Wayne's World heroes Wayne and Garth may have won at the box office, but Bill and Ted remain the original and best dudes. This time around the two airheads (played with enormous energy by Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are still trying to get their band together when they are murdered by their robotic doppelgängers sent from the future by the evil Joss Ackland. They must then face the Grim Reaper if they are to become the saviours of mankind. This sequel lacks the inspired stupidity of the first, but it is still a hoot, especially in the knowing nods to Ingmar Bergman's classic The Seventh Seal as the gormless duo play battleships with the Reaper. Reeves and Winter are once again cheerfully inept, and British director Peter Hewitt stages the spectacular set pieces with some panache. Mostly excellent.

A sequel that, like the original, has attracted a cult following, though the joke, depending on the slang spoken by its dim heroes, remains a thin one.

I absolutely adore this film. It's suprisingly intelligent for a film about a pair of idiots, has some superb one-liners, and the nods in the direction of great works of rock, Star Trek and Ingmar Bergman are wonderfully entertaining (playing Twister with the Grim Reaper - genius). The storyline isn't desperately interesting on the face of it - Bill and Ted are killed by robot versions of themselves and have to get back and rescue the Princesses - but it's full of unexpected twists and turns. Well directed, excellently imaginative script, great acting, and I'll probably never get bored of it! Don't fear the reaper...

Bill and Teds Rather Average Sequel
While i enjoyed the first film all of the way through the sequel is a dissapointment. The plot doesnt seem to have alot to it. The quality isnt the same as the first film and while it has its moments its just a rather average sequel. My view is that sequels are never as good as the original, yet I will admit there are some that do not stick to this rule. This film, it saddens me to say, is not one of them.

Ingmar Bergman, 1918-2007
- 31 Jul 2007
See the entire LOVEFiLM Bergman Collection here Checkmate. Death has finally taken the great Swedish master, Ingmar Bergman, as he always knew it must. No filmmaker wrestled longer and more painfully with the knowledge of his own mortality. His father was a severe Lutheran minister, and a figure who cast a long shadow over Bergman's films, including his premature swansong, Fanny and Alexander (1982), and perhaps his purest masterpiece, Winter Light (1962), a portrait of a pastor who has lost...
