Among the plethora of innocent charms on offer, there's the near perfect script by Zemekis and Bob Gale which not only negotiates its time travel paradoxes with deft, exuberant wit but invests the light-hearted plot machinations with a seasoning note of honest drama.
watched it when I was 4 years old since then I watch it 12 times a year for some reason all 3 parts its my most Favourite movie of all time and till now nothing came close to its beauty in my personal opinion the only other movies were interstellar or Akira
I just love this film, it's just a flawless piece of entertainment that just continues to impress after all these years.
Along with Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Sting, this is in my top three favorite films of all-time with the iconic performances of Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd (and the rest of the cast), the rousing score by Alan Silvestri (kudos must also be given to the great soundtrack), fast pace and great story. This is just pure imaginative entertainment :-)
Back to the Future doesn't exactly leap out of the starting gate, and some scenes are strung out by gimmicky editing. But the story picks up steam as it goes along, and the last third is especially full of speedy surprises. [3 July 1985, p.23]
Mr. Zemeckis is able both to keep the story moving and to keep it from going too far. He handles Back to the Future with the kind of inventiveness that indicates he will be spinning funny, whimsical tall tales for a long time to come.
I just don't know how all this sweetness and light will go down with a teenaged movie audience presumably gung-ho with Rambo - especially now that he's got the presidential seal of approval. And that's no joke, son! [3 July 1985, p.58]
Retour vers le futur, c'est un gros épisode de Happy Days avec ses années 50 niaises, l'insupportable petit Michel J. Renard et le gros lourdaud à ses basques. Heureusement que le Docteur Foldingue tout droit sorti de son asile est là pour aider le nabot ! On pourrait éventuellement trouver à ce film le mérite d'avoir mis un échec commercial que tout le monde avait oublié au goût du jour et de la mode (la Delorean dessinée par Giugiaro et propulsée par ce vieux PRV, notre honte nationale à nous) mais... c'est tout.
Son humour gnangnan à la Fonzy (ils l'ont oublié le pauvre ?), ses situations sur le voyage dans le temps qui recyclent tous les clichés existants depuis 100 ans font de Retour vers le futur une pauvre pantalonnade mal dégrossie qui ne se bonifie pas avec... le temps, bien au contraire. Le film souffre de surcroît de nombreuses baisses de rythme, ce qui n'améliore pas son visionnage, une pénibilité qui devrait être reconnue par la sécurité sociale pour l'abrutissement des masses qu'il provoque.
