Hell, Short Circuit 2 did a better job than BttF 2.

BttF II, unfortunately, is on par with Speed 2: Cruise Control.

 =;

Oh no you didn't.
:( I was particularly harsh, wasn't I? Not one of my finer moments :). But it was fun to tease you.

Anecdote: My friend convinced me (and lots of fellow students) that he had a mail-order catalog with the "surfboards" that were in BttF II! He said he ordered one! We wanted to believe him! He was really good at convincing folks... but he kept forgetting to bring that damn catalog in... kids would ask him, "Hey, did your hoverboard arrive yet?"

I don't know if kids in middle/high school today would be so gullible, but we were :).

What school did you go to again?

A kid at my school said the exact same thing! I never believed it but lots of other kids did. Truth is, I think the kid making the claim wanted it to be true so bad he actually started believing it himself.

Dude I've been watching Back to the Future 1 and 2 like every night for the past month! I think Back to the Future is like my all time favorite movie.

Anyway, I think Back to the Future Part 2 is about as good and perfect as a sequel can get and when you take into consideration of how the first one ended, the two Bobs did an incredible job writing a sequel for that, with Jennifer being in the DeLorean and all. Biff Tannen was an unbelievabley good character in the sequel, which made it a big highlite of the movie for me as well as seeing the future and Marty having to go back to 1955 again while avoiding himself. Awesome, awesome stuff and I think BttF2 has the most amazing special effects than any movie. I still slightly prefer the first one though since it's pure classic chram, but BttF2 was the perfect sequel.

It's a lot like Star Wars to me where the first one is a timeless fun adventure, the second one being an epic sequel, and the third being duller than the others, though I think BttF3 is much worse of a sequel than Jedi was. Strangely enough, my favorite parts of BttF3 and Jedi where the beginning and end with the middle being boring and silly.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Sorry, but BttF2 was crap. Lame. Not interesting. Outside of a handful of movies (Aliens? Wrath of Khan? Rambo II? Empire Strikes Back? ), sequels are weak. Sure, I'll go see them, but the greater the original film was, the harder it is for the sequel to attain even a fraction of its predecessor's greatness.

Of course, after all my ranting, I actually want to watch BttF II again!

Exactly Keranu, Ys II is about as good and perfect as a sequel can get and when you take into consideration of how the first one ended. :)

Wrong.

Ys II has been shamed by the reference to Back to the Future II. Ys II has been made a mockery.

I hold my head in grief.

What I'm saying is that Ys II is as awesome as can be considering that the first game wrapped up nicely at the end.

How is seeing a fun overly done future not interesting? How was it not great when Biff Tannen ruled the world in 1985!? HOW DID YOU NOT LIKE HYDRATED PIZZA OVENS!?!??! :)

Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale never intended to write a sequel for the first movie, but Hollywood forced them to. I am extremely amazed of how well of a job they did and it's one of the best sequels of all time. Personally I didn't think Rambo II was a great sequel since it was so different from the first, but it was an enjoyable movie nonetheless.

I really just want to rant about BttF II. I'm being a troll. I'll stop now :). I wasn't even paying attention to the Ys discussion once Keranu mentioned the movie :).

I'm going to rent this goddam movie this weekend to see if I can appreciate some aspect of it. :)

Impreciate?

Is that, like, appreciation of imps or something?
