Marty McFly embarks on his final time traveling journey in the third and final installment of the Back to the Future series. While not as classic as the original installment, Part III ventures into uncharted territory in the series as the trilogy ends when Hill Valley begins. Full of the same corny humor that has made the series classic, Part III does not disappoint.
Picking up right after Part II, Marty receives a letter from Doc Brown 70 years in the past. After the lighting struck the Delorean the Doc found himself trapped in the year 1885. He informs Marty he is quite well and that he should not attempt to rescue him but instead return to the year 1985. But when Marty discovers the Doc is murdered by Buford Tannen (ancestor of Biff Tannen), only days after the letter was written, he decides to go back in time and rescue the Doc before it's too late.
Back to the Future Part III is my second favorite film in the trilogy mainly due to the fact it's quite unique compared to the first two films, yet manages to stay true to the essence of the series. Part III focuses a little more on the character of Doc Brown, but is still full of some classic Marty scenes that are consistently entertaining. Other than the annoying high pitched voice of Mary Steenburgen, Back to the Future Part III is a fitting conclusion to the series and a lot of fun.
9/10

Plus, how many times do you get to see a flying train/time machine?
Love this one, zz top makes a comeo appearance!
My favorite is still the second one though.
Part II is actually my least favorite, although I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It goes well with Part I but as a standalone film it's a little out of place, you really have to watch both Part I & II together.
Yeah, I hear ya. I love it because of the special effects were so over the top and the future is so crazy. I never got tired of watching it as a kid, specially those scenes with the flying skateboards, that stuff amazed me.
Well, but it was Robert Zemeckis the man you call to for to when you want to make a movie that has ground breaking stuff in it.
Too bad he hasnt made anymore live action films, I wish he would hop back on the live action wagon and wow us with something mind blowing, he was always one of my favorite directors.
Yea I'm not sure why Robert Zemeckis is so stuck on animation. It's definitely good, but nothing like his live action stuff. I have a feeling it's cheaper and easier for him to do than attempting to match some of his classic films with today's price tag.
