Back to the Future trilogy.

[ptsofathrty]

I don't know whether or not there's a thread for this already, but I figured there needed to be a thread specifically for the Back to the Future movies.

First order of business is to find out how you guys (and gals) feel about the movies. I thought they were great and if I had a top 100 list (which I'm thinking about doing) the first Back to the Future would probably be in the top 10.

The first one is the best. The second one was good too; I didn't like the third one.

I think the second one was the best and first one ok but I didn't like the third one eather.

 

[kleptobismol]

i thought the plots were good on the first two, but the presentation was mediocre at best.

i give the first two 3.5 stars and the last one 2 stars.

I love 'em. The third one wasn't the greatest thing in the world, but I figure it takes some specials skills to successfully go from sci-fi to western and back again.

I also think it's fun to think about all the mind twisting questions it presents about time travel.

 

[Sors]

Yeah I love them, minus the third movie, which I liked at the time, but can't stand now. For classic fun science fiction its hard to beat.

 

[InnerPhyre]

I liked 1 and 3. Hated 2.

I loved those movies. They were great.

All of 'em were good, I'm surprised at the amount of people who disliked the third one- I thought it was clever... good use of the past, and tieing it with the previous two movies. I'm just sad there won't ever be anymore! Dont wanna ruin a good 80's thing I guess! hehe

I like them all!!! The third one brought a satisfactory closure so that's ok. But if I have to rate them I would rate 2 > 1 > 3 in terms of preference

The trend I hear with the Back to the Future trilogy is similar to the trend with the Matrix trilogy. The first one seems to be the best and systematically gets worst each time another is made. The trend also seems to happen with the Blade movies and a lot of other films. I hope Spider-Man 3 and Batman Begins can break the trend. I have no doubt Spider-Man 3 will be just as great, maybe even better, then the first and second ones.

The first one has a bit too much bad language for a kids movie. I didn't realize that till I was watching it at my sister's and she has one of those language guardians and it was blocking stuff right and left.

I liked one and three.

the second one has an AMAZING plot and storyline... it jumps everywhere and you really have to concentrate to understand. to me, that's what makes a good movie... a well thought out clever movie. the other 2 are good as well... i love the whole trilogy...

Hello

My kids and I love the whole trilogy!! I don't think I can rate them in order of preference as I think they're all really good. I think the second one, as someone else said, requires the most concentration.

We all think that the man who plays Biff is a great actor! and we love Doc - Christopher Lloyd would be one of my all-time favourite actors. Each movie has really great scenes and moments. One such, for me, is when Marty wakes up at the end of Part One and does a double-take when he sees the change in his family and his home! And we love the steam train at the end of Part 3. I'd love to go for a ride on that!!!

I love all three movies. The thought of time traveling has captured the imagination of man since time was measured.
Part II has lots of timeline errors that would have sent time in loops.
Part III has some timeloop problems as well.

...and the first didn't?

I liked 1 and 3. Hated 2.

Wow...didn't like 2? I just love it for the way the plot intertwines with the plot of the first one. Very creative in my opinion.

Just a random point of trivia...the name of the mall at the beginning of the first movie is Twin Pine Mall. You'll notice when Marty goes back in time he runs over a pine tree. At the end of the movie the name of the mall is Lone Pine Mall.
