"It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you."

Great end for a fantastic trilogy!

With Back To The Future we had an amazing first film, a sequel could have been a problem. Is very difficult to make a sequel as good as the first film. That didn't happened with Back To The Future Part II, it continued to be amazing. Thinking about another sequel after two successful films is even more difficult and in my opinion Back To The Future Part III is indeed the weakest of all three but that doesn't mean that is bad because it was a very fun ride once again!

This time we travel back in time to the Old West that is portrayed beautifully. That atmosphere makes it different from the other two films, so it kinda looses a little bit of the 80's charm of the previous films.

In one hand, I really like the fact that we don't know anything more about what will happen to the characters in the future but on the other hand it makes me a little sad to see that the amazing Marty and Doc team will never cross each other again. Because we know that this is the last instalment of the francise, it's very interesting to feel the nostalgy that is very present throughout the film.

Back To The Future films are one of the most fun and amazing adventures that cinema ever saw and they will always be great classics. Robert Zemeckis deserves all the credits by what he accomplished with this trilogy.

Oh, I know you did send me back to the future. But I'm back! I'm back from the future.

Doc Brown is back in 1885 in the Old West, soon to be joined by Marty who has found that Doc is in mortal danger from Burford "Mad-Dog" Tannen.

Rounding out what turned out to be a hugely popular trilogy, Back to the Future Part III restored the core essence heart of Part 1, whilst simultaneously tying up all the threads with a fully formed story. More sedate in its telling {not hard following on from the manic pacing of part 2} part 3 fuses science fiction malarkey with, well, Western malarkey. All played out with the usual array of clever jokes and series reprises, only in a Wild Wild West setting. An interesting point to note is how the roles of Doc & Marty have been reversed from the first film, here Marty is the maniacal plot axis, whizzing around getting into scrapes as Doc ambles around in love, courtesy of the delightfully classic looking Mary Steenburgen as Clara Clayton. Thomas F. Wilson returns for villain duties as Tannen, a Western bully villain pulled straight out of many a classic Oater from way back in the day, and Lea Thompson & Elisabeth Shue ensure the "past" is not forgotten.

When Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale started making Back To The Future in 1985, could they have envisaged that they would make three films and end up with a steam engine time machine in the Wild West? Possibly not, but as part 3 hurtles {literally} towards its suspense laden finale, two things are for certain. One is that they wisely closed the series down with a surefire coda winner. Two is that between them they crafted one of the most entertaining family trilogies to have ever graced the screen. No doubt about the fact that part one is the uniformly class act of the three, but parts two & three themselves reward groups of all ages. Great Scot indeed. 8.5/10

As with Part II, I've come to appreciate this one more, a great blend of sci-fi and western and features once more some fine performances from both Fox and Lloyd, who each do great work portraying different characters (or at least for Lloyd a different time version of Doc Brown). Beyond that, well done set and costume designs and a good enough story to conclude the trilogy. **3.75/5**

Well I had more fun with this third and final Installment than I actually thought I would.
It is a solid conclusion to rap up this Awesome trilogy.
Even though part 3
Is the weakest of the three and it was definitely Time to close the lid and call it a day with this franchise, they did a solid job at rapping it all up.
Kudos for saying no more and sticking to it, even going as far as putting a ban on any reboots are fourth Installments being made. No cash Garbage Woke Grabs and for that you have my upmost respect.

Part one was a solid entry
Part 2 was my favourite and a really strong sequel
and part 3 was a lovely even soppy farewell to the time travel exploits of
Doc and Marty.

When these movies originally came out I had the honour for my Dad to take me to see them at the cinema which was called
Crystal Peaks where they was showing all 3 movies
Back to Back and me and my Dad sat there for over
8 hours in the Cinema and watched them one straight after another and it was frickin Awesome, I was so young at the time and funnily enough my Dad never took me again, it was my Mom from then on lol.
But I will never forget that first Major cinema experience of watching
Back to the Future 8 hour Marathon.
And now decades later I own them on Blu Ray boxset,
who knows maybe in a few years time on my next rewatch I may just do the Marathon
again from the
comfort of my
Captains Chair.

There is no denying that these 3 movies are lightning in a bottle and they are movie magic such as we will never see the likes of again.
Timeless Classics.

THE PAST WON'T KILL YOU,
THE FUTURE DEFINITELY WILL,
SO ALL THAT MATTERS
IS HERE, RIGHT NOW
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS IMPORTANT.

THE END

"Marty" (Michael J Fox) is stuck in 1955 when he learns of the untimely demise of his mentor "Doc. Brown" (Christopher Lloyd) back in 1885. Luckily, the DeLorean is on hand and back he goes - to the wild west - to try and prevent this calamity. Once there, he has no idea how to get back; a task not made any easier by local bully "Mad Dod" (Tom Wilson) who has it in for this meek city boy from day one. Spielberg is at his best with stories like this, and borrowing heavily from the Western film genre - and quite a bit from Clint Eastwood too, we have a quickly paced an amiable adventure film as Fox and Lloyd have to stay alive whilst figuring out how to charge the flux capacitor and get themselves home. Wilson is super as the "baddie" and Mary Steenbergen gives the "Doc" a little bit of love interest as the story ticks along nicely. These three films fit nicely with each other, and happily they all decided to hang up their stetsons after this one. It's still great fun 30 years later, with fun pithy dialogue; loads of great action photography and strong entertaining performances all through. Good fun.
