Description of Back to the Future Part III:
Shot back-to-back with Back to the Future II, this final chapter in the series is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Michael J. Fox's character ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of a gunman. Director Robert Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western, and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh
Back to the Future Part III Reviews:
A Bit Flat, But Still A Good Ending To A Masterpiece Trilogy 
2009-12-14 - The first two films in the "Back To The Future" trilogy explore the concept of time like never before. Viewers are taken to two different versions of 1985, twice propelled back to 1955, and even catapulted into 2015 for a short time. The character continuity is incredible, the acting is inspired, and so many different genres are incorporated that the films are nearly rendered perfectly genre-less. Obviously, it would be tough to beat the energy of those two incredible films, and (while this film gives a valiant effort) it just doesn't quite make it.
Basically, the plot of BTTF 3 is set in the Old West (1885, to be exact), where Doc Brown was transported to at the end of the second film. Ignoring the Doc's instructions, young Marty McFly instead repairs the time machine and goes back to bring Doc back home. The three obstacles in his way: Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (the most hated gunslinger in the West), Clara (Doc's new love), and an empty tank of gas in the DeLorean.
Though this movie won't leave you feeling utterly disappointed or anything like that, as it has its moments of greatness, it just falls a bit short of the magic created by the first two efforts. Perhaps the biggest culprit is the flatness of the jokes that were funny in parts one and two, like the "wake up" scene and the Tannen family "manure curse", but became somewhat stale the third time around.
Another shortcoming, oddly enough, was the fact that the film has more to do with character-development than its two previous successors. The Marty-Doc friendship is on center stage, while Doc's new-found infatuation with Clara is a major part of the storyline. While usually that kind of character-building is essentially in films, it is kind of wasted in this case, as fans knew the end of the trilogy was at hand and thus the relationships would go no further.
However, though I have touched on a few of the reasons why this film doesn't match the sheer brilliance of the first two, please do not hesitate to watch it and complete the most inventive film trilogy in history. It is not a dud by any means, and certain viewers may even find it more enjoyable than "Part Two", as it isn't as complicated and the jokes are a bit more obvious.
EL FUTURO SERA LO QUE TU HAGAS AHORA 
2009-11-11 - Con este increible y sabio mensaje comienzo mi opinion acerca de una de las mejores terceras partes que he visto en mi vida; de 1985 nos fuimos a 1955, y ahora regresamos hasta 1885!!!; hay elementos infaltables, desde nuestro joven Marty McFly (Ahora alias "Clint Easwood"), el divertidamente loco profesor, el tipo grosero y rudo que ahora es un bandido del oeste (aunque el actor es el mismo que interpreta al abusivo "Beef") y hasta vemos EL RELOJ!!! (que en ese momento era recien inagurado); la historia, al igual que las anteriores, te mantiene amarrado al asiento, llegando a momentos criticos y hasta llenos de adrenalina y ansiedad;la mas agradable novedad es esa profesora dulce, tierna y sincera de la cual nuestro profesor se "enamora", por la cual experimentara por primera vez este sentimiento; una pelicula que nos deja un magnifico sabor a "western", rompiendo el molde de sus antecesoras (y de una magnifica forma) y cerrando con un final muy comico e impactante una de las mejores trilogias del pasado siglo XX.
A Most Excellent Sequel
2009-05-07 - Excellent! Almost as good as the first Back To The Future! Brings all the installments into focus and finishes the trilogy in fine fashion.
Saddle up Cowboy... it's a Wild West adventure for Doc and McFly.
2009-05-04 - As soon as Marty and Doc get ready to go back to 1985 from 1955, the Delorean is hit with a lightning bolt and sends Doc somewhere in time. As Marty is standing there in 1955, confused on what to do, a mailman comes up to him, handing him a letter addressed to him, from 1885, from Doc. The letter says that he hid the Delorean in a cave, and to use it to get back to 1985 and to not come to 1885 to rescue him. But when Marty finds out that Doc dies from a gunshot to the back, he decides to not listen to Doc and head back to 1885 to save Doc from dying. But when he arrives in 1885, he busts his fuel line, leaking out all the fuel. And in 1885, there is no gasoline. So while Doc and Marty try to figure out how to get back to 1985, they must also try and not die by the gun of Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, the relative of Biff.
While part 3 feels like part 1 and 2, it almost feels totally different. It being more of a western has a big hand in that also. And I love westerns, so I love part 3. Honestly in my review of part 2, I said part 1 is probably my favorite, but I really don't know. I love all 3 parts equally because even though they all have the same premise, they are all so different at the same time. In part 3, I absolutely loved the character of Buford Tannen. He was absolutely hilarious. And he really felt like he was a bad guy from back in the west. The way he talked and the way he looked. I also liked how a lot of part 2 hinted at parts of part 3 (since they were both made back to back). For instance, Marty sees a picture of his great grandfather in part 2 and he says something like "Good looking guy", but in part 3 we find out it was really Marty himself. And definitely one of my favorite parts of all 3 movies is here in this movie. The final scene with the train trying to get the Delorean to the future was done really well.
For the final part of the trilogy, I really couldn't have asked for more. Definitely a great ending to a great trilogy that will be loved for a long time by children and adults. OWN THIS!
P.S. - So why didn't Marty and Doc just go to the cave that Doc put the Delorean in to siphon gas from it to put it into the Delorean that needed gas instead of trying to use a train to get it to the future. DOH! =)
the most optimistic sequal
2009-03-21 - i like the optimism in this film.when the lightning strike the delorean and doc is gone,it was sad and depressing in the end of bttf 2 and marty was all sad and looks like he is stuck all alone in 1955...but then again there is the other doc of 1955 that can help him-all he has to do is explaining this doc all the story and make him help.
and ofcorse,the important sentence and idea of this film and whole the trilogy-that the future isnt written and it is what u make of it. if time travel was a reality we could really write the future and present as we want them,but since its not the case the least we can do is getting control on what we do now in order to build a better future for ourselves-being more assertive to get what we want,then we will achieve the success and we will have a beautiful future.we make our own destiny and not only the circumstances or luck.
plant good seeds now now for a blooming future!:)
