The first Back the the Future was a teen movie, but the second was for grown ups. Layering it over the original, was a stroke of genius, both in the idea and in the execution, and all three movies are excellent science fiction to boot! Back to the Future 2 was slightly darker than either of the other two, but had more punch as well. Robert Zemeckis knows how to direct adrenaline-powered comic action like nobody else. He has all the subtlety and judgment of Spielberg with little bit more of a sense of humor. Thomas F. Wilson came into his role as Movie-Bully Icon. Didn't ever let a critic tell you that a one-dimensional character can't be played well. Biff, the white-trash high-school sadist has absolutely nothing redeeming about his character, and yet he almost steals this movie from Fox. Doc Brown's quirks and twitches are enhanced from the first movie and make him even more hilarious to watch ("Great Scott!").
