Back to the Future Part III

Inventive fun and energetic action are what count in this sort of film, and there is little of either in [Back to the Future Part III].

It satisfyingly ties up the various plot strands that were flapping in the breeze from the last installment.

The only true surprise of this movie is how lazy it is.

A clever and enjoyable wrapping-up of the time-travelling adventures.

The simplicity of plot, and the wide expansiveness of its use of space, are a refreshing change from the convoluted, visually cramped and cluttered second part.

This is a good deal more likable than part two because the product plugs have been held back, and Zemeckis is clearly having fun alluding to his favorite westerns; there's also a certain sweetness and charm in the Lloyd-Steenburgen romance.

Marty and Doc's intergenerational friendship flies in the face of the over-emphasized generation gap that dominated most conversations about older age groups and and the youth in the 80s.

The most conventional of the series.

Back to the Future Part III is a return to form for a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and a fun time in the Old West.

Repetition might be drab in any other franchise, but here it's absolutely hysterical.
