Thoughts
Well first off it was nowhere near as bad as the Bogus journey, so that’s a good start. It was watchable and overall entertaining but I can’t say that it was actually very good. To be honest, the best bits were the bits that Bill & Ted weren’t in, which isn’t ideal. Dennis the Robot took over the spot from Death - stealing every scene he was in. And it was fun for the wives and daughters to have a good story to go alongside the main antics.
But hopefully it’s done now, yes? We don’t need any more Bill & Ted.
