A bit lackluster

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2001)

Apparently time travel has become so mundane, so commonplace now for Marty McFly that it doesn't really even faze him that he has been sent back to the wild west. Fox looks bloated and bored in this one, and the story is obviously wearing thin. Also, Biff Tannen provided such a wonderful villian in the first two, why not try something new? Nope. Instead we have "Mad Dog" Tannen saying (from across the saloon) "Hey McFly!". Sorry, but what was fresh in the first one and somewhat fresh in the second is now stale here. That being said, there is still some fun to be had. The train sequence is Grrreat!!! Marty is peculiarly droll and mellow in this one (why?) but it works occasionally for some laughs ("Frisbee! Far out!"). The Doc love story is nice too. It's not awful, it's just ho hum-- kind of a fizzle-y way to end the series...or is it the end after all???
