Totally Bogus: Peter Hewitt’s ‘BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY’ (1991) – Retro Review

Before we get into this, I just want to say that the movie came to me in one of the worst times of my life. I suffered a lot at this age; I had to grow up quickly, and it wasn’t very fun. However, here comes the good part. Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey was an instant love because I saw the film over and over that Summer. I wanted to be just like them, so at 12 years old, I invented the person I wanted to be.  30 years later, I am still doing the same thing while all my friends have stuffy and anxiety-inducing offices, and the others are probably in jail.

And on that note, let’s get into the review.

Synopsis

When Ted and Bill realize they are being forced into life positons. HHowever, the robots win and take over their lives to whre the will lose anything.

Totally Evil

Totally Bogus

Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey has a history with me. The film alone stands out, and so do the good nuances. It was Breakfast Club, except that instead of giving up, the evil Bill and Ted had success; then the movie really flies off the handle with Bill and Ted fighting for their lives. This is where the amazing scenery and futuristic world with a CGI upgrade, while at the same time, the setting for the reaper could not have been delivered more amazingly, coexisted perfectly, like bein ina radical band. Your quick hat in the movies.

Another great effect is keeping hold of a new world with the same old setting and a few more friends. In the first film, there should have been a little society which was named in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, which used the “Blue horror” for the importance of the scene, built to make you read, and this part scared the crap out of me. At that point like how it was to be dead. We can also thank them all for oversized Ugg boots. That was funny enough until the bright idea of Station’s god company, they also dragged along the grim reaper.

I also realize they could make him much less terrifying by looking at him. I can honestly say he nailed the role. Because there is so much to unpack with all the different storytelling add-ins. Especially the long hallway; I can also say I was creeped out completely. Though our heroes survived beyond expectations, sometimes you just didn’t know who would wait, sometimes rooting for the villain, another part is that monsters need love too, yeah, I said it. Just clearing the air before we go.

In The End

In the end, I could watch the movie several times a month; sometimes it just brings back good memories, and for that one moment, there is a breath of fresh air. Then there was celebration throughout the entire universe; from millions of miles away, they praised their name forever. Honestly, that part where a guy punches out emotion, I mean, happy thoughts. Maybe it will happen to you too.
