From Amazon.co.uk
Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
A futuristic sequel to 'Back to the Future' (1985). Accompanied by Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) must travel thirty years into the future to save his own children from going to jail. Meanwhile, the aged Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) steals the Delorean time machine to return to the Fifties and make his younger self rich, creating an alternative 1985 timeline in which Marty's father, George, has been murdered.

BTTF2 is definitely under-rated and over-criticised. The plot may get complicated at times (I had to rewind it a couple of times to work out what was going on!) but that makes it more enjoyable as far as I'm concerned. The hoverboard is still a great piece of movie invention (hopefully somebody will make one by 2015!) and the scene at the end with Marty standing in the rain is truly fantastic. However, do not watch this film until you have seen the first one!

bttf 2 is the best of the 2 sequels, although bttf 3 isn't at all bad, whereas bttf 1 surpasses them both as it sets the story. however, whereas individually they may have their faults, as a trilogy they are incredible. btff 2 gave kids (i was only 6 when i first saw it) hopes of a future with flying cars and hovering skateboards, which was excellent. and the whole trilogy made me want to buy a delorean, but that's just because i'm easily influenced by brilliant films (and their equally good sequels). so buy this now (and while you're here, buy the other two- it works better watched as a trilogy rather than a single film) 5 stars!

This film is better than the one that came before it. Although Back To The Future was excellent, this film has a better story, better settings and better effects. And the hoverboard scenes were an excellent upgrade of the first film's skateboard scences. This film hasn't aged at all. It is just as good today, as it was in 1989. A classic movie!

Briliant
Brilliant film, my favourite in the trilogy. I think it has the best plot out of any of them, interesting to see how they thought the future would be.

Underrated sequel
I think this film is way better than 3 which I found predictable and functioned more as a fish out of water pic than a time travel adventure. Read more

What a Blinder
This is the best movie I have ever seen. The plot is so complicated that it blew my mind because it is so relevant to the 1st movie, espiecially when they go back to 1955. Read more

Very appealing to those who have seen the first of the films
Don't listen to the critics! A fantastic sequel in which Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd both perform wonderfully. A scifi/fantasy comedy for all the family. Read more

What a concept
Whoever penned this trilogy has a seriously convoluted mind; thinking too hard about the implications of this film could drive you nuts. Read more
