Excelente y entretenida película familiar,pero que llega al tamaño de la primera debido al hecho de que muchas escenas están repetidas.Pero he de admitir que es muy entretenida y interesante.

Unlike the first part of the movie, this part manages to fall and fail in charming moments filled with very cheesy and predictable events during the year 2015 in this movie.

Has a very muddled plot and doesn't know what it wants to be. But still enjoyable anyway.

You’ll come out of this film with either two reactions. One it was a fun time travel movie that had me on the edge of my seat. Another reaction you’ll have is this movie had no heart and just had the characters running around the whole timeYou’ll come out of this film with either two reactions. One it was a fun time travel movie that had me on the edge of my seat. Another reaction you’ll have is this movie had no heart and just had the characters running around the whole time and never let you breathe and either way you’ll be right. For me it s a combo of the two. While this was a fun movie it was nowhere near as good as the first one with characters constantly running around and the film never giving the audience or the characters a chance to breathe. There was not much story or character to this film just one giant marathon that you are exhausted at, which makes it nowhere near is as good as the first one. Thankfully, some of this running around is fun and makes it a decent watch but at the same time it destroys a perfectly good movie. This sequel didn’t need to exist but at the same time it could have been worse. If you love the first film I’d recommend skipping this film so you’ll just have that one really good one in your head. If you’re curious check it out as it is not awful its just the first one was so much better where this one is just generic. To reiterate as a film on its own its alright but as a sequel to Back to the Future one of the best movies I have ever seen it is a massive let down lacking substance and is a whole lot of nothing.… Expand

Actually found this more enjoyable than the first as the time-travel premise is used more intelligently.

This is a sequel that has a lot going for it, so much so, that it becomes a little over-saturated with so many plot-lines and so many different situations that our characters get into.

Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is back, and Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) takes Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) to the future of 2015 where he tells them about the situation involving both Marty and Jennifer's kids. While they're both in 2015, Marty comes across a guide book that is able to tell him about all the sports events and results between 1950 to 2000, with Marty being equipped with easy access to a time machine, he is able to go back and predict these scores and is able to make money from it all.

But, the doctor isn't so keen about this idea, as he claims that he did not invent the time machine to predict scores and gamble for financial gain. But, it turns out that Biff (Thomas F. Wilson) has managed to find the book and use it for his younger self and alternate the present that is 1985 in the worst way possible.

The movie is certainly fast-paced and visually eye-popping. The fictional take on the future of 2015 is filled with pure imagination and the film does its job with special effects that still hold up magnificently well, the film is still as funny as ever, even though some parts of the film may seem a little far-fetched. There are times where he movie does feel a little unnecessary as one would ask "Why would the Doc tell Marty about his future when he could control his own future and prevent disastrous results?".

There is still a lot to like about this movie, even if it does feel a little repetitive and overly melodramatic, if not overstuffed with too many character cliches. The young hero is the young hero, the crazy scientist is the crazy scientist and the big bad guy is the big bad guy. Some of the lines of dialogue may be a little ironic for comedy purposes, but at times can feel a little... eye-rolling, such as "You're not going to believe this, we got to go back to 1955!" followed by "I don't believe it!". I get that it's used for irony, but it also felt a little cheap in terms of what kind of comedy it's supposed to be.

A good sequel, not as great as the first.… Expand

This sequel doesn't work with the original, and it's not funny enough to put the audience in shock. Using not enjoyable enough story-telling.

The sequel to Back to the Future is still an enjoyable movie, but it's weighed down by an overstuffed and unoriginal story. Too often, it felt like a parody of the first film.

2 part was originally supposed to surpass the famous original. But unfortunately, in almost everything it is inferior to the original. The idea is no longer new, the characters are still the same and they do the same actions. As a result, all2 part was originally supposed to surpass the famous original. But unfortunately, in almost everything it is inferior to the original. The idea is no longer new, the characters are still the same and they do the same actions. As a result, all this looks with a sense of old living. And only the final 1/3 of the film at least somehow entertains and fascinates. Well, of course, the ending in fact does not have 2 part, which is also not pleasing.… Expand

Bon film, mais infiniment moins bon que le premier, trop de recyclage si vous voyez c'que j'veux dire. Néanmoins agréable a regarder. 6/10
