Some minor issues

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2020)

Overall a pretty good sequel to the first two films. The main reason that I'm not giving it a higher score is that the movie is a couple of minutes too long. The thing that happens at the very end kind of eliminates the emotional impact of the film, in my opinion. It is stated numerous times by Doc Brown that the time machine must be destroyed once they return to 1985, so when he shows up at the end it contradicts what he's been saying the whole movie about the problems you cause by messing with the timeline. Besides that, I think the relationship with Clara feels forced and unnecessary, and the 'wild west' setting is a little full on. Overall though it's definitely not a bad film. The story is fun and it has good dialogue and camera work. The writers did a good job mirroring the events of the first two movies without getting overly repetitive, even though I marathoned all three movies in a row (this being the first time I've watched the sequels).
