First off - no I'm not a fanboy. I did watch this as a kid, but like many things seen at a young age I rediscovered this much later only to find there's really a legitimate quality to this film.Where the first one was very shallow and thin in content, this actually fills the runtime with a genuinely funny brand of humor, well in spirit of the Bill and Ted concept but not merely generic at that like the first did a lot of, and rather than just generous snort we're given proper chances to laugh it out loud. It's not just stupid, it's well-made stupid. Big difference.The story and execution are really quite a laudable quality of this movie and the film-makers really went through a lot, this isn't your average half-farted comedy sequel. At all. The scene in Hell, the personal nightmares, the earlier scenes with Death... the cinematography is actually enjoyable, not cheesy, and relevant/effective in the scope of creating a visually striking film, one than carves into the mind long term, and one that contributes directly to the overall cinematic ensemble. The pieces really fit, and the various different scenes/concepts feed right into the storyline. It's really a well made comedy.As with all strong efforts that fall short of that next step, it's a shame they didn't take this and say "well, let's make it into a full-on comedy masterpiece", as it really sincerely isn't that far from it. There's a bit of a lingering effect towards the last act, and the ending is cheesy as to be expected. If they could've filled it up with a couple more really good scenes/jokes, do up that final act a bit more and finish on something of a more memorable ending...8/10. 90's comedy (cult) classic.

The second but seemingly not the last entry in my second favourite time travel comedy film series, this is a most non-heinous sequel. It is not on quite the same level as the first film but the script by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon is nevertheless very funny and it is well directed by Peter Hewitt in his feature film debut. The second half is generally stronger than the first. I loved many of the designs in the film such as the Devil, Station (the two little ones more so than the one big one), the Easter Bunny, the Good Robot Usses, Heaven (clearly inspired by "A Matter of Life and Death") and Hell. The film's original title was "Bill & Ted Go to Hell" but it was changed at the insistence of the studio because of the (over)sensitivity concerning the use of the word "hell." However, I think that they made the right decision for the wrong reason as the film's actual title is catchier and more descriptive. Besides which, I don't think that they spend enough time in Hell to justify the original title.Five years (relatively speaking) after their jaunt through time to pass history, the lovable metalheads Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan have moved away from home and are gainfully employed at Pretzels and Cheese but their band Wyld Stallyns has yet to become to the musical force that will bring the world into perfect harmony. That said, they are poised for fame as they hired to play at the 4th Annual San Dimas Battle of the Bands. However, things are afoot in the future. In 2691, the decidedly fascist ex- gym teacher - is there any other kind? - De Nomolos has built evil robot versions of Bill and Ted and sends them back in time to the late 20th Century to kill our heroes. They are most triumphant in their mission and the dearly departed Bill and Ted spend some time as ghosts before being exorcised straight to Hell by Missy, the former's ex-stepmother and the latter's new stepmother. The boys must make their way through the afterlife and back to the temporal plane in order to prevent their fiancées - the Princess Babes Joanna and Elizabeth from Medieval England, which isn't really in Iowa - from being killed. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves are once again very entertaining as Bill and Ted. They also get some great material as the Evil Robot Usses who, since they have much the same personalities as the original versions, are oddly likable as murderous robots from the future go. While I was watching the film, it occurred to me that Evil Robot Usses would be a great name for a band. Someone obviously agreed with me as there is already a band with that every name on Facebook. Winter also plays Hell's manifestation of Bill's rather frightening looking grandmother Granny S. Preston, Esq.William Sadler is hilarious as the put-upon Death, who is astonished when he loses to the duo in a game for their immortal souls. Losing to Bill and Ted can't have done much for his self-esteem. Although he is initially not too pleased at the thought of being their lackey, he gradually grows rather fond of them and willingly helps them in their mission to defeat the Evil Robot Usses. Not many people can say that they have literally laughed in the face of Death but Bill and Ted do it several times. That's certainly something to boast about! One of my favourite little moments is when Death apologises to God for inflicting Bill and Ted on him. One would think that God would be a little aggrieved that they mugged three people in Heaven itself but he seems pretty cool with it, actually. Sadler also has a cameo as the Englishman who is seen watching Wyld Stallyn's first TV appearance with his wife and daughter, played by his actual wife and daughter. Joss Ackland, who later admitted that he thought the film was pretty rubbish, is good as the vaguely German-accented De Nomolos but he has barely ten minutes screen time even though he is technically the main villain. Still, he has more than George Carlin, who appears in a mere two scenes as Rufus but is nevertheless great in the role. Pam Grier has a fun cameo as Ms. Wardroe. The film also features nice appearances from Hal Lindon, Jr. as Captain Theodore Logan and Amy Stock-Poynton as Missy and makes excellent use of the considerable vocal talents of Frank Welker as the Devil, Station and the Easter Bunny. However, I have always thought that Matheson and Solomon missed a trick in the Heaven scenes in not briefly reuniting Bill and Ted with one of the personages of historical significance from the first film such as Socrates, Lincoln or Joan of Arc. The film's original ending, which was unfortunately not used, would have featured De Nomolos spending eternity in Hell with the Evil Robot Usses, whom he despises as he did too good a job in recreating Bill and Ted's personalities.Overall, this is a very enjoyable sequel. I am really looking forward to the recently (re-)announced "Bill & Ted 3", which has been in development hell for five or six years now but will hopefully see the light of day in 2017/8.

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?

All of the charm (and most of the humor) of the original seems to heave been sucked right out of "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey". It's nowhere near as funny and tends to drag in places as a result. Really, the reason to watch this is William Sadler as Death. The entire sequence with Bill & Ted challenging him to various board games is the movie's best part, and he's still a bright spot as he tags along through the rest of the story. Still can't believe that's the bad guy from "Die Hard 2". In any case, it's a textbook case of one actor stealing the whole show.5/10
