Fox) who travels into the past and has to bring his parents together (or lose his own existence). Director Robert Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication to this follow-up, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Fox's character watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - THE MOST EPISODE COMPLEX OF THE TRILOGYIN A NUTSHELL: DOES WHAT A TIME TRAVEL MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO DO! This sequel of the superb "Back To The Future" is a very earnest attempt to follow a winning formula up with a truly worthwhile effort in this sequel. Complex, yes, but interesting. Unfortunately, at times it gets a bit too mechanically contrived with the time sequence derivations, and I find myself mentally checking the continuity which detracts from the theme. Nevertheless, if you liked the first "Back To The Future" you ...

The Rock N Roll connection shouldn't faze fans of the genre since Michael A. Fox (cousin of Andy, who played on Thunder And Fire)[Michael's real name, above, too] and Fox, who was a big fan of Cheap Trick's "always on MTV" stuff of that period, had a Van Halen solo in the cassette in the "Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan" ...

The one who helps the other you get back to 1985. Remember the event at the clock tower?" "Yeah!" "That event doesn't happen until tonight. So you must be careful no to run into your otherself." - Doc Brown, of 1985, gives Marty McFly a severe headache in the ways of physical time travel in "Back To The Future Part II" The time travel adventures (or is ... Read More Rating: - Great sequel, great trilogyI just wanted to say that I grew up watching the Back to the Future trilogy and will be the first to say that these movies are absolutely brilliant. If you don't own these movies, own them. They should grace every homes movie collection. They are good on so many levels. The great thing is, the older I get, and the more I watch them, the more I catch that is interesting or funny...it just keeps getting better. These movies are so quotable, my whole family is always dropping lines from these movies ... Read More Rating: - Why Was This The Best Science Fiction Movie Ever Made?Well, there are five reasons. The first four are found in the review of the DVD set of all five; here is the last one: 5. Gestalt. Call it what you want, but consider the conceptual continuity of these three movies. 1985 remained the "present" for all the films, right? Even this one and BTTF3, made some years later, preserved 1985 as the fulcrum year. Quick quiz: of all the eras depicted, which one was the best: 1885, 1955, 1985 or 2015? Tough question, given that there were ... Read More |
