Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
oliverjensentccs Perfect story and fantastic directed. And the story over the three films ties perfect together
Isaac (codfather-84460) Duun, dun, dun, dun,dun,dun,dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dundadun. My condolences.Back to the Future released in 1985 is considered one of the best sci-fi movies of all time and I with out a doubt agree. The story follows a teenager who goes by the name of Marty McFly played by Michael J. Fox who has a strange friend named Emmet Brown played by Christopher Lloyd who invents a time machine using a Delorean which the instant that it appears on screen becomes one of the (if not) most famous vehicles in cinema which is the genius of Robert Zemeckis similar to the genius of Stanley Kubrick in The Shining with the ending of it which is ambiguous, yet awesome and Zemeckis seems to be the Kubrick of this film for sure.First off, we have the incredible cast and acting which is certainly applicable to Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd who I still retain as two of the best lead actors in all of cinema from their charismatic performances and astounding chemistry which still puts a smile on my face and is one of the most quotable movies ever made. "Ronald Reagan? The actor? Ha! Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?" That quote makes me laugh out loud every time and I love it as well as nearly everyone's performance. Crispen Glover as George McFly is the performance that put him on the map after the fourth Friday the 13th movie went totally under the rug even though I think that his performance was decent in it. Lea Thompson is also amazing and I don't care but I still laugh when Marty McFly finds her for the first time and is tempted to say that she's hot but then realises that she's his mother which makes me laugh every time I see it. Thomas F. Wilson is so funny as he plays Biff, the bully of Marty's father who is so funny due to his stupidity which is written so well and appeals to all ages which is the same for all the humour.Another thing that I appreciate is the clever cultural commentary as obviously not everything was the same in 1955 so there is going to be some references to how life was different then. First off, we have the continued comments on Marty's jacket with everyone saying that it is a life preserver which is really funny as nearly everyone acknowledges it. Another thing is the line said that says "Who the hell is John F. Kennedy" which is funny because obviously JFK wasn't even known at that time which is a nice little history lesson. One more thing is the racism as racism was still very prominent back then so the way that Marvin Berry's music group get racially attacked which is quite respectable on Zemeckis's half.The story is really clever as it centres around Marty accidentally traveling thirty years back in time and during his little tour around his home Hill Valley, he finds his father being picked on which you see earlier and the scenes are practically the same but thirty years back which adds to the excellent writing from the mind of Zemeckis. The way that Marty changes history when he moves his father out of the way to make it so that he is the one that gets hit by Lorraine's dad's car and meets and becomes the one that Lorraine falls for which is so clever that it sometimes becomes mind boggling. My favourite moment by far is in my opinion the best scene in any movie ever which is the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance where we see George McFly finally stand up to Biff when he punches him in the face which I love every time I see it, the Earth Angel scene where George kisses Lorraine for the first time which (I don't even care to admit) makes me well up with tears of joy every time I see it because it is honestly that beautiful, and the scene where Marty McFly does a cover of Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry rest in peace and that it is so funny when he starts rocking out to the point of everyone thinking he's a complete weirdo which makes me laugh every time.Overall, this movie is definitely one of my all time favourites with it's charm, really funny humour and it's just a total joy to watch and one youngsters can enjoy and appreciate and I am so glad to give my favourite movie of all time a ten out of ten.
cathylr Back to the future is to me what ´Star Wars´ is for other people. I watched it when I was rather Young and it became my absolute reference. It is hard for me to remain objective but I have Heard other critics confirm that they could not find any fault in this film (apart from maybe some tiny details that only fans can notice). And so can´t I.
fernandogallo One of the most important classics! Storytelling, effects, easter eggs, everything is there, including Spielberg's touch!
