Review of Back to the Future Part III (1990) by Jacob — 08 Aug 2015

Back to the Future Part III did not need to exist but it works well just the same. Not only does the film clean up the events of the previous film but it justifies it. While this is the same story as the first one what makes it work is the heart.

While the second film used time travel for the sake of action here it is used to explore the relationship between Marty and Doc and raise moral questions about destiny. It all ends in a sweet and satisfying ending, minus the bit at the very end, which I didn’t need.

In a world where sequels constantly tarnish the reputation of the franchise and undo a perfect ending its nice to see one that’s enjoyable. While the franchise works better with just one installment the third film nicely closes out the trilogy creating one of the better movie sequels released and creates a nice trilogy.
