	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"An excursion into various versions of the past and future that is so baffling that even the characters are constantly trying to explain it to each other (...) And yet the movie is fun, mostly because it's so screwy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"It's impressive entertainment, and best of all, it never degenerates into Spielbergian sentimentality: you can laugh, be thrilled and think without feeling embarrassed"	POS

United Kingdom	Tom Tunney Empire	"Not as good as 1 or 3 but solidly entertaining (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ira Robbins Entertainment Weekly	"The second installment of Michael J. Fox’s time-travel adventure is very nearly as good as the first."	POS
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"In order to make the plot even semiintelligible, writer Bob Gale and director-cowriter Robert Zemeckis have to turn all these characters into strident geeks and make the frenetic action strictly formulaic"	NEU
