Back to the future Part II (1989)

Also Known As: Volver al futuro parte II
Year of first release: 1989
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Actors: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas Wilson
Country: USA
Genre: SF, Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 21.10.2015, Schauburg, OV English version with German subtitles
Synopsis: Marty McFly (Fox) has only just gotten back from the past, when he is once again picked up by Dr. Emmett Brown (Lloyd) and sent through time to the future. Marty's job in the future is to pose as his own son (Fox) to prevent him from being thrown in prison. Unfortunately, things get worse when the future changes the present.
Review: This movie is the less good from the trilogy, from my point of view. It does not start so bad, it continues with a high complexity of the story, and when it finishes, the characters and I were quite lost (after having seen a couple of times, I am not lost anymore). Maybe this is the reason why the atmosphere is not that good. Or because a large part of the movie is in a very bad and chaotic world where there are not many dialogues. The story including the now legendary Hover board, the self-drying jacket, the movie Jaws 19 and other products have been inspiring generations to this kind of dreams.
I did not find much originality in this sequel, at least not in the dialogues. The acting is as good as in the first episode, but something is really missing. The characters are well defined, in the different ages. 
The movie is full of good ideas and maybe too full for me. Therefore it looses a bit its own personality.
Rating: 6 /10
