Back to the Future Part II (1989)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Back to the Future II is far more uneven than its predecessor, but its madcap highs outweigh the occasionally cluttered machinations of an overstuffed plot.

While the funny-bone is being gently tickled, the eye is constantly diverted. Unfortunately, and I find this true of every Zemeckis movie, neither the mind nor the heart is ever fully engaged.
A surprisingly oppressive, rapid-fire, noisy, gadget-filled action picture lacking the emotion of the original film.
The most important point is that the new film is fun.
Fans of the original should relish going back to Back to the Future.
Glum, claustrophobic and often oppressive.
Another fantastic voyage in a thoroughly entertaining contraption.
Audience Reviews for Back to the Future Part II
Very futuristic and broad in direction, Back to the Future Part II is adventurous, even though it doesn't compare to the impact the first installment provided. Fox and Lloyd once again partner up and make a great team in Zemeckis' sci-fi picture. 4/5
Super Reviewer
Excellent part two to the triology. Doc takes Marty into the future to save Marty's kids, but they end up in a different parallel life due to Biff changing history back in 1950s. So they have to go back in time. Exciting ride, full of adventure. Doc gets lost in the past.
Super Reviewer
The second part to the Back to the Future trilogy is more confusing, cheesy, and hokey than the first one (especially the aging make-up), but it's still lots of fun. It's future scenes are definitely clunky, and are probably the most confusing of all the scenes in the movie. But when they have fun, so do we, and that's the whole point of this second part.
