    It's everything you loved about the first movie mixed together with the fun of the classic 1950's western. Entertaining, action-packed, and funny.

    Not the best of the triology movies but still clever storyline and great characters. Doc is stuck in the Wild West and Marty goes back in time to save him.

    Every film should have a ZZ Top cameo in it! It gets a bit schmaltzy towards the end but this is a good finish to a classic trilogy.

    It was alright... not the best, but okay.

    This is the weakest in the trilogy for me, buts that cos I dont really like westerns. The look is well done and the idea again is really cool, the continuity is sooo good in this trilogy. Its still very exciting and probably funnier than the previous two but it lacks the punch. T...( read more)he story ties up nicely here and you are left wanting a fourth, the films are that good.

    Ok the third one doesn't suck. Everyone wants to rip on the thrid one why? Where did you want them to go? In the first one Doc says he always wanted to travel to the old west, so okay we're gonna shit on the movie cause it follows a linear path set from the first one!? C'MON MAN!!!

    Great film I really enjoyed this one.

    Tells the story about Doc who had a friend.His friend knew more about the past than Doc excpected and Doc was curious with why his friend knew so much.
    His friend showed him a letter that Doc had sent to h im years ago.Doc started thinkin...( read more)g why he would send that letter because Doc couldn't remember sending it and he didn't think he would write letters like that.
    Doc made a time machine that got him into a different place and a different year.Doc started thinking that he didn't belong there and told Claire that he met that he won't see her again because hes going back to the future in the year 1985 where he belongs.
    Claire gets upset because she liked him but in the end she goes on the train with him and does see him again.

    This film was very well delivered and is worth checking out.The acting performances were delivered very well and this film just doesn't have a dull moment.This film is original,fun and doesn't take itself too serious.

    Overall I'm going to reccomend this the acting performances were very well delivered and so was the story.Theres something here for all movie audience so please don't avoid this film.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Makes a few bows in the direction of time-travel complexities, and then settles down to be a routine Western comedy. full review

    This whole series is so damned great! I especially love the advice that Doc gives Marty in the end, "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one!" Three cheers to the cast and crew for making these great movies! Hip-hip-hurray! Hip-hip-hurray! Hip-hip-hurray!
