More Special Effects Make for a More Entertaining Sequel

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2008)

I actually liked this follow up to Robert Zemeckis's 1985 hit better than the original.
Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are back as time-traveling Marty McFly and his mad-scientist companion, but this time they bounce back and forth between past and present in a convoluted plot. Admittedly, the plot is more complicated than it needs to be, but because so much time is spent years into the future, the film provides more opportunities for nifty special effects.
The series would continue with one more sequel set in the wild west, which I have not seen.
Grade: B+
