Adventure/Comedy-Marty McFly and the time-traveling DeLorean are back. We pick up where we left off, where Doc takes Marty and Jennifer (now played by Liz Shue) to the future to change the McFly family. However, when the 2015 Biff gives a 1955 Biff a book with 50 years of sports scores. 1955 Biff uses it to make a fortune and makes everyone jealous of him. Biff then takes Lorraine (Marty's mom) and now Marty (again) must take Lorraine back while still being able to get back to 1985 from the first movie.

5/10-A moneymaker only. It was fun, in some ways. The future is a typical future and it's fun, with hover cars and all. Even more confusing than the first. But it didn't have the charm that made Part I so good. Also, it wasn't really funny, which is what it needs to be to be a comedy. Something else that irked me about it is at the end, it's a preview for Part III!
Rated PG for language.
