Back to the Future

Watched the first one with the fam. My 9yo son LOVED it. Of course he didn't get all the jokes (Reagan, Chuck Berry, etc). My 7yo daughter wasn't into it at first, but I told her it was a love story with a happy ending.

Anyway, I saw it in the theatre when it came out. I think it has aged just fine. Pretty tightly plotted.

So then we started on the sequel. OMG. I'd never seen it. Only halfway through and it's awful.

Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of the second and third.

I liked the third one. But yeah, the second is barely watchable.

The second is really bad. The third is OK.

When I saw stuff about people not wanting to make a 4th BTTF because the "first three were so great," I kept thinking "What two movies did you see after the first?"

I agree with this. The second one just seemed convoluted for the sole purpose of making it convoluted. The timeline changing stuff became less of a plot device and they just tried to make it the plot.
