I have a very hard time understanding how someone
who disliked Goonies would be charmed by BTTF.
But what do I know...

Some of BTTF drawbacks: almost every SF idea in it was
recycled in SF books 10000 times at least. Some of
the more original ideas lack credibility 
(hitting 88 miles an hour at exactly proper point,
at exactly right moment????!!!!!!!).
Also, HOW WOULD PLUTONIUM GENERATE 1000000000000 watt?
Did they have nuclear explosion every time?

Anyway, disregarding those things I would say that
the film provides same sort of entertainment as
Goonies - at slightly lower quality.
It is oriented for slightly older kids, with character
development at definite Porky's level.

I liked both flicks as solid summer stuff and would recommend them.
For whatever it's worth...
