Franchise Reviews - Back to the Future - Wrap Up

Looking over the Back to the Future films, I'd say it remains a pretty solid trilogy, even if the second and third films feel closer to each other than the first.

Something I do realise is that Marty doesn't really develop over the first film, but it's his parents who get the bulk of the character development, and it's a pretty fine development so it's not an issue. His fear of perceived cowardice introduced in the second film could have been tacked on in response to this.

Each film has plenty of jeopardy, but things always seem to work out in the end.  This actually gets mentioned in the third film, with Marty asking "Why do we have to cut these things so damn close?" Despite that, I still love the tension in the scenes.

All in all, they're all films I can watch any time.

And before I go, I'd like to share this video of Tom Wilson, who wrote a song about questions he's often asked about his role in the films:

Happy writing.
