Just as good as the first one, with a great and intelligent story, great acting, perfect music, and cool visual in the time. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Doesn't hold a candle to the first one, but Back to the Future Part II is better than most sequels. Marty McFly is back, and the premise is still interesting and fresh. I still enjoyed it.

Back to the Future Part II adds more plot lines and more time travel destinations thus adding opportunities for more peril and more great adventure, and it absolutely delivers on those opportunities.

It's such a clever film and idea that made it work so well, and having actors like Fox & Lloyd only helped. I'm a little hesitant about the final chapter as I don't remember liking it but willing to give it a shot!… Expand

It isn't as good as the first film though, moving a little too fast and a little too much crammed in such as the past, future and alternative universes idea. Still it is very enjoyable, with the acting from Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd as zany and as likable as ever before and the special effects even better than in the first film and that was a hard feat. The script is clever and fun, the direction is excellent and the sets are highly imaginative. Plus the score is great. Overall, a slightly inferior but very enjoyable sequel. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Great continuation to a classic sci-fi film. Sequels hardly ever match up with the original first film (except T2, it is better!), but BTTF2 nearly pulls it off. Is it as good as #1? No, but it is still a 10 for me.

The first one is more unique but the sequel is also amazing. Since both are truly great movies it does not really mater at the end of the day. While it is also a science fiction comedy it is also different and has a bit of a darker tone than the prequel. The movie starts at the end of the prequel (At the sequel teaser) were Doc Brown appeared again to bring Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer into the future in the year 2015 to prevent serious family troubles there (This sounds fake now as we are already past 2015;-). However because of some carelessness this is just a small inconvenience to the events that happen when they return to the past. I will stop here with the set up to avoid spoilers. The story is magnificent and the twists are remarkable. They could play it safe but tried something new. This works well, is immersive and enjoyable from start to finish. Bonus: Many years later it was interesting to make the comparison between the movie imagination and real year 2015 (The imagination won;-). I will praise the creativity here for the story and worldbuilding. Much of the pop culture knowledge of fictional time travel is from this movie. Again they mastered the balance between seriousness and humor in a way that none harms the other. Also again the great cast delivers a performance that enhances the movie. Lets start with Marty McFly played by Michael J. Fox who again fully delivers his role. Same for Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown who is our beloved eccentric or slightly mad scientist;-). These 2 have such a great chemistry in the franchise. Thomas F. Wilson returns as Biff Tannen and even surpasses his performance from the first movie. It is no wonder why he is one of the most memorable antagonist of his (movie) age. The rest of the cast also adds to the great performance and I will praise all of them. Where this movie is clearly a bit weaker than the prequel is the soundtrack and it is still a good soundtrack. Overall this was a great sequel. It has the strength of the original and fresh ideas. The story and humor in combination with the actors work well. It is an easy recommendation and I will praise director Robert Zemeckis for this great movie.… Expand

Marty McFly and the Doc are back and this time they travel to the past and the future with a plot that takes place right where the 1st "Back to the Future" left off. The humor is still here, it's still got some incredibly tense moments, and Marty is just as likable as ever. The only problem I have with the film is that, aside from lacking the magic of the original, it feels to much like a retread of the first movie.

Scenes from the first film are constantly being repeated throughout, making this feel less like a sequel and more like a way to remind us of what happened in the first movie so that we may better prepared for part 3, which this movie even already has scenes from at the end! This is especially odd because part 1 had only come out 4 years ago, so the memories of that movie couldn't have been that well forgotten. Still, what original plot the film does have manages to keep it afloat and worth watching.

It might not have the magic of the first film, and its existence may just be a way to set us up for part 3, but it's still got enough moments of originality here to make it worth a watch for fans of the first. It might not be a perfect sequel, but it's still a darn good one.… Expand

It's still got great acting, music, and pretty much all the strengths of the first one, which was strong all-round.

This one does suffer from two of its parts though.

One is that the true strength of BttF 1 was how everything was seamless and perfectly fitting, like a machine that never, ever made any mistakes. Every plot thread, scene, character, did all it had to do, none of them may have shined extremely bright but they all did a perfect job.

In this one, the plot threads don't really work as well. One of the most important elements of BttF2 is that you can't have 2 same people meet or else that'll create a time paradox. Here, when Biff from 1955 meets Biff from 2015...nothing happens. I know Young Biff doesn't recognise Old Biff, but still, the plot point falls apart, and it's one of the bigger plot points of the movie.
Other elements like how Doc Brown refuses to change the future, but gets Marty to change the future to save his kids, is a bit ridiculous. If he's ready to change the future that much, why not help Marty stop being an idiot and not get in the car accident he's supposed to get in? It's not much of a stretch and it'd certainly help much.
Most scenes do their job as well as in the first movie, but don't feel as tight. Why?...The first one had a pretty much flawless quality of always introducing plot devices, foreshadowing and emotional relationships statuses without any asperity to it. The leaflet that informs you that the clock tower will be struck at exactly 10:04? Perfectly introduced. The meeting between Marty's mum and him instead of his 1955 dad? Perfectly introduced.

