Amiable slackers Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.

Critics Consensus

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey has the same stars -- and cheerfully wacky sense of humor -- as its predecessor, but they prove a far less effective combination the second time around.

A movie smart enough to revel in its own dumbness.

Once Bill and Ted get out of hell, though, their film loses it -- in more ways than one.

Reeves and Winter are clearly having a wonderful time. The enthusiasm is contagious.

2/4

William Sadler steals the film -- nay, the entire series -- with his hilarious turn as The Grim Reaper ... but aside from a few chuckles, the remainder is overstuffed and overindulgent.

It uses the Terminator franchise as a great jumping point for the shenanigans that create the momentum of the film, but it also tackles popular culture depictions of heaven and hell in counterintuitive ways that are not always played for laughs.

With its greater resources, the film enjoys more sets, more props, and more computer animation - none of which increases the quality or the entertainment value.

Bill and Ted are a surprisingly good team to use to tell a story about life, death and inevitability. Also, it is a delightful deconstruction/homage to Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal.”

A very funny sequel that keeps the humor fresh by going in a wildly different direction than the original. The movie has very creative set designs for both Heaven and Hell. The movie pays great homage to The Seventh Seal when they befriend the Grim Reaper and play Battleship with him. I love the disturbing looking robot faces of the replicas peeling their fake skin off. I can't believe that Missy divorced Bill's Dad and is now married Ted's Dad. The evil Bill & Ted robots are very funny either how affably & petty evil they are, like how casually they murder Bill and Ted. The set design of Hell is great and the personal fear torture chambers were hilariously creepy. Death is a very funny and likable character. The only downsides are that the princesses are just thankless damsels and prizes this time. Thankfully, the rest of the movie is great. The climax at the concert audition is a lot of fun, This is a very unique and creative sequel that's just as funny as the original.
