SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Like with many movies that came out decades ago, there are some harsh realities of rewatching the Back to the Future trilogy. The adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown remain a beloved staple of the sci-fi and time travel genres, while many of the lines are still surprisingly quotable. However, other elements of the story haven't aged well, if they were ever well-received to begin with.

9 Back To The Future Part II Is A Close Copy Of The First Movie The Back to the Future movies recycle many plot beats. Close However, for people who are not huge fans of these sequences synonymous with Back to the Future, their repetition becomes annoying. However, aside from the fact that this scene of George is completely creepy, he is generally not a likable character. Marty is put off by how his father lets Biff push him around and worries that he could end up like his George. George's confrontation with Biff somehow leads to him being a "cool" husband and dad, but all his other scenes suggest that he is a stalker and a pushover.

Part II rushes through why, after Biff became incredibly wealthy, kids can't go to school anymore and the police just don't do their jobs. It also appears that Biff only wanted to take over Hill Valley, creating a very localized terrible future and prompting the question of why people don't just leave. Part II's version of 1985 is unrealistically terrible to be caused by one person from a small town having a successful betting streak.

Meanwhile, Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer also get married as adults, despite Marty's pride causing a lot of problems for them. Back to the Future makes high school romances permanent because it creates tidy jumps between the settings of 1955, 1985, and 2015. However, it would make more sense for these characters to have broken up and dated other people in their 20s, especially when there are some fundamental issues with both relationships.

The famous Back to the Future scene of Marty copying several guitarists while playing "Johnny B. Goode" at a high school dance several years before the song's release has a great energy that works well with the movie, but it is ruined by the tasteless joke. A phone call made during the performance seems to imply that Chuck Berry, at best, was inspired to write the exact same song, or at worst, copied it and sold it as his own.
