A complete waste of time. A good commentary should provide information about the making of, insight into the thought process behind the scenes, or just be funny. This is none of those things. Instead, you get 2 hours of "Michelle was so wonderful in this scene. She's such a wonderful actress." or "Harrison was just so generous, so *giving*, such a giving actor".

For such a great movie filled with such visual trickery, I was expecting to find out all sorts of cool behind the scenes stuff. The one time Zemeckis even acknowledges one of his trick shots is during the shot that goes beneath the floorboards and looks up - and all he says is "I'll never tell how I did that one..." - yeah, thanks Rob. Cause you've been FULL of information so far.

Avoid this commentary, it'll just bore you rigid. And I *love* director commentaries normally.

Note: the above review is from the Region 2 (Europe) DVD release, which just has Robert Zemeckis on the commentary. I haven't heard the R1 commentary with him and the producer and the director of photography. If anyone can add a review of that version, please do.

The group commentary is alright. The guys discuss a lot of the thinking that went into creating this underrated movie and they are genuinly passionate about their movie. Nothing earth-shattering going on here, but a decent, solid commentary.
