| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayUneven but still enjoyable, delivers a darker scenario than the ending of the first film would imply. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferSure, [Back to the Future II] has a clunky first act - which takes place in a hilariously overblown futuristic society - but the film knows just how, and when, to entertain us, and it does so in spades. |

| TimeRichard SchickelAll in all, Future II is another fantastic voyage in a thoroughly entertaining contraption. |
| CinencuentroSebastian Zavala KahnIt's simply a joy to be able to spend two more hours of fun with these great characters. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonTaken as a pair, the first two films ask a number of unresolved and unresolvable questions about causality, order, and intention; and taken as a pair, they're also a hell of a lot of fun. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksHas the spirit, but it lacks the heart of the original film, and more importantly, much of the humor. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinBack to the Future deserved a chance to come back, especially under the cheerful, enterprising, mathematically minded stewardship of Mr. Zemeckis and Mr. Gale. Their new film isn't an ordinary sequel. It's as if the earlier film had been squared. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI should have brought a big yellow legal pad to the screening, so I could take detailed notes just to keep the time-lines straight. And yet the movie is fun, mostly because it's so screwy. |
| Creative LoafingMatt Brunson1989's middle entry, in which the pair head forward to 2015, is the most underrated -- like fellow second child Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, it had to contend with doltish charges of being too cold. |
