THE Top Ten Reasons Back To The Future 3 is a good movie
10. The setting: The setting in Back to The Future three is so vibrant, and colorful. All of the little touches here, and there make it a convincing world. It also 
offers many new challenges, and potential gags. Who doesn't love the old west? BTTF 3 used its setting to its advantage and it really helped improve the story, which is why it is number 10.
9. The Acting: It is undeniable that the chemistry between Marty, and the Doc is still very prevalent
within the film. They expertly play off each other, and deliver some very entertaining, and fantastic performances. The supporting cast is also very good. Thomas Wilson shows some enjoyable range with the antagonist Mad Dog Tannen, while also displaying just enough traits of the "Biff" we all know and love. Mary Steenburgen also plays an over the top quirky love interest to Emmet, quite well. Overall there are some strong performances in the film, and no particular member of the cast does a terrible job.
8. Biff is taken to his logical extreme: As the BTTF films went on we saw the darker sides of Biff. Showing ho
w given the right situations he can be driven to cheat, and murder. Mad Dog is just the extreme, the evilest Biff could get. He is essentially a ruthless killer in this film,and has little to no remorse for the things he has done. It only makes sense that BTTF 3 would take him in a darker more menacing villain to fit the time period. It makes him an effective villain, and he is in my opinion well acted to boot.
7. It is an effective conclusion: It is really quite simple, it concludes the series (minus the cartoon series, but I like
to pretend like that is non existent). All ends are tied up, and ends on an upbeat, inspirational note. A happy ending for everybody. At the end of the day, that has to be worth something, a happy ending leaves you happy. It is also effective because it shows how the experiences and events the characters have been through has changed their outlooks on life. For example *spoilerish warning* Marty does not race needles at the end of the flick *end spoiler* this shows that he has finally over come his fear of being thought inferior....or "chicken".
6. Dialogue: There are some damn good lines in this film. Many of them are playing on the old running gags throughout the series....being called "yella bellied" instead of chicken, or Mad Dog messing up anoth
er simple saying. Besides those their are many other quotes that are actually meaningful, and somewhat inspiring. For example "It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your Future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you" really has a deep meaning, and implies the true symbolism the entire series was trying to tell us. Again fitting with the it is a good conclusion thing, it wrap up the symbolism, and themes of the series.
5. Doc finds love: Emmet Brown finally finds a woman suitable for his unique personality. Its a wonderf
ul display of love conquers all. They are separated by 100 years, and one has devoted his life to science. It is a beautiful twist on that age old love story. Marty has Jennifer, it was about time they gave Doc a happy ending as well.
4. Gags: Some may say this in a way fits with the dialogue but there are a variety of amusing, and hilarious physical gags. For example when Doc has a shot of whiskey, or when Biff falls into yet another tu
b of manure. Their are some quality gags, that always manage to put a smile on my face every time I watch them. They even do the Clint Eastwood protective armor gag. Which if you were paying attention in Back To The Future 2 was being watched by Biff in the hot tub scene. Some may fall flat, but the majority of them are hilarious, and highly enjoyable.
3. Clint Eastwood: I for one absolutely loved the Clint Eastwood name that Marty Assumes. It fits in perfectly for the time period, being Marty's frame of reference for western
times. At one point in the film we even see him delivering Clint Eastwood lines to a mirror, which is pretty funny on its own merits. He also uses the armor trick as previously mentioned in the Gag section. Also if you pay close attention to the end of movie when Marty is crossing the bridge in 1985 you will see that the ravine was renamed "Eastwood" ravine. Yes this is basically an extended version of a Gag but I found it entertaining enough to garner its own bullet point.
2. Music: My God is the music brilliant in this film. Alan Silvestri delivers a great old west type remix to the ori
ginal BTTF theme, also adding some entirely new sections of music. It starts up at the perfect times giving you a sense of wonder, and a feel of epicness when its played. The way it is used, and the way it sounds makes it an obvious #2 one this list. I mean seriously who doesn't love a good instrumental theme, and Silvestri delivers a great one on all accounts.
1. FLYING TIME TRAVELING TRAIN: There is a fucking train that travels through time. WHICH is awe
some in its on rights...but then it does the unthinkable. IT FLYS....making it a flying time traveling train. If you need to see the movie for any reason it is this. I mean how many times in your life can you say you will see a movie with that type of time machine. It warrants the creation of the entire film, and makes the ending that much more satisfying.
So this is my top ten list of Why Back To The Future 3 deserves critics, and the public respect. If you agree or disagree with my opinions leave a comment in the section below!
