Amiable slackers Bill and Ted are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when De Nomolos, a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.
Honestly not as good as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, but still fun nonetheless.
(only now just realizing i never wrote a review of excellent adventure oh well)
I love Death. Honestly, he’s a funny character here and I like how overly serious he is.
I also like the costume swap when Bill & Ted are dead— the touch of their clothes going monochrome is awesome and I like that it’s a practical effect. It’s such a little thing but I like it.
Only thing I don’t like is the use of “fag” (insult). First the evil ones say it and then actual Ted says it and I just don’t like that. 90s, yall.
Overall it’s a fun romp, less time travel shenanigans but more afterlife fun. Almost as quotable as Excellent Adventure.
