A fitting middle episode

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2005)

Back to the Future II isn't as good as the other two, but it is a necessary middle act that bridges Parts I and III. The best part, the part that I grew up with is the 2015 sequence, when Marty uses the hover board. And it was really fun when there were two Marty's and two Doc Brown's in 1955 and how they happen to run into each other. Alan Silvestri's music for this film is pretty much what it was from the first film (a fitting continuation of the first film if not inspired - wait until Part III for Silvestri's best score of the trilogy!) I really again enjoyed the performances of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, their on-screen interactions are stuff legends are made of. Even though I consider Part II the weakest in this trilogy, it's still a worthy entry, worth an 8 out of 10. Enjoy!
