Back to the Future vs Star Wars

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2005)

I really enjoyed Back to the Future Part I, but after watching Part II for 30 minutes I could see that it didn't match the success of its predecessor. Repetition was rife and one of the characters (Jennifer) was put to sleep early on, which was surely a sign of a plot lacking direction. After a while all the coming and going through time became quite convoluted. The "too be concluded..." ending to Part II was also disappointing. Don't think I'll bother watching Part III...
I read a review a while ago suggesting that the Back to the Future trilogy was better than the Star Wars trilogy. I have to say, on the basis of what I've seen, I don't agree. Star Wars was an altogether more mature and meaningful movie experience. Back to the Future is just good fun.
