CLASSIC!
One of the most memerable movies with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
'Where we are going there are no roads.' -
MCT:August 11, 2008Like the best 80's movie that is directed by the person who directed The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
-
MCT:August 10, 2008I will admit it's a very entertaining movie, and has surprisingly good effects for an '80s film, but a giant portion of the make-up and sidesteam acting was enough to annoy me. i still think it's a great and fun movie to watch

MCT:August 9, 2008A funny film made in times where the american flicks were politically incorrect.

Just a bit (or a lot) lacking in believability, but then again this was the 80's. Fox stars as a teen who travels back in time to avoid a van full of vengeful Libyans and ends up totally altering the past then must fix it. Followed by two sequels, this trilogy has an incredible amount of rewatchability mostly due to all the hidden things in it.

The first Back to the Future movie was very successful. Produced by Steven Spielburg,under the direction of Robert Zemeckis.

The best of the Trilogy! This is a classic film. Still holds up today. I never get bored watching this film. This is my favorite film by Michael J. Fox.

"Marty McFly" (Michael J. Fox in his most famous movie role) is an average teen with Rock 'n Rol dreams. He has a beautiful girlfriend (Claudia Wells), trouble in school with the principal (James Tolkan), a mother (Lea Thompson) who just do not understand him, and a wimp of a father (Crispin Glover) who is still terrorized by high school bully "Biff" (Tom Wilson), who is now his supervisor at work.
One early morning, he is asked by his good, yet very eccentric friend "Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown" (Christopher Lloyd) to tape his latest invention -- a time machine made out of a plutonium-powered De Lorean automobile.
There are some good performances in this movie. In fact, I couldn't find fault with any performances. Everybody, especially Lloyd who was the most over-the-top, did a great job in their characters. Even those who change after "Marty" returns from 1955 are pretty believable. Lloyd is probably the most comical due to being over-the-top around the more serious characters he interacts with.
There are some pretty good make-up effects for the 1985 pre-time travel Glover, Thompson and Wilson. The make-up jobs are pretty believable, although Thompson does appear to have prosthetics on her face to fatten her up.
As for the computer special effects, it's nothing spectacular. Even though the time machine breaking the time barrier looks impressive, the special effects are over 20 years old.
In the 1955 scenes, everything appears authentic. From the clothing, props like televisions to automobiles look great. And they did a great job with the 1955 "Hill Valley" and the 1985 one. It really looked as if the buildings aged 30 years.
The music is fun as well. From the instrumentals composed by Alan Silvestri to the classic tunes of "The Ballad of Davey Crockett" and "Johnny B. Goode", and the music from Huey Lewis and the News, who have their big release "Sports" immortalized in poster form in "Marty's" bedroom.
There are some good laughs in this film. None of which will make you bust a gut. And like other movies over 20-years old, many jokes reference things that are no longer in existence. In one 1955 scene, "Marty" tries to order a Pepsi Free, the first caffeine-free soda. People who were not around in 1985 would not understand jokes like this one.
There is a bit of a continuity problem with "Back to the Future 2" at the end of the movie, but you seem to forget about it when you see the first of the two sequels.
This is definitely a family movie. There is a few spots with some bad language, but the language is not extreme like the F-Bomb. And none of the jokes are dirty, so parents need not worry about what their kids will see and hear. Heck, this franchise produced an animated television series, so you know that it's not just for adults.
There is even some action scenes, although not many. You get a fun chase scene with 1955 "Biff" and his crew, who are surprisingly not seen in 1985, against "Marty" on a make-shift skateboard.
Speaking of the skateboard, there is some good editing in this movie. According to Wikipedia, Eric Stoltz was originally cast as "Marty" and scenes with him seem in the distance are still in the final cut that we see now. The scenes that obviously have a stunt double, or a skateboarding double, are also pretty flawlessly edited together. You pretty much believe that the main actors are doing what is being depicted.
Overall, this movie is just fun in general. The problems I've mentioned are pretty much minor and can easily be ignored. It's still a classic. -

"Back to the past"
I saw this movie yesterday, hadn't seen it for a long time and it reminded me how good the american-adventure-movie is. A Classic! -
MCT:July 19, 2008I have to be honest. I haven't seen this movie since I was really small, so I don't remember it very well. But I do remember thinking that it was ok and that Micheal J Fox was really cute!

By far the best of the three movies in this trilogy. This one I watch on occasion. The others I can't even sit through.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008
This is my favorite movie of all time! In fact, I really consider the trilogy all just one long movie. It has all my personal favorite elements - perfect casting, time travel, role reversals, inside jokes (huey lewis nixing his own song),an upbeat soundtrack, colorful costumes, bright cinematography and a well-written script. This movie and the two that followed are flawless, funny and heartwarming.

Robert Zemekis blends the right amount of everything scifi to make thus fun 1985 scifi comedy, where Marty McFly goes back 30 years into the part through an accident with wacky inventor Doc Brown's time machine DeLorean. That is just the essence of cool. Michael J Fox and Chrisptpher Lloyd are a brilliant dynamic duo.

One of the most purely entertaining blockbusters of the 1980s. Fun time-travel comedy. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are a great team.

I enjoyed all 3 of the films for different reasons (Great looking car-"Time Travel"("1885"-"1955"-"1985"-"2015") seeing How Hill Valley changed over the course of "130" years-the Delorean having Flying abilities in the second one wonderful music in all of the films (the background soundtrack)end credit music as well from each of the films by themselves.
