Back to the Future vs Star Wars
1 July 2005
Back to the Future is an above average movie, and I especially enjoyed the first 30 minutes, when my eyes were totally glued to the screen. I think the movie successfully spans the genres of Sci-fi, Comedy and Adventure to come up with an original feel that appeals particularly to teenagers and young adults...

After watching Back to the Future Part II for 30 minutes I could already see that it didn't match its predecessor. Repetition was rife and one of the characters (Jennifer) was put to sleep early on, which was surely a sign of a plot lacking direction. Don't think I'll bother watching Part III...

I read a review a while ago suggesting that the Back to the Future trilogy was better than the Star Wars trilogy. I have to say, on the basis of what I've seen, I don't agree. Star Wars was an altogether more mature movie experience about life, the universe, and everything. Back to the Future is just good fun.
