I'm one of those people who kind of really only really watches the first movie. To me, the first movie has that cult classic feel to it, while the sequels just don't hold up as well. The jokes aren't as funny, and the story isn't as interesting.
I think my main problem with the second movie is that it tries to fit too much story into one movie. We get a trip to 2015 in order to save Marty Jr. Then, after that's done, oh no, 1985 is evil now. We have to figure out what's wrong. Then once they figure out what's wrong, we have to take yet another trip to 1955 again. Granted, this was the most enjoyable part of the movie, given that we had to see Marty avoid his other self. But at that point it felt like overkill, as if the movie should have been done by then. I guess it could be worse. There was originally only going to be one sequel, with the Old West adventure being the last half-hour of the movie. That would have been a huge disaster.
In my mind, they should have split the second film into two movies, ending Part 2 with Marty realizing that Hill Valley has changed for the worst, and then having the plot of Part 3 be the adventure to destroy the almanac. If they still wanted to do the Old West storyline, they could have done a Part 4. It would have worked so well.
