a fun movie, even if it's impossible to figure out

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2001)

Back To The Future II starts off a little slow. An opening trip to the future is somewhat lame, and seems like a bombardment of advertising (all sorts of brand names make their appearances in 2015 form). It gets better as it goes on, though, and really hits it stride when Marty and the Doc return to 1955. The movie can be impossible to figure out at times. With the heroes in 3 different eras, villains traveling back in time, and alternate universes and paradoxes being created, it's near-impossible to keep up. The movie tries hard to keep us in tune, though, offering up explainations in some form or another for everything that happens. It just ends up giving your brain more exercise than your average mindless adventure/comedy flick. Either way, most people should enjoy it.
