Awesome Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2010)

I know this may get a lot of flack, but I actually like this movie more than the first one. Now don't get me wrong, the first one is a BETTER FILM. It is objectively better than this movie, but man this one is just so much fun.
OK, yes, some of the special effects didn't age well, and some errors between this and the first film may exist. Plus why is the daughter played by Micheal J. Fox, wouldn't it make more sense to have the actress playing Jennifer play the daughter.
But man this movie is fun, it completely takes full advantage of the idea of time travel. Having alternate timelines, going both back and forward, and making the future, a future that isn't bleak and depressing. The future is just plain awesome, overblown in the way people dress, but awesome. The hoverboard chase scene in my opinion is even better than the skateboard chase in the first film. It has some pretty damn great effects for the time. I still can't believe that putting Micheal J. Fox as three people in the same shot was possible in 1989. It's still extremely funny, and I like how dark it gets in the second half.
Is the first film technically better, yes it is, but I enjoy this movie more, it takes full advantage of it's time travel premise, and is just a lot of fun.
