread of the first film and some of the script is actually pretty creative. Unfortunately, the film severely lacks in charm which is one of the main elements that made the first installment enjoyable.Reeve's and Winters do an excellent job of reprising their roles, but their dimwitted metalhead personalities become an over-reliant source for jokes which become more redundant than funny. On a side note, the addition of William Shatner as The Grim Reaper is a highlight of the film.Even though the film is attempting to actually be something different than the previous installment, it bites off way more than it can chew. A bunch of sci-fi elements are introduced including robots and part of the plot involves Bill & Ted dying and traveling to the afterlife. While it all should fit the absurd humor of the film, none of it flows together coherently and feels sloppy and scatterbrained. Their are a few funny bits scattered throughout, but a lot of it just dully drags along delivering little laughs. Bogus Journey had all the elements in place for it to be a good sequel, but it falls apart in it's execution losing it's charm and much of the humor along with it. It's not a terrible sequel, but one that's pretty forgettable and only worth watching if you are a hardcore fan of the first installment.

HelenMary Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a sweet, naïve (in a good way), funny and original. It's feelgood comedy. Bogus Journey takes the premise of the unlikely heroes to a whole WHOLE new level. Reeves and Preston are playing both themselves and their evil robot selves. It's more adult, not so family friendly as Excellent Adventure was, and whilst some of the SFX hold up, it hasn't stood the test of time quite as well. Preston and Reeves are funny though and again look like they're having a great deal of fun with the film, and play around a lot with the characters. Again, the princesses aren't particularly convincing, but Ted's father played by Hal Landon Jr and Death (William Sadler) are both great especially Captain Logan's impression of Ted. There's some great one-liners and memorable bits but generally I don't like this one as well and it's not as clever and the repeated lines mean that the script isn't so witty either. It's really a vehicle for Reeves as he's by far the highlight; him and Death! The music is good but on many levels, it's offensive in the guise of easy laughs.Watch the credits for the newspaper articles.
