Let's Go Back to the Previous Two and Avoid This One.

Rating: 2/10 (19 June 2015)

Back to the Future, Part 3 (1990): Dir: Robert Zemeckis / Cast: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenbergen, Thomas F. Wilson, Elisabeth Shue: After two imaginative installments in the franchise they now lower themselves with this unoriginal take on a plot. Weakest entry picking up the cliffhanger of part 2. Marty McFly is stranded in 1955 and he must locate Doc Brown in 1885 old west and save Doc's life. Predictable storytelling with a pathetic manure joke that is getting too old. In fact everything about this film lacks the creative impulses of the first two films. Directed by Robert Zemeckis who is aided by great production values, which is the one element that still works here. Zemeckis previously made the first two films in the series as well as Romancing the Stone. Michael J. Fox once again portrays McFly who wanders into the old west brandishing the name Clint Eastwood. Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown is pretty much following the motions. Thomas F. Wilson isn't as interesting as he was in part 2 where he appears at two different ages and is involved in much better plotting. Mary Steenburgen joins the cast as Doc's love interest and that is about the height of her involvement. Elisabeth Shue again plays McFly's girlfriend although now she seems reciting. Disappointing and unoriginal worthy of the "off" button on the remote control. Score: 2 / 10
