Bogus
4/09: I feel like I lost a million of brain cells after watching Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.

It's so bad that I want to punch Alex Winter in the face. Some scenes are nauseous and should thus be classified as vomit-inducers. Honestly, I fell asleep six times during the film because my eyes wouldn't stay awake for longer than ten minutes. There's a plot? Forget it; it's either absent or brain-dead.

All in all, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is one of the worst movies I've seen.

1/20: Raising my rating from '1' to '3', Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is still a terrible movie.

Here's what I don't get: if one can travel to any point of time, then why not just kill Bill and Ted when they were babies or their mothers before they were born? If not, they can time travel a bit back. Then, we'll have a series of time travels ad infinitum for the sake of preserving or altering history.

During the Battle of Bands near the end, Bill and Ted thought of what they needed to do to counteract De Nomolos, but how can that be if they didn't have their own phone booth? By the way, why does De Nomolos show up in class at Bill & Ted University to explain his plan when he should've kept it a secret? These are some of the instances that have plagued the overdone, brain-dead plot.

The dialogue is painful to listen to although the acting isn't problem. It's fun to see William Sadler as the Grim Reaper. By the way, I've never heard of the rock band named Faith No More or the home improvement chain Builders Emporium which went out of business two years after the film's release.

All in all, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a bad sequel.
