A poor cousin to the first two movies

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2010)

I just watched all three tonight after having not seen them for many years and am old enough to remember seeing 2 & 3 at the cinema.
Two held up okay but in some parts became a spoof of itself but was so dense with plot, settings and gags it didn't matter.
III on the other hand comes across as the poorest section of the trilogy by a good margin.
The first act is quite dull consisting mainly of Doc and Marty recapping the last film, figuring out what to do and getting huge chunks of exposition out of the way. Interspersed with occasional cheap gags to keep the thing from going dead. Magnifying glass over mouth, dog with a helmet, getting peed on by a baby, stepping into poop, doing a moonwalk, spilling a bucket full of spit down Buford, etc etc.
The film feels empty for much of this and the plot only moves on a bit after about the 25 minute mark when he meets up with the Doc but then it still ends up feeling like a 2nd-rate western featuring the guys from BTTF rehashing scenes of the past & turns it into a sketch show. Also worst line "Frisbee! Far Out!" The final act is where the film finally picks up some momentum that carries it through to it's (Spoilers)full happy endings for everyone conclusion.
In the end all III did for the most part was (Spoilers)to provide long-time bachelor Doc Brown with a Mrs for a happy ending.
It just can't hold a candle to the other two.
