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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 2, 2022

Having an actual bad guy changes the dynamic to something less fun and more serious... but the inclusion of Death as a wild card provides a new too-serious foil for Bill and Ted to happily torment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 1, 2020

An extraordinary grab bag of conceits and jokes, unified only in that Winters and Reeves treat everything with the same effortless merriment and slacker philosophy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2020

Wacky and weird and nonsensical, it's hardly satire but the sheer invention of their ludicrous journey will have most dudes rolling on the floor.

[UPDATED 2024 4K + BLU-RAY REVIEW] 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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 2, 2016

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2016

It is Sadler, as Death, who makes this film the partial pleasure it is.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2016

Sorry, dudes: This is a totally bogus sequel.

| Jul 29, 2016

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2016

In Bill & Ted`s Bogus Journey, the laugh is on moviegoers. Teens may call it triumphant, but most folks will find the insipid film a totally non-non-non- non-heinous (i.e. egregiously bad) trip to nowhere... and beyond.

| Jul 29, 2016

It's playful, funny and finishes far too quickly.

| Jul 29, 2016

In almost every respect, Bogus Journey is better than the original: more imaginative, more opulent, wilder and freer, more excitingly visualized.

| Jul 29, 2016

High-tech special effects come to the rescue of the party dudes in this uneven sequel that has some big laughs and plenty of repetitive jokes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2016

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey goes awry, however, in seeking to entertain two different audiences -- fans of Excellent Adventure and the children who have become fond of the 온라인카지노추천 cartoon based on the successful 1989 original.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2016

All things considered, I would rather play Twister.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 29, 2016

Bill and Ted have a guileless, immediate way of dealing with the world that makes them both very likeable and highly entertaining to watch.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2016

Perhaps even smarter than the original as it expands the potential for the surreal and ties up all the loose ends, managing, quite remarkably, to give its own pointlessness a purpose.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2016

The new movie, which is about how the scruffy pair save the world (or something), sends them to heaven and hell and everywhere in between. The sets are impressive, but the joke has worn perilously thin.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011

An anarchic motion picture, but reveals triumphant originality -- a sublime daredevil of a film that authentically assumes a great deal of risk. Not many sequels can lay claim to that.

| Original Score: A | Jul 20, 2011
