A flawed but uniquely interesting sequel

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2020)

There's no doubt that Back To The Future II is a bit of a mess. The script was far too ambitious and falls apart constantly with endless logistical errors and implausible plot leaps.
Despite this, the film is still very enjoyable and unlike any other in its genre. The scenes where Marty returns to 1955 and encounters parts of the original story (including himself) are incredibly creative and great fun to watch.
The make-up is somewhat disappointing and Thomas Wilson probably deserved better than to be turned into a bizarre waxwork. Everyone still looks great in 1955 but the 2015 characters are a bit far-fetched and ridiculous, particularly with Michael J Fox playing his entire family.
Nevertheless, I have watched this move countless times and never get bored with it. If nothing else, it nicely bridges the gap to the finale and allows us all to be disappointed that we STILL don't have hoverboards.
