Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Perfect cast and a good story
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Sure, it's not as good as Excellent Adventure, but this sequel is still highly entertaining. Plus, the film's take on death and the afterlife is as interesting and original as it is hilarious. Station!!
So, of course this is just my opinion, but what made the original Bill and Ted really funny was the interaction of historical characters with present day life. That was pretty much the original premise too, being that they had to come up with a history project on how a historical figure would view society as a whole today! In this movie, they basically threw that out. I was excited when they introduced people like Edison and Bach in the beginning, but you never really interact with them or really anyone else. Instead of the fun and quirky historical characters, Bill and Ted interact with people like the Grim Reaper, two weird aliens, nightmare-inducing robots, The Devil, and even God. I was sadly laughing in my head just marveling that this was the direction they chose to go. I mean seriously? Also the ending seemed to stretch for awhile but I get that they wanted to kind of rap up the series.The movie does have some pro's though and some jokes are definitely hilarious. Bill and Ted are still Bill and Ted and both actors perform brilliantly. And it's a good movie for any Bill and Ted fans... But I just felt that this direction for a sequel seemed very... off from the original.That being said, it would be really fun to revisit the two again nowadays and see them interact with some other historical figures. I'd totally be down to see that.
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.
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?
