Summary: Who the h*** is John F. Kennedy?!
Review: This trilogy is the definitive classic (for all 3) comedy, complete with great plots, mind-blowing scenarios, acting, and the best comedy someone 99 or 19 can get. Although the DVD's could've done better with the menus, they still are loaded with great featurettes, behind and deleted scenes, and outtakes. The Q & A could be better, since you have to watch all 3 movies to hear it all on a different audio setting on all 3DVD's, yet it is still interesting (for a one-time viewing). The other features are also on a different audio setting and I haven't listened to them yet, because i dont want to get tired of the movies. Other than that, this is a must for any fan old or new!

Summary: Are there yet?
Review: These Dvd's were great! The Quality was amazing and the special features kicked ass!Get this if you saw the first one and loved it, The Whole Trilogy RULES! They did good by getting Micheal J. Fox as Marty McFly and I loved the fact that he got to see his parents at his own age 30 years back.
I love these movies. The second was even better, I loved how they could mess up the past,...by going to the future? Thats's awsome, The third one was awsome. That's all im gonna say believe me buy this it's great!!!!!!

Summary: Version 2 Now Available in Store!
Review: Well, it only took a year, but the corrected version 2 of BACK TO THE FUTURE the complete trilogy on DVD (widescreen) is now available in store! I gave up waiting and decided to buy the widescreen version (which was mis-framed on parts II and III) and buy it thinking that I would have to mail back discs II and III for a replacement. To my surprise, it is now available in stores! I bought my copy and there was an oval shaped, half green and white sticker on the front that read "Widescreen Remastered" and both disc 2 & 3 had the tiny print of "V2" on the disc right next to the copyright on the bottom of the front! Well, this is great news that I wanted to share with everyone who was waiting for this DVD to show up in stores! Now I have a full "version 2" BTTF DVD set without having to go through buying the DVD set and exchanging it through the mail!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great to see these films again after all these years
Review: The DVD is an ideal medium for box sets of this type. The films look great, sound great, and there's the nice bonus features to keep the fans of the film entertained for many additional hours. There are two commentaries per DVD, and luckily the participants in the commentaries (Zemeckis, Gale, et al.) are interesting and have some good stories/insights. There are also a number of little documentaries, on a variety of topics.

Clearly, the first Back to the Future is the jewel of the series - fun, fresh (at the time), with outstanding performances that catch just the right spirit. Both Michael J. Fox (as Marty McFly) and Christopher Lloyd (as Doc Brown) get right into their characters and we have fun because they are having fun. The time travel is pretty simplistic and follows the one timeline rule - if you change something in the past, the future you know will be altered by it (see the Terminator films, Star Trek, etc.). However, the filmakers wisely avoid explaining time travel in detail, which is a smart move because it isn't really a science fiction film, but a comedy.

Back to the Future II is much more a polished exercise in filmaking, and it feels somewhat like a technical exercise. Because the timeline winds back and forth between 4 time periods (including two different versions of the year 1985), it certainly benefits from a second or third viewing. Watch it to admire the technical skill, and the deft juggling of the time travel - Marty gets to watch himself play at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, for example - and try to avoid the cynical thought that the filmakers are just trying to repackage the 1st film to make more money.

I was very disappointed in the third film when I saw it in the theatres, but it's growing on me since then. It is still the weakest of the three - it's a little thin on plot and the dialogue is definitely below the standard of the first two. However, it comes together with a fitting if artificially cheerful conclusion at the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy
Review: This set is perfect for spending most of a day (into the evening hours) being entertained. My personal observation is that 2 and 3 were MORE entertaining with more special effects and "cliff hanger" moments - the train reaching maximum mass as the doctor and then the female climb along the side of the train trying to catch up to the DeLorean Time Machine and finally resorting to the skate board from the future to hop in at the last second!
As far as the blacked out faux paux on Discs 2 and 3 I didn't notice it. I had borrowed this set. So I'm not too upset by it and will wait until after the date mentioned to buy my set.
The extra disc is full of information on the making of the movies, that most will find enjoyable.
Overall, an entertaining set of movies with very few shortcomings. I anticipate viewing these movies over and over.

Summary: The Best Trilogy Ever!
Review: Part I:

This is one of my favourite movies ever and that's why I decided to buy it...
There are two actors in this movie that I like: Michael Fox and Christopher Lloyd. I have seen this film many many times but I still enjoy watching it. Neither one of them was famous but after this the world knew them. Of course Spielberg has been famous for a long time.

This story tells about a man, Doc (Lloyd), who tries to invent everything possible. He has all the machines from dog feeder to...time machine. He build a time machine which he has invented after hitting his head in the bath. The time machine is actually a car where is computer and his equipment. He tries to travel in time to the future...but the Libians are after hime (he stole plutonium they own). Eventually the boy, Marty (Fox), escapes the Libians with the car (time machine) and after 88 mph he is in a year which is the time his parents met. He makes sometihing terrible: He saves his own father who should have been hitten by a car...but now Marty is hitten by a car. His own mother is now in love with him...and that's a lot of mess. Marty finds Doc who doesn't know him yet...now Marty has to go back in future...but only Doc can help him because there is no plutonium...and Marty has to also bring his parents together. This movie's most important lesson is that everything we do, has a great impact on everything and future may look better or worse if we do something...so watch out...everything you do...can change MY LIFE!

Part II:

This is a great film! It is a straight sequal to "Back to the Future I". Again the same main charachters, same actors are making a very good film.
Now Doc has become back from the future and he wants a youn g boy Marvin and his girlfriend, Jennifer, travel to time because their children will be prisoned if they don't do somethin'
Well, there's a very interesting future seeing. They prevent the happenings but one dude, Biff, stoles the time machine and travels to the year 1955 and gives to himself a book: sport results 1955-2000. That causes problems...when Doc and Marvin return, Marvin's life has changed...his dad is dead...they has to go back to the year 1955 again...and prevent the happenings. After doing that, the lightning strikes to the time machine..and...

This is a great movie, if you like part I, you will probably like this one too. I think this is a little bit better than part I.

Part III:

This is the final part of "Back to the Future" trilogy...now Marty has come back to the year 1955 where is the young Doc who has sent him just back to the year 1985. At first Doc can't believe his eyes when he sees Marty...but after seeing the letter which his older self sent, he understand. He's now...or was in 1885 in old west but then they found a history book where is told that he will be killed just after being a week there. Marty has to go and save Doc's life. He travels again by time machine and finds Doc...but then he must fight with Tannen, who is a bad boy...they have to get 88 mph somehow but how? Well, watch this film, the same actors again...but there's also a teacher Clara Clayton who has a great role in this story...a happy end or...what?

There's also very much extra material. There's deleted scenes and failed scenes. There's pictures, making the movie, showing some parts of the movie and picture-scripting together. There's also ZZ-Top's music video! There's bonus matertial in every DVD more than you want!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb!
Review: I found none of the format problems mentioned by other reviewers. However, if you are ordering from Europe, you must have a zone-free DVD player AND a TV that's NTSC compatible. If the TV isn't compatible, everything will be in black and white.
