A nice ending

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2007)

In the third installment of the series, we discover that Doc is alive in the past and Marty goes back to the beginning of his home town, only to find that Doc may be murdered in the past. This one is not as brilliant as the first two, but to its credit it is a nice end to the series, and in fact was scripted and shot with the second installment. I liked the set, which shows how the town has changed without changing - by the clever use of the layout of the set, as well as some jokes that have now become a classic - in particular the reference to Clint Eastwood.
Although this film is not as good as the first one, it is a must watch as it closes the series and although the end is a bit wacky (were they opening the way for a fourth installment?) it is clear that should Michael J Fox be in a position to deliver a fourth installment today "for the sake of cash", the audience would follow. Kids will enjoy this third part more than once. Grown ups once only.
