Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Emilio M I'm impressed by this movie, really, it's great, definitely my Favorite. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: De Volta para o Futuro III#backtothefuture #devoltaparaofuturoElenco: @realmikejfox @mrchristopherIloyd @lea_thompson @elisabthshue @tomwilsonusa @jeffreyjweissman @mary_steenburgen Modelo: #ficção #aventura #comedia #westersDuração: 1h 58mAno: 1990Minha opinião: Clássico da década de ouro, os anos 80. De Volta para o Futuro I (85), II (89), III (2000) Fantástica triologia com Marty e Doc Brown. Este filme começa onde termina o 1º. Onde Emmett envia Marty para 84 e ele reaparece logo depois. Pois Emmett foi enviado para 1885 em uma época westers. E para poder retornar ao presente o carro terá que ser empurrado por um trem. MArty e logo que chega tem índios e exercito cavalgando em sua direção e bate a cabeça e acorda na casa de seus bisavós. E diz que se chama Clint e vai se encontrar com Doc Brow e explicar que ele viria a falecer, quando vai se preparar para voltar, Doc Brown se apaixona por Clara. Ela não acredita que Brown vem do futuro. Brown teria um duelo com Buff, mas as coisas se alteram e quem irá duelar será Clint. E no dia do duelo que tudo parece favorável a Buff, Clint tem uma surpresa na hora duelo que é ter uma chapa no peito e assim vence Buff que vai terminar no estrume. E agora MArty e Doc Brown tem que correr para pegar o trem e assim voltar para 1985. Mas como sempre existe as surpresas, Clara correr também para o trem. E assim Marty consegue voltar, mas Brown e Clara não. E quando MArty pega Jeniffer e explia oque aconteceu, eles retornam ao local onde Deloren foi destruído, quando aparece Brown com Clara e 2 filhos em um trem máquina do tempo. E assim termina esta triologia que se tornou um marco na indústria cematografica. E nunca mais vimos ou veremos, MArty e Brown. Uma ou deveria ser assim, para que uma obra, talvez deixasse de ser uma obra. Isso fica para a imaginação de cada fã.Roteiro e enredo diferente do 1º e 2º filmes aqui se passa no Velho Oeste, mas com a mesma recita de sucesso, salve que neste filme, vimos um maior destaque ao Doc Brown.Vale apena assistir? Sim e recomendo a triologia dele.Nota: 8,5 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Ryland C The best one in the trilogy!!!! I love how it focuses more on Doc's character!!!! Definitely a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
