Back to the Future review
Oct. 11th, 2015 07:26 pm35 Back to the Future
Rewatch
Starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown, Lea Thompson as Lorraine Baines McFly, Crispin Glover as George McFly and Thomas F. Wilson as Biff Tannen. The first film in the Back to the Future trilogy. The story of how 1980's teenager Marty McFly has to deal with living in 1955 and meeting his parents as teenagers after a time travel experiment goes wrong. Michael J. Fox does great as fish-out-of-water Marty as he meets his parents in the past, and then have to deal with getting them together.
Christopher Lloyd is also good as both versions of Doctor Emmett Brown, as he deals with the mysterious boy from the future, and has to figure out how to return him to 1985. Thomas F. Wilson is good as the school bully who has to deal with the mysterious 'Calvin Klien' who's getting in on his turf, as it were (and as George's bossy supervisor in the original 1985). Crispin Glover portrays the nerdy, unconfident George McFly in a way that is not giving a disservice to people who are like that.
However, some parts haven't aged well, like the way Lorraine is treated, first by Marty, then by Biff! While Marty was only going to pretend, Biff certainly was going to go through with it if George hadn't gained the courage to interfere the way he did. However, that aside, it is a movie well worth the rewatching. 8.5/10.
