Good, fun movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2016)

Good, fun movie. Original plot, solidly directed. Good special effects, especially for 1985.
The movie made Michael J Fox's career, and it is not difficult to see why. He gives a clever, energetic performance as Marty McFly. However, he is almost upstaged by a superb over-the-top performance by Christopher Lloyd.
Good support from Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson.
A pity that the producers felt the need to make a sequel, and then another. Neither came anywhere near the tight, original plot of the first, and just seemed like retreads. The third movie was particularly pointless.
