Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

[Hatebox]

The film's opening is a huge clue that something is about to go really wrong with the film when it starts with a song-and-dance number complete with Rockettes-style flappers (and 90% of their dancing takes place where no one in the audience can actually see) and then 5 minutes later Indy throws a flaming skewer into a guy's gut right after being poisoned, his friend dying in his arm, and being taunted by Fu Manchu.

 

In fairness, Indy was a cold blooded murderer in all three films - and, tellingly, not at all in the 4th - but I would agree that Temple is generally all over the place.

I have seen the first three of Indiana Jones film. This one the weakest and a forgettable film.

**3/4 out of *****

 

One of the worst aged films from the 80's.  Still no problem with the dark aspects, though.

My.favorite Indy.

[John Marston]

not good except for one scene

[DAR]

I like it but I just never loved it. B

[BoxOfficeZ]

The weakest of the series. I feel the comical characters kinda fail at delivering the banter over and over, and the weird racism was not very helpful.

 

Action was good fun. A lot of nice dark scenes.

[Dark 33Legend of the Sith]

Wildly underrated and one of the great action films of all time.

A great action film and this film is actually very liked by those in the Indian community lol 

[Goffe]

I liked the little chinese guy and his relationship with Indy and the dark tone of some scenes. Disliked the monotonous action scenes (wouldn't have bothered me if there were less of it) and the complete silliness of some scenes.

Unfortunately, the bad far overweight the good
40/100

I didn't watch all the Indy movies all the way through until I was 15, in 2003 when the DVDs came out. I didn't grow up with them from childhood the same way I did with Star Wars or Back to the Future or Ghostbusters, but you bet I enjoyed them.

Can people stop using dark to desribe movies?
