My rating: 4 out of 5

This part is slightly weaker than the first two. While the first two parts were dealing more with the future, which is always more interesting to watch, this one was about the westernish past. And as much as I appreciate a joke or two about the old stuff, I still prefer my time travelling movies to deal with the future.

Nice film none-the-less and fits the series exactly as it should.

Back to the Future Part II

The television is getting better. Apparently they decided to show the complete trilogy – one part every day. Today they showed the second part – “Back to the Future Part II“.

This part is somewhat weaker than the first film, but it’s worth seeing anyway. Some of the ideas for the future were really cool – others sucked completely. 15 years later it’s easy to say though.

The atmosphere of the film follows the first part very closely and that’s what counts, isn’t it?

Strongly recommended too.
