       Marty (Fox) and Doc (Lloyd) go back to the future to fix problems there but even more problems ensue, so they have to go back to the past to fix problems so that the present… you know, wibbly-wobbly timey wimey.

       After a shaky start it pulls together to a story of sorts, thin to be sure but there are some amusing moments and some that are exciting. And some that are far too long. There’s a lot of same old same old.

       Entertaining enough but not as good as the first one. The curse of sequels.
