RE: Broccoli, who seemed to have similar concerns as I did on 2015.

I didn't have any concerns with 2015. That was Mr. Laser Beam.

Oh, and and here's something else I didn't like about Part III:

"Marty, I'd really like to tell you what happens to you in the future that ruins your entire life, but I can't do that. We must all make decisions that effect our lives; everyone has to do the things they were meant to do. Well, everyone except for you kids."

Huh? :confused:

At the end of Part 1 and in the first act of Part 2 much time and energy is spent ensuring that Marty's kids do not ruin their lives (Marty, Jr. by going on the robbery, Marlene by trying to break out Marty, Jr.) Dco is very insisitant that they rush off to 2015 right away to save his kids even though they have 30 years to prepare for it and a time-machine that can travel to any moment in time. (Well, anytime between the year 1 and the year 9999 ;)) They rush off and go through a fairly elaborate plan to "save" Marty's kids. It's vitaly important that they do not ruin their lives.

Marty, however, can ruin his by crashing into that Rolls Royce as Doc pretty defiantly, and obviously, refuses to tell Marty this piece of information that causes Marty to loose his confidnce and to give up on his music (though the notion he would become a rock-star is silly and, frankly, not the future I'd want to see Marty have. But rather see the guitar as a symbol of his talent, creativity, and drive to do things) and become a push-over office drone.

Granted, the accident with the Rolls didn't necessairly "ruin" Marty's life in the same way that Marty, Jr. and Marlene ruin theirs, but it seems that if Doc is willing to alter Marty's kids' futures he should at least tell Marty not to go racing douches named "Needles" anytime soon.
 
I don't think any of it sucked. The third one is my favorite , I love westerns and I loved ZZ Top. I'd say I like 3,1 then 2

This actually makes perfect sense. Doc only has a window of a few minutes after Marty gets back to the present to catch him for the trip to the future. Why? Because Marty has to impersonate his son and he's about to be in a bad car accident and break his hand among other minor injuries. By the time he heals up enough to take the trip, who's to say if he will still be enough of a dead ringer for his son for Docs plan to work?

Doc's mere presence effects things. They can go inside, have coffee, knock out a plan, and then go to the future. At this point Marty still, apparently, has trouble being called a chicken so the crushing failure of his life is still likely.
