Back To The Future - Part 2 (DVD)

Back to the Future Part II is an excellent follow up to the original. It was made in 1989, 4 years after the first one. It has lots of interesting concepts. Is it better than the first one? Read on... --- the BASICS --- Back to the Future Part II is a science fiction film about time travelling, starring Michael Fox and Christopher Lloyd as the 2 main lead characters and directed by Robert Zemeckis. The first film was about the invention of the time machine and Marty travelling by mistake to the year 1955 changing history. --- the PLOT --- Everything turned out well after Marty's little adventure in 1955 - his father can now ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The first Back to the Future film opened to wide acclaim and is largely considered a classic of the adventure and science fiction genres. The sequel, whilst perhaps not quite reaching those dizzying heights, is still a great film on its own merits. It continues where the original film left off, with "Doc" Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd) returning and declaring to Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his girlfriend Jennifer (who has been recast as Elizabeth Shue for some reason) that they have to come with him to the future to prevent a fate where the entire McFly legacy is destroyed.

It's clear that Back to the Future was not made with its two sequels fully-formed in Zemeckis and Spielbergs' heads. The start of Back to the Future 2 reprises the end of the first film, except Doc Brown now hesitates a lot longer before saying that Marty and Jennifer will turn out fine.

The stakes are raised in this second episode. From the original romantic comedy with a science-fiction spin, we now launch into a full-blown time ...  Read the complete review

After the huge success of the first film, the second film had a lot to live up to, and it didn't fail to deliver. The second part of possibly the greatest trilogy ever made (sorry, i'm not really a big star wars/LOTR fan) continues from where the first film finished. After being dropped off at his house back in the eighties, the Doc (Christpoher Lloyd) appears in front of Marty again, but this time with some sinister news. He has to take Marty and Jennifer (Marty's girlfriend) to the future because their kids are in trouble. Marty's son gets arrested, tried and convicted within an hour of him breaking the law (the way it's done in the future), so the idea is ...  Read the complete review

After the huge success of it's predecessor, Back To The Future part 1, the second part of this trilogy had a lot to live up to. Thankfully, it manages to deliver and please audiences just as much as the film that started it all. Part two continues to follow the protaganists Marty McFly and his time travelling eccentric scientist buddy from 1955 to 2015, in their now flying time travelling DeLorean. Now joined by Marty's girlfriend Jennifer, the trio are this time aiming to solve the crisis involving Marty and Jennifer's future children. Of course, like the first film, nothing is plain-sailing. The trio find themselves under several predicaments, such as ...  Read the complete review
