Part 2 Back to the Future Movie Review



Taking up exactly where Part 1 left off, Doc Brown and Marty time-hop into the future (2015 to be exact) to save Marty's kids, then find themselves returning to 1955 to retrieve a sports almanac that causes havoc for the McFly family. Clever editing allows for Marty Part 2 to see Marty Part 1 at the school dance. Most of the cast returns, although Crispin Glover appears only in cuts from the original and Elisabeth Shue steps in as girlfriend Jennifer. It's that rarest of things, a sequel that's as satisfying as the original. Cliffhanger ending sets up Part 3, which was shot simultaneously with Part 2.
