Lots of Fun

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2015)

Back to the Future Part 2 is once again directed by Robert Zemeckis, this time Marty and Doc go to 2015 and then have to go back to 1955 in a story that is pretty much a huge homage to fans of the first film.
Don't get me wrong, I love Back to the Future Part II, as a matter of fact, right next to the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones movies, the Back to the Future films pretty much shaped my childhood. When I was a kid this was actually my favorite of the series. The whole concept of the future back then is pretty cool. As a second part of a 3 act structure, the film is the darkest one in the series by far, but it's also a lot of fun.
The main problem I have with this sequel (and probably the only problem I have with it) is that most of the film is pretty much a homage to the original film. I mean sure, they go to the future and the past and some things that happen are pretty cool, but the people who love this movie is because it's basically the same plot of the first film shown again from a different perspective. A lot of things are just done as a homage to the first film. For example: the Cafe 80's sequence and the entire time they're in 1955.
Although I acknowledge it has its problems, Back to the Future Part 2 is a great movie, lots of fun and definitely recommend it.
