Gives the word "dumb" a whole new meaning.

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2003)

Now, granted, I did not entirely hate this movie, unlike the family members that I viewed the film with. I thought that the whole story was way too far fetched and unrealistic and was in the end, just downright dumb. Trying to live up to the original BACK TO THE FUTURE, this film just does not do its predecessors justice. It starts out confusing, but then things start to clear up, and then they get all confusing again.
There are many small elements of this film that are really just smaller plots fixed into the big one. They add to the confusion. I must say that this was really not what I was expecting.
The whole western thing was okay, because the sets were very well done, and the costumes were pretty good too. The acting was cheesy as always, and of course no one dies in this film, so that just adds to the stupid "kid movie" feel of it all. The ending was what was most dumb of all. It makes absolutey no sense, and is basically in the movie just to confuse you even more. The writers couldn't just leave the story as it was. They couldn't have anyone die. And, they couldn't come up with a story that wouldn't confuse the s*** out of people. This third installment is purely and simply the worst of the series, but it is still something that fans of the first two films must see.
BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III gets 2/5.