Here, it's not so good. Things that happen don't make as much sense and/or are a bit too easy or not as well executed. It's not far worse, just slightly, but while the first one was constantly amazing with that, this one isn't.

The second thing that doesn't work too well in this movie is how drastically it travels through time. You go to the future, an alternate present, the past, all in one movie. It's fine in terms of logic and sense(mostly anyway) but emotionally, it's not. You don't have the time to build emotion for any of the characters in this movie, except for the ones you already know from the last movie.
Granted, that's pretty much 90% of them...But that's the issue. They bring almost nothing new to the table. There's certainly a lot of tension and emotion for Marty and Doc's predicaments, but not for their characters, or any new characters. The alternate 1985 Biff and Lorraine? You don't see them long. Old Biff? Don't see him long. Young Biff, you know him from the last movie.
Marty and Doc end up on the upper end of this since they have a lot of screen time and we already know them and learn more about them, but they're really the exception.

Apart from these inferiorities, BttF2 is definitely still a great watch. It's still fun, full of tension and action and comedy, and although quite more sad and tragic than the last one, it's just as good as a lighthearted story.… Expand

But watching it again I understand what it is,Previously on Back to the Future. I just want to point out something about it. I don't understand anything about time travel when I watched the first film. I just found time traveling confusing. But watching it again I understand what it is, when you travel back in time in the old years and of course, recent years. Robert Zemeckis is back to direct the second movie, Back to the Future Part II along with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd returning to their roles. Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel from 1985 to 2015 to prevent Marty's son from sabotaging the McFly family's future; when their arch-nemesis Biff Tannen, played by Thomas F. Wilson again, steals Doc's DeLorean time machine and uses it to alter history for his benefit, the duo must return to 1955 to restore the timeline. OK, so after the first film got it's massive praises back in 1985 the movie itself takes place in the year 1985 and now in 1955 where Marty had accidentally traveled in the year 1955. This one does the same thing and this time something is seriously wrong. Okay, now let me get to something that what changed about the movie. You know Claudia Wells, right? Where she played Jennifer Parker from the first film, she was replaced by Elisabeth Shue because she retired from acting due to her mother had been diagnosed with cancer, so now they reshot that scene in the opening where the first one ended. And of course, Crispin Glover didn't get to return which he want to due to he got paid less money. He sued the producers for using his likeness without his permission. Now there's something I didn't know about one thing that I completely missed out is the fact that I see Michael J. Fox in drag. It always baffles me that I didn't know who dresses up like a woman. I do know however that Tim Curry is always like that from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I gotta say I really love the sequel much like the first one. I know it's not as good as the first but once you've seen it you grown to appreciate it. It had a funny story that correct the mistakes what Biff has done and it reenacts the same scenes from the first movie without bumping into the other selves. I also liked the funny part where Marty sneaks into Mr Strickland's office to get the almanac but finds the cover of it with the "Ooh La La" catalog. Now that I'm going to do the third and final film of the Back to the Future trilogy, Back to the Future Part III. Stay Tuned.… Expand

However though, I can understand the medium critics. This movie is by far not as heart-warming and binding as the first one and I'd even say the story is a little lesser interesting. Objectively, this movie is outstanding with it's effects and overall charme and it has legitimately become one of a movie classic. With the characteristic acting of Michael J. Fox and the character trades within the relations of each of the protagonists to each other, at first this movie is a good drama and family story. But there comes the trouble: Time-Travel dilemma, which is the reason I like this one best. It's a known thing that time travel IS theoretically possible and everyone has heard about the paradoxes going along with the imagination. The thing about this philosphy is, that as past is left behind us already makes it easier for one to see himself in the future, as future is always yet to change. And that's exactly the strength of that movie, giving fictional proof that minimal changes can cause an entire different outcome. As the first movie is a told story that would make you think but stay on distance, this one allows you to reflect yourself and think about the decisions you made and make and how they affected you and will affect you. Now where 2015 is gone and with it our hopes of flying cars, it's still nice to see how people 30 years before thought it would look then. And who knows, maybe some event in the past could have caused the future we see here?

And that's the point. This movie re-creates the real world beyond our imagination, because unlike the past, we are a part of the future and we can change it directly.… Expand

To fix these events they will have to go back and review the events of the first film for another perspective, the film knows how to play very well with the elements of a supposed future such as the haveboard, nike sneakers that tie themselves, The problem here is to use a simple premise to introduce what really matters in the 1985 frame that is governed by Biff, this version of the past is bleak and looks dirty, in that part the Movie loses a little comic tone and becomes much more serious, with marty trying to deal with the changes of the world and his familia.to fix this situation they return to the events of the first film in what is d Eve the best part of the movie, it is very interesting to see the events of the first film from another angle, but the movie has some problems anyway and did not surpass the first the performances are as good as the first movie and the CGI was right Advance, is a good plot with a story that amuses and charismatic characters.note 84… Expand

This is the second film of what was one of the most remarkable trilogies of the 1980s. In the first movie, Marty McFly and "Doc" Emmett Brown traveled until the 1950s, until Marty's parents' dating years, using a time machine built from a DeLorean. Now, the pair will need to go to the future in 2015 to prevent Marty and Jenniffer's children from becoming delinquents and dragging the entire family to the bottom. But in the midst of it all, they still have to stop the perfidious Biff Tannen from making a fortune at the expense of inside information about future sporting results. To correct the future and save the present, therefore, it will be necessary to intervene in the past, and return to 1955.

