Back to the Future Part III review
Belated review (actually watched a week after Part II.
39. Back to the Future Part 3
Rewatch.
Starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Seamus McFly, Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown, Mary Steenbergen as Clara Clayton and Thomas F. Wilson as Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen and Biff Tannen. The conclusion to the Back to the Future saga, in which Marty McFly has to go back to the old west to rescue Doc Brown from an untimely fate. After the conclusion of the previous film, Marty finds himself stuck in 1955 without the DeLorean. However, Doc Brown has hidden the DeLorean in the past, so Marty can find it.
It is in the process of the recovery of the DeLorean that Marty and 55' Doc Brown discover future Doc Brown's fate. This whole sequence is well done. As is the sequence in which Marty goes back to 1885. The rest of the film is also good. The twists on the usual western tropes are particularly fun. However, the fact that Doc and Clara fall in love so fast (and it's implied that the same happened with Marty in Jennifer), without the Florence Nightingale effect, doesn't seem that believable (but that has been my experience).
Thomas F. Wilson continues to steal the spotlight as the outlaw 'Mad Dog' Tannen. A short tempered, opportunistic bully, the ways in which he antagonises, Doc Brown and especially Marty are quite believable. The way Marty grows from his experience in 1885 (and is able to avoid the car accident) is also well written. Doc Brown's final message at the end of the film one that should be remembered. 8.5/10.
