Davis P Bill and Teds Bogus Journey is a disappointment on many levels. This is of course a sequel to Bill and Teds excellent adventure, released in 1989. This sequel is just very weak throughout. The stars are Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and William Sadler. Reeves and Winter are the same brain numbingly dumb teenage surfer dudes that get involved in a crazy adventure. I will say that Reeves and Winter at least play their parts how they're supposed to be played. The movie tries hard to be humorous, but it doesn't succeed at all. If I'm being honest, the only thing I ever laughed at during this entire film was how poorly made it was. The movie has a very clichéd formula, not too impressive acting, bad attempts at humor, and not that exciting action. Also something that got under my skin was the use of f*g in the film, so not only is this movie a poorly made one, but it's also offensive and not inclusive. The only reason I'm giving this film a 2 instead of a 1 is because of some of the visuals that were kinda well done. 2/10 for Bill and Teds Bogus Journey.

Leofwine_draca I'm not really a fan of slacker movies and I absolutely despise the two WAYNE'S WORLD movies that came later, but something about the two BILL & TED movies is inherently likable. It may be the dumb characters, so relentlessly dumb but chirpy with it that they're impossible to dislike. Or it may be the fact that the humour, although dumb, is never mean-spirited or unpleasant; there's something delightfully old-fashioned about it which harks back to the slapstick comedy of years gone by.BOGUS JOURNEY is a slightly inferior film when compared to EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, which was fresher and more funny with all of the historical figures. The central joke about the dumbness of the characters is beginning to wear a bit thin, although Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves certainly do their best and bring plenty of energy to the material. At some points BOGUS JOURNEY feels like a near plot less adventure, taking the characters through various points in the afterlife. The varied special effects are dated but fun, and the set design is excellent. I love wacky stuff so a lot of this film appealed.The best thing in the film is William Sadler, playing the Grim Reaper in a delightful homage to THE SEVENTH SEAL. Sadler, one of cinema's most underrated stars, is excellent when given the chance to do something other than play the stock villain in an action movie - although he's very good at doing that too, as anyone who has seen DIE HARD 2 will be sure to admit. I loved him to bits here and his deadpan, naive humour is great stuff. The challenge scene is a highlight, inevitably, but Sadler remains strong throughout. The music-infused climax is well-handled too, and those homemade robot clones are brilliantly designed.

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.

Shopaholic35 Oddly Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is just as good as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. They're both truly ridiculous with the occasional classic scene and laugh. I really wanted to enjoy these movies but I think I waited too long. There have been so many developments in film that it is hard to think these movies are the work of a "genius". I am only quoting other reviewers.I think I like this storyline a little more than the first but they seem even dumber this time around. Kind of reminds me of Dumb & Dumber. And personally I just don't think this movie genre was made for me. I in no way only watch intellectual films because I love turning off my brain for animated movies and comedies for example but I just don't enjoy lowering my brain down to the level of a pot-smoking monkey. And even that makes me think I just insulted many monkey's on the planet.
