Shot back-to-back with the second chapter in the trilogy, Back to the Future, Part III is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Marty ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of gunman Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson, who had a recurring role as the bully Biff). Director Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh


Entertaining under-rated sequel

It isn't everyday I say the sequels are better than the original but the `Back to the future' trilogy has provided a very close test. Is this the best of the three?

The third instalment of the time travelling adventures sees Marty travelling into the Wild West to rescue the doctor. Spielberg's third instalment was heavily criticized but when I watched I failed to see why.

There are many elements were questionable such as the meetings between the characters and at times there is a lack of realism but there usually always is with the fantasy genre. The start was enough to confuse the most devoted fan and many ideas from the first two films were used and repeated but is funny and enjoyable nonetheless.

The partnership of Lloyd and Fox is fantastic as always and the pairing was phenomenal as the pair perform brilliantly, delivering jokes as well as serious ideologies of friendship, love and most notably `the future'. Combing common day events with old fashioned western conventions was a very clever story driven idea from director Zemeckis who continues his brilliant graphics, plots and action into one of my personal favourite sequels

The action scenes I thought would be the downfall of this film but am happy to report I was proved wrong with the most notable ending I have witnessed in a long time. The excitement and tension created builds to a fantastic finale with great action combined with unquestionable acting from the central roles.

The characters are always lovable and respectable to audiences as always as we see a more serious side to the doctor and the familiar role of the stereotypical teenager Marty. The role of Clara, played acceptably by Steenburgen, was an interesting twist and added something different that the first two did not.

Is it better than the first two? I loved all of the films and feel this one capped them off. The first had very good ideas as we learnt about the machine and its troubles, the second allowed us to see different times and different ideologies but the third always appears a tad more funny but also serious and is therefore my favourite.

Watch all of the films - pure adreline and just general excitement

This was very slow and seemed to be short on story lines, not as good as the first 2. still watchable, but a disapointment when put side by side with the first 2 films,If you have seen the first 2 then watch it if not don't bother.
