10 Reasons Back To The Future Never Improved On The First Movie

The Back To Future sequels never performed as well as the first film, and this has a lot to do with genre changes, overly complicated plots, and more.

I hate the way time travel films change their genre, by having the characters travel in time to the Old West.

Did Part III really change that much in comparison to the first movie?

I mean, they’re both period drama/comedies with time travel and a key goal of getting back to the present except the first is set in the 1950’s and the other 1880’s.

reply

That's pretty much it. I mean, there was a love interest for Doc. But other than that, pretty much the only difference between the first and the third is the year that they are in.

reply

I disagree. I feel Part III gave more development to both Doc and Marty (especially Doc) and focused more on their friendship than the previous two movies.
