I generally dislike musicals (with some exceptions like Dancer in the Dark and Moulin Rouge!), but the Back to the Future franchise seems like a bad fit for a musical.

More so than most franchises, Back to the Future feels very tied to the zeitgeist of its time (80s to early 90s).

Then again, they made Joker 2 a musical (I recently found out about this and had to double check that this wasn’t a joke).

If you approach it as an unintentional parody, it can be fun.

I have a feeling this is going to be terrible. Hopefully in a “so bad, it’s good” kind of way, but I have my doubts.

I watched the remake first and I actually liked it more than the original (marginally). The original was great, but I honestly thought the remake was more entertaining (and I have no issues watching “older” movies).

The second one was solid as well, but as often happens with sequels, it didn’t quiet match the first one.

That being said, I am looking forward to the third one.
