Robert Zemeckis directed and co-wrote this middle movie of the trilogy, as he did with Parts I and III. The weird thing is, I pretty clearly remember seeing the first movie in the theater and a few times after, but it feels like I've just seen the second and third movies in pieces on cable, over three decades. I watched the first quarter hour now and just wasn't drawn in. The first movie was a little hokey even at the time, but there was something fresh and sweet about it. This just felt, well, mechanical. I can see why I could never watch more than a scene or two at a time before. (And it's entirely possible that I have sat through the whole thing and have blocked it out, as I did for Ferris Bueller years ago, until I watched it all the way through the second time.)
