Solidly entertaining.

An ambitious film that fails to recreate the warmth or excitment of the first Back To The Future.

Zemeckis' fascination with having characters interact at different ages of their lives hurts the film visually, and strains credibility past the breaking point, by forcing him to rely on some very cheesy makeup designs.

Top CriticThe film works best through its magnificent technical achievements (the visual effects received an Oscar nomination) and the inherent charm of Fox, Lloyd and, especially, the delightfully menacing Thomas F. Wilson.

By the end, you may feel that you've just sat through a feature-length commercial for both part one (which has to be seen to make this sequel comprehensible) and part three (a trailer for it literally ends part two).

Top CriticIt turned off most viewers, but fascinated me.

The relatively quaint and simple time travel arc from BTTF gets far more confusing and, in some ways, more fulfilling.

It's impressive entertainment, and best of all, it never degenerates into Spielbergian sentimentality: you can laugh, be thrilled and think without feeling embarrassed.
