Review of Back to the Future Part II (1989) by Lucas F — 05 Jan 2016
Part 2 was the first BTTF film I saw and used to consider it my favorite one. Unfortunately, The October 21st screening I attended made me realize just how underwhelming it is compared to the first BTTF and even the third film. It's not a bad movie, it just has a lot of issues with it.
Cons: Marty acts like a total butthead, George McFly is non existent, a tad too many callbacks to the first movie, and there's a lot of inconsistencies with its time travel-esque plot which seriously affects the movie seeing how time travel is the whole focus of the series.
Pros: The set design in the "future" looks nice along with many other environments in the movie, Biff is a great villain, Alan Silvestri's film score is still great, and I LOVE the movie's ending.
In the end: Weak sequel. Great ending. But Part III is better.
