This was the only one of the three "Back To The Future" movies I did not enjoy watching, even when I loved the other two (which I don't particularly now).
The reason this film wasn't fun to be was that the annoying bully, "Biff", played effectively by Thomas Wilson, had a much bigger role than he did in the other ones. This guy was so annoying, he ruined the story for me. They even had him (the same actor, too) playing his son "Griff" in the future. Thanks to him, this BTTF Part 2 had a mean edge to it. I wanted an adventure-comedy, not a nasty movie. There was too much emphasis on this villain instead of the lighthearted fantasy that made the first movie such a hit. The writers much have realized this dark formula didn't work as they went back to form for the third in this series, making it a lot funnier and fun to watch. This one was a bummer.