The film is clearly the continuation of its predecessor and has direct connection with it. The mix of sci fi and comedy continues to succeed but it does not prevent the feeling that this movie is, in essence, more of the same as we saw before. If we forget that brief foray into the future (which for me is already a distant past, as I write this text a few years after 2015), the film is nothing really new. At any rate, it's funny to see how, in the 1980s, someone imagined our time. Flying cars? If they only knew that we were more concerned with greening cars than flying them ... But of course, nothing should be taken too seriously here. Speaking of ecology, the film suggests in one scene that DeLorean replaced the use of plutonium with organic debris and rubbish, perhaps using an original type of composter. Curious to check this out.

There is little to say about the direction of Robert Zemeckis, or even about the cast, that has not been said or observed in the previous film. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd continue to dominate the film, which will be a constant throughout the trilogy. In this movie, however, the stakes of Thomas F. Wilson, an excellent villain, and Elisabeth Shue, who gain, despite their preponderance, still fall relatively sidelined for much of the movie, literally falling asleep.

Special effects, visuals and sound are inseparable and important part of any sci-fi movie and here they work quite well. I thought the future was quite interesting, with ultra-modern cars and some crazy ideas, but as I said, it's not something we should take too seriously. It also struck me as interesting to see the same actor playing two versions of himself, although it was clear how this was achieved by splitting the screen.

It's understandable why the movie, like the whole trilogy, became so popular. Despite being weaker than the first film, it retained its features well and honored its predecessor, leaving clear signs of a continuation. The trilogy as a whole has aged very well and still has class, charm and style, which cannot be said of all films made in the 1980s.… Expand

Creo que es la peor de la trilogía por ser un poco blanda en ocasiones pero aun así esta bastante bien. Y la recomiendo.

É incrível como essa história é uma receita de bolo tão boa e viciante. Veja: mesmo a repetindo diversas vezes, ainda temos interesse em ver de novo. Os personagens são divertidos, o storyline é previsível na sua base - considero isso como um ponto positivo; o plot funciona bem, mesmo sendo bem óbvio que ele acontecerá. A trilha sonora é lendária, junto com toda identidade visual criada pelo filme.
O humor prevalece em quase todo momento e funciona bem, mesmo sendo bobo.

Tanto quando o primeiro, esta é uma ótima obra para se assistir com seu amigos ou família. Super recomendado.… Expand

There's a lot crammed into this one, so you have to keep your head with it. But the humour remains and the set-up remains impeccable. Zemeckis is the king of details.

Such a great sequel! The first one was an awesome movie on its own, but part 2 is so closely tied to part 1 it really depends on it. That's not a bad thing and they did a great job with it, but it's still not the perfection that part 1 is.

Back to the Future II was made in 1989 by the same director (Robert Zemeckis). For me Back to the Future II is the best sequel to the original as we get to see Michael J. Fox as McFly trying to steal back a sports betting book or something called Almanac from Biff (Thomas F.Wilson). This book can make you rich as it has all the answers and correct answers to bets to make you a fortune but sadly it's misused causing a horrible future existence so Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox go back in time to stop the Almanac book from being used by Biff to create a better future.... Back to the Future II is full of great scenes, great characters, weird characters and amazing parts to it and is without doubt my favourite sequel to the original.... Back to the Future III was pretty poor compared to this one and Back to the Future II in my opinion is just as good if not better or equal to the original but the third installment was quite bad. The idea of George McFly being dead in a horrible future with Biff being rich and wealthy and married to Lorraine (Lea Thompson) was a great idea and many of the scenes are done great especially the Delorean scenes and stuff and Michael J. Fox in a black leather jacket rocked. What it did was take the first movie and go beyond what the original was. Excellent film.… Expand

It's hard to say which part was better, because this one was perhaps even more exciting for me, but in the end I decided for the first one, which at times let me breathe and then sped up again and here, on the other hand, it didn't slow down and there was always something going on, which I believe will suit a lot of people, because there is always something going on. The constant adrenaline rush which was really cool, but I think the first one had a better ending, because here we are clearly told that we are going to have a threesome, while the first one ended and although the second one was good, I think it could have ended quite well. Here we are immediately excited for the threequel and so I didn't quite get a sense of an ending or any sort of climax, which was there but not like the previous film. Bottom line. Very hard to determine which episode was more successful. Both films were very good, but I choose the first one because of the already mentioned better ending. But otherwise I'm glad that the rule of only the first good part hasn't been proven here and that the sequel doesn't really fall short in my opinion.… Expand
