Classic Friday : Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) 8/10

Starring : Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, William Sadler, Joss Ackland, Pam Grier, George Carlin
Director : Peter Hewitt
Running Time : 90 mins

The evil Chuck De Nomolos (Ackland) travels back in time from a utopian future to destroy Bill S Preston (Winter) and Ted Logan (Reeves) in order to create a future more to his liking. Having built two evil robot twins of our heroes, they set about murdering Bill and Ted and taking their place in order to lose at the pivotal Battle of the Bands, but the ghosts of Bill and Ted refuse to let a little thing like death stand in their way.

As far as sequels go, this pretty much took the concept from the original movie, took it to the next level and threw a big budget at it. This is just as good as the original movie, but in a different enough way to warrant it it’s own stand alone appreciation. Many people didn’t like this movie, but I thought it’s energy and love of all things fun and silly gave it the edge it needed to be really good.
