The least of the trilogy, but still a solidly entertaining good time with the characters you've come to love.

A solid conclusion to the trilogy and, let's be fair, you need to watch all three considering the first two require watching the next one for a real conclusion. This one is a bit lack on the time travel and is really direct with it's references to other films but that's OK in my opinion because the references well done. Yes the first two are better but this one's still worth seeing but be sure to see the first two before this.

Ytadel | 8 93rd |
The weakest of the trilogy with a bullet, but it's still got Marty McFly and Doc Brown and the Delorean, so it's still good. Just with a kind of jarring Western motif pasted on. I'd still be lying out my ass if I said I haven't seen it a dozen times.

SlrSoapbox | 100 98th |
This is the weakest entry in the trilogy, but since they are collectively my favourite movies, they still get the same grade. The western setting and somewhat silly conflicts in this film are a major departure from the first two films, but what remains is a great examination of an unusual friendship (Marty & Doc) and how love can change everything.

Meh, if I had a time machine and could choose to settle in any time period, I sure as hell wouldn't pick the Old West. People died of stuff like Typhus and Diptheria and you had to shit in a hole in the ground outside. Anyways, this movie is OK but nothing special.

If it didn't have two solid films behind it I'm not sure it would hold up on its own, but it does and it's fun to see Marty and Doc in the old west, and the ending fits the series.

Grit | 76 82nd |
Back To The Future Part III is an excellent conclusion to the enjoyable trilogy. While at first 1895 may seem like an inferior setting, the familiar mix of comedy and action remains intact and is in fact added to by this wild west setting. Time travel antics may be somewhat lacking when compaired to previous installmets, but Part III more than makes up for it elsewhere, providing the series with some more great moments and an equally great ending.

This Trilogy is like Pizza. Even when it's at its worst, it's still streets ahead of pretty much most other options.

Leonardis | 90 65th |
Picture Back to the Future and its actors in the wild west and you've pretty much got this. The new leads and characters are welcome additions and I found this to be just as entertaining as the first two movies. Good movie, and a good sequel. My love for this trilogy will probably never die.

Jimmy Suede | 82 77th |
Being a fan of the first two movies (of course), and also a fan of westerns I came into this one with reserved expectations. There is a lot to live up to, and comedic westerns are tricky. I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a solid conclusion to the trilogy and the western is actually very well done. Costuming, sets, and portrayal of western life were excellent. It would have been better ending a couple minutes sooner than it did, but that's a minor quibble.

If you are watching this expecting a "final chapter" you will be disappointed. What you want to do, is watch it as a parody of the first two, that way instead of saying to yourself "what the fuck is this shit" you can just laugh and have fun.

The last part of the time travelling adventure and it still good. Besides better than the most of other movies of the same kind!

"So, Elisabeth, we want you to play Marty's girlfriend in Part II and III. Oh, what's that? Where's your part in Part III? Well, you get knocked out after II, so you're missing from the entirety of III until the end. No, no one will forget that Marty is spoken for during III."

Tripwyre | 69 58th |
I never much cared for this threequel as a child, though it's tough to say why I like it now. It's not just because simply being a part of the BTTF franchise inspires all sorts of good feelings, or that I've come to love Westerns. As a child, I didn't really think of Hill Valley itself as a character in the films, or track the changes it undergoes through each alternate timeline. It's quite clever and funny actually, and a lot of fun -- it just suffers from being not as fun as its predecessors.

Shmendrek | 2 33rd |
A real nosedive for the series in terms of quality. The old west setting is pretty boring, and Marty meeting his great great great uncle or whatever was stupid. I prefer not to think about this entry when I'm enjoying the first two. Needs more DeLorean.

Luna6ix | 77 61st |
The problem here is that while the first and second both took place in different times, continuing by going back in time to the 1800's muddles a great formula by side winding this into a partial western. It's still a good movie, but obviously the first two are better.

baljot187 | 65 28th |
The weakest of the Back to the Future movies, I felt like it really lost the sense of fun and wonder from the previous films and the ending was just atrocious. Still, they retain some of the humor and wrap up some loose ends from the previous films, but it can't beat the magic of the first one and the spectacle of the second one.

misterlizard | 88 94th |
The weakest of the trilogy, but as a conclusion it works very well in wrapping up the story. Again, there's never a dull moment in this part and it's still ridiculously entertaining; it just doesn't hit the highs of the previous two.

Ununnilium | 76 68th |
I think the reason people don't like this one as much as its predecessors is that it's a slower, more character-focused story, that really has Doc as its main lead. But that's what I've come to appreciate about it; both Doc and Marty get to change and grow as people, and we really get to see the impact of these truly weird life events on both of them. (Plus, a female character who has her own agency and significantly participates in the plot!? 1990, you spoil me.)

I loved this movie. My favorite of the trilogy. Setting 100 years in the past set it apart from how sequels are done. Inventive and funny with echos of popular westerns. A great conclusion to one of Universal best franchises.

Zemeckis has spoken against the idea of a Back to the Future remake/reboot for years; conveniently forgetting he's made two lousy ones already.

(Viewed in 2014): Shot back to back with Part II, conventional wisdom has it that III is superior to II because the latter was rushed and confusing. II did suffer from a glut of ideas, but III has the exact opposite problem: it lacks ambition. The Western setting wasn't a terrible idea, but it isn't creatively utilized and often plays like a pilot for a corny sitcom shot on Hollywood backlots; Doc's romantic sub-plot also drags. It is the worst in the series, but it's worth it for fans.

nobamba | 50 45th |
Pretty cheesy throughout and easily the worst of the trilogy, though it doesn't ruin a trilogy. The heart of the movie is still the relationship between Doc and Marty, but it makes everyone else one dimensional (Steenburgen is an okay addition). The train scene seems to take forever. The logic isn't the greatest but they go through decent lengths to wrap things up nicely. Fav scene: getting ready to travel back in time with Doc in '55 at the drive-in theatre.
