My favourite among the three

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2004)

At the end of 'Back to the Future Part II', Dr Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) are ready to go back to 1985, but the time machine is struck by lightning and Doc just disappears with the DeLorean. Instantly, Marty receives a letter from the West Union, which was written by Doc seventy years ago, instructing Marty where to find the hidden time machine in order to get himself back to 1985, with the Doc in 1955's help and that the time machine must be destroyed after Marty gets back to his time, so time travel will not cause any trouble again. But soon, Marty finds a grave of Doc's and is determined to save his life. So Marty goes back to 1885 and meets his ancestors.
Doc lives contently as a scientist who disguises himself as an ironmongery shop owner. And he falls in love with Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen), a new school teacher. He is completely besotted by her. But his death is approaching- he's to be shot dead by 'Mad Dog' Tannen (Thomas F Wilson), the ancestor of Biff Tannen (also Thomas F Wilson). Now Marty must save Doc from being murdered and meanwhile he puts his own life in danger by once again succumbing to his weakness- he simply cannot stand being called a 'coward'.
After considering the pros and cons, Doc decides to go back to 1985 with Marty and he confesses the truth to Clara, but of course she doesn't believe a word he's said. Heartbroken, Doc is ready to leave with Marty. However, when Clara discovers that Doc has told her the truth, she chases him while Doc and Marty are pushing the time machine with a specially-equipped train...now Doc must choose between going back to his time, or staying with Clara...
I love the Wild West scenes, the party and all that...and Doc is in love! Such wonder and magic! The ending is so sweet. This is a perfect ending of the trilogy and the final message is very positive and encouraging- the future can be changed!!! I consider this movie a very imaginative one. Watch the trilogy consecutively, and if you're a time travel fan, you won't be disappointed! 9/10
