I mean, I am wrong all the time.
What I am talking about specifically was being wrong about the Back To The Future sequels.
I have been saying that Part 3 is better than Part 2 for the past several things.
That’s just not accurate.
I rewatched both and walked away thinking Part 2 is the superior movie.
I still think Michael J.
That trailer above is the first look we all got at Back To The Future Part III.
It came up at the end of the Part II, which was released in November of 1989.
Having these spaced apart by only 6 months created Back To The Future fatigue.
Lord Of The Rings shot those three movies back to back to back.
That’s even wilder than what BTTF did because at least BTTF had a juggernaut first movie.
New Line Cinema had to have massive confidence in the LOTR and Peter Jackson to green light that.
They’ve since said if those movies didn’t work, it likely would have killed the studio.
Universal wasn’t under the same stress.
Everyone knew the BTTF sequels would be huge.
There was an over four year gap between the first and the second movies.
It also allowed the Michael J.
Fox sitcom Family Ties to end its run.
As for the movie itself, Part 3 really is a fun ride.
The ending train sequence is fantastic.
It is also just fun hanging out with Marty and Doc Brown.
Director Robert Zemeckis shoots this movie so beautifully.
you could tell he loved shooting a Western.
The landscapes are stunning and he does such a great job with the 1885 Hill Valley.
The other element that really works here is the Mary Steenburgen love interest addition.
It allows us to see a different side of Doc Brown and Christopher Lloyd is fantastic as always.
I have two issues with Part 3.
One are the endless callbacks.
Some fan service is an enjoyable and expected but this felt like every other line.
Of course, I say that and the one they added to Marty’s character is something I hated.
Making him freak out if he’s called a “chicken” seems so weird to me.
He’s not a 2nd grader.
Although he was a 28 year old actor playing a high schooler.
I wish they could have added a bit more complexity to Marty.
The original is one of the greatest movies of all time.
It’s Mickey Mantle.
Part 2 has some misses but takes some huge swings and often connects.
It’s Harmon Killebrew.
A quieter movie that feels a little repetitive at times but still is very enjoyable?
This is movie is Mike Mussina.
