Back to the Future Part II (1989)


This kind of cartoony film was in vogue for a while, I guess, but it's just not for me at all. I don't understand the fake punches and phony violence and the mugging for the camera. This kind of thing happens in Terry Gilliam movies from the period and, I guess, all sorts of other 1980s movies too – Mad Max, Brazil, and Waterworld are other examples. I find this kind of thing so annoying. Back to the Future Part II's charms were all lost on me. I don't think I even cracked a smile during this; I certainly didn't laugh at any of the film's so-called jokes.
