Since when has it been the trend to shit on the Back to the Future sequels? I always liked all three.

I agree. BTTF II & III are good sequels, as they don't fall in the 'shit' sequels category for me. They both lack that magic of the original, but BTTF II is very innovative and had a cool story, because what would anyone do if they had a time machine? Go back and bet on sports and become a millionaire!

Superman III & IV are shit sequels, movies that I saw once, and never ever want to see again. I think it was Superman IV where Superman addresses the United Nations? Even as a teenager I was like, WTF???

Yeah, I love the BTTF sequels as well. BTTF Part II was the first one I saw, so I have to have a fondness for it, although I now see it's not as timeless as the original. While some might write off the plot as being lazy, I find it intriguing the idea of going back into the events of the first film and seeing them from a different angle (even though I've long since noticed all the timing inconsistancies between the two versions, it's still done very well). And while the climax of Part III can be interpreted as unnecessary (there's no longer any pressing time constraint, so they don't need to derail a train!) it's still a lot of fun.
