IMDB
The sequel to the classic mid-80s time travel comedy stars where the last film left off. Unfortunately, the original film was not meant to lead to a sequel. That might sound weird since it is left open for a sequel, but Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale had just had a series of bombs before making this film (though, Zemeckis is coming off of "Romancing the Stone" here) and were having a hard time even getting a film made. The first thing they do in this film is to knock out Marty's girlfriend for the entire movie.
While I do love this movie, it is not as consistently good as I or III. This movie is a bit all over the place, though that is some of the fun of it. The future stuff is fine. I loved it when I was a kid. Now, nearing 2015, it doesn't necessarily seem as neat. The stuff back in 1955 is pretty great. It suffers a bit from Crispin Glover not agreeing to it.
8/10
