It was better than the first.That's all I got to say.

"Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown" (Christopher Lloyd) arrives from the future seconds after coming back from the past to find "Marty McFly" (Michael J. Fox) and his girlfriend "Jennifer Parker" (Elisabeth Shue, who has taken over the role from Claudia Wells starting in this movie). "Brown" informs them that there is a problem with their children in the future, and insists that they come with him.

In the future, after "Doc" renders "Jennifer" unconscience when she begins to ask way too many questions in the excitement of being in the future, "Doc" and "Marty" find "Marty Jr." (Fox), who is a complete nerd, being harassed by "Griff Tannen" (Thomas F. Wilson), the future grandson of "Biff Tannen" (Wilson), who is the high school archrival of "Marty's" father, "George" (Jeffrey Weissman and, in footage from the original movie to show the original actor's face, Crispin Glover). After "Marty" helps his nerdy, but look-alike son, with "Griff" and his gang, he comes across an antiques store and purchases a magazine that lists sports results from 1950 to 2000.

Eventually, the future version of "Biff" gets his hand on the magazine and steals the magazine, and steals the DeLorean time machine to go back to visit his younger self in 1955.

Now, "Doc" and "Marty" have to go back to 1955 again, get the magazine and avoid their other selves that are already there (from the first movie).

This is one of the most original sequels ever made, as it perfectly inserts many scenes from the original -- many of which were reshot at different angles. It is also one of the few where multiple actors are playing more than one character, even if the character is the same person. You get to see many versions of the same person in other words.

The performances are pretty fun, especially when the movie is in the scenes set in the future. Not only are we introduced to new characters, we see the same actors playing these comical characters -- especially Fox, who plays two characters in the future -- "Marty Jr." and his sister, "Marlene" (who gets very little screen time compared to "Marty Jr.). It must have been difficult for the cast to create variations of the character they originated in the first movie.

The special effects in this film are not very original, but still hold up for the most part. While watching, I only saw a few instances where the special effects have weaken over the years, and it was obvious that they were inserted during post-production.

I was pretty disappointed in the future "Hill Valley" for the most part. None of the vehicles looked authentic to me, and the clothing was fairly laughable with the choice of colors and design. There was some originality in the future -- the "Jaws 19" marquee, the self-tying sneakers (with light-up Nike logos) and the famed "Mattel Hoverboard."

The comedy is only worth some chuckles through out the entire movie. Some jokes are just rehash from the previous film, and are not set up well to the point that you don't expect it. However, at least one scene in the future is a nice rework of one of the more memorable scenes of the first movie.

Make-up effects are not up to par in this movie. You get simple make-up effects to only fairly elaborate make-up effects. The "aged" effects are not good in my opinion. It is obvious that the future version of "Biff". as well as the future version of "Jennifer's" cleavage, are prostetics (especially the cleavage, which looks more like rubber more than it does skin). Some performers even looked as if they had obvious hair dye jobs, instead of wigs.

A lot of the music came from the original movie, with some new songs add in. I think only one song was used really well to set the tone of the scene, the rest were just there if you ask me.

One thing that worked well, although it was a bit odd, was the scenes from the original movie reshot from the point of view of "Marty" and "Doc." If you notice, "Marty's" father, "George" is seen not looking at the camera, or his face is blurry due to being in the background of the scene where the pricipal characters are being shot. You are seeing a different actor in the role since Crispin Glover did not sign on to be in this movie, but you hear his voice from clips taken from the first movie.

This film can get a bit confusing at times, due to the time paradox that "Doc" explains to "Marty." Sometimes, you forget which version of the characters you are watching -- especially when another version is in the scene.

This is a good movie for the entire family. The language, and violence is pretty mild, and the comedy is never crude or adult-oriented. The only thing I would suggest is that you watch the movies back-to-back.

Just as good as the 1st one still a great adventure movie.

One of the coolest sequels I have ever seen.

This is easily one of the greatest sequels I have ever seen. It is up there with Terminator 2 as the best ever in my opinion. Perhaps what makes this film unique is the fact that when most sequels are continuations of what previously happened a...

This is easily one of the greatest sequels I have ever seen. It is up there with Terminator 2 as the best ever in my opinion. Perhaps what makes this film unique is the fact that when most sequels are continuations of what previously happened a majority of this film takes place during events in the first Back to the Future, almost making it like the same movie.

This movie is just as good as the original. The story starts in the future where you meet Marty's (Fox) family. He has to make sure his son doesn't make a mistake and go to jail. Later Marty is force to go back to 1955 and repair the damage his trip to the future caused. Great special effects and story line makes this movie a fun ride.

Back to the Future Part II is even better than the first. It has an even better plot and fits in well with the trilogy, which is actually quite rare. Some people even say that this is the best in the trilogy, and as far as I can remember, I said the same. So, we have Marty McFly again who reunites with his girlfriend Jennifer. Doc returns with a hovering time machine and takes them to the year 2015. And it makes you wonder. It makes you wonder if hovercars, hoverboards and all the futuristic things in 2015 will exist. So anyway, Marty buys this book showing all the records of sports from 1950-2000. Doc tells him nom chucking it in the bin. But then you see the old version of Biff picking up the book and quickly nicking their time machine. Once he's back in 2015, Marty, Jennifer and Doc go back to 1985, finding out that they're in the alternate 1985 where Biff is rich and is married to Marty's mother. Now Marty has to go back to 1955 and try and get 1985 back to normal. He just needs to make sure he doesn't see himself.

This is a great follow up the the first classic. Love this movie, was great when first came out dreaming of flyin cars and hover boards in 2015, even though were gettin closer to 2015 and there no sign of flying cars yet this is still a awesome...
