The Story:
Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) heads back to 1885 to rescue Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) before he can be murdered by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson). Doc was content to live out his days in the Old West, but murder has him rethinking those plans. However, when he meets the new school marm (Mary Steenburgen), the decision to leave becomes much harder. Time's ticking though, and if they don't get out of there, it's likely that neither one will ever make it back to 1985 in one piece.
That's how you end a trilogy.
Following on the heels of Part 2, the third installment brings the warmth and fun back to the series that the 2nd part seemed to lack.
It's bright...it's fun...
And they open up the cool paradox aspect of traveling even farther back into the past than they had ever gone before.
The changes that they will make are subtle, unlike the alternate future Biff created in Part 2.
Then they end on a bittersweet high note with the destruction of the DeLorean... but the ability to time travel still intact.
Will there ever be a part 4? Doubtful. Nor should there be.
There should also never be any remake attempt for this franchise.
That's the kind of blasphemy we just don't need.
Final Grade: A-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Own it. Love it. Seen it many times... not as many as the original...more than the 2nd. Go figure. :)
