Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

Dudes and Dudettes Bill S. Preston Esq. and Theodore “Ted” Logan are back for more. Now the Wyld Stallyns have entered a San Dimas battle of the bands.  Chuck De Nomolos a man from the future who hates Bill and Ted’s music steals a time machine and brings back two robots that look exactly like Bill and Ted. These two evil robots go out and kill the real Bill and Ted. Face to face with Death himself who challenges them to a game which they win. Bill and Ted try to speak in their ethereal form but it is difficult and what makes it worse is Bill’s stepmom Missy says a séance that sends the boys down to hell. Now facing Satan both must face their fears and try to get back to the mortal world, and win the battle of the bands the future depends on it. 


The Sequel to “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” didn’t fare as well as its predecessor did. This movie had the rocker feel but it just couldn’t hold up to the expectation that we all wanted from it. No real memorable lines and the real only great scenes are with death. The plot was nothing new try to stick together to make music that makes world peace.

Good:
-Scenes with Death are great
-Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter remain great wannabe rockers

Bad:
-Lackluster plot
-Nothing new from the first film
-Didn’t’ live up to the hype
-No memorable lines

Scully Rating: 4 out of 10
