We continue from the previous instalment: briefly sometime later; we find Marty McFly/other characters [Michael J. Fox:] he has to go back to 1885 to rescue Emmett "Doc" Brown/other characters [Christopher Lloyd:] this version of him, which is originally from 1985 is unaware that he is heading towards a difficult time in just less than a week, so Marty does not have too much time; to go back in time, find him and rescue him.

Generally speaking: the script/character developments; I have a problem with the script as Doc seemingly breaks his own rules of time travel, you know the ones that he has been telling us/Marty for two films; absolutely Marty brings it up and put him straight in a nice way, but now including the framework and pacing of this 118 minutes film; I am sure that it is a mixture between the script and the framework and pacing, but it just doesn't seem to have the same drive and enthusiasm of a specially the first instalment of this trilogy; it has to be said that I have just noticed, as it relates to the framework and pacing of these instalments have gotten less and less gusto as we progress through the instalments, obviously this is just based on an observation and my opinion.

Art, comedy and action; the landscape, wardrobe and accessories on 1885 had been given an excellent authentic approach, especially with Doc Brown's slightly modified gun. Meanwhile we do have some come comical moments such as on meeting the Doc again in 1885; as a sign of shock on what Marty is telling him, he leans back on this piano and accidentally plays some fitting music to accompany what is happening at this precise moment in this film, much later on we have this alcoholic drinks hangover remedy, even though yes Doc only has one drink and yes much later on we have history repeating itself with this animal waste on some level. The action; I really like Doc's modified gun, we have a practical use for the Moonwalker [synonymous with Michael Jackson,] but performed by Marty to miss bullets aimed at his feet, then to distract and finally to send the spit bucket up by using the floorboards like a seesaw and finally; we have two trains sequences; as you will see they both individually offer two different things; such as the first sequence is longer than the second; but individually or together they show real imagination and creativity of the highest order.

Character developments and performances; broadly speaking the character developments on face value are good, you know they follow a simple and effective layout, but as I referenced earlier; to have Doc Brown basically go back in time and change history, when we have heard not one but two films of him telling Marty not to do this based on dealing with the ramifications of this; this is a bit stupid, but then in fairness and balance Marty does it as well, but  he just doesn’t on a very small scale of confirming  things, as Doc does it on a gigantic scale and the performances of the entire cast are good.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; what with me struggling to keep away in the vast majority of as I have alluded to a good portion of this sequel, the character developments of which I have also discussed already, so I decided to withdraw a mark and go with this one. Yes absolutely when it is good; it is good fun, but let's just speed this up a little and say when it isn't; it is like watching paint dry and in hindsight infuriating. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 5 Winners including but not limited to BMI Film & TV Awards 1991 BMI Film Music Award Alan Silvestri and 11 Nominees also include but not limited to Young Artist Awards 1991 Young Artist Award Most Entertaining Family Youth Motion Picture - Comedy/Action
