Disappointing Sequel That Confuses More Than Entertains

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2000)

"Back to the Future II" is a jumping-jack of a movie that becomes too smart for its own good real fast. Fox and Lloyd are now in 1985, but jump to 2015. Then they jump back to 1985 and then to 1955. All this mayhem is somewhat intriguing and fun, but becomes a bit tedious and turns into an endurance test rather than a movie experience. The screenplay and direction are fair at best and this detracts from the performances of the likeable cast. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
