Archaeology and movies lethal combination - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

oooooo i love it i love it. if you don t then up your nostril. but hey its a good movie. people worked their butts off on this film.

Least favorite of the trilogy. - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the three. I didn't especially like the acting done by Kate Capshaw and it was almost a sci-fi movie. Harrison Ford was great but I liked the other two much better.

Cowabunga man! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Will the Real Slim Shady please stand up? Please Stand Up? Will the Real Slim Shady please stand up? Please stand up? Cowabunga dude! The best movie before Black Hawk Down. A must see!!!!!!

This movie stinks!! the story blows!! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

This movie starts out stupid, and just gets worse. I only continued watching it because I thought it had to get better, but it didn't. From the drawn out beginning with a dancing chorus line, to the horrible fight scenes, this movie bites. Near the end, he punches out three dudes on the altar of the temple during prime doom time and then suddenly the hordes of bad guys that were there go away. Then they stop for kisses and hugs, and walk casually half-way out of the temple, but then all the bad guys are back, except they're idiots. Then comes the roller coaster / mine cart scene which is kinda cool (girlfriend says "mildly entertaining"), but nowhere near redeems itself, because the stupidity is ongoing even through this. Then the rushing water which rushes past him when he steps into a side tunnel- uh, yeah! THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE STORY LINE BLOWS. If it had a good story line, you could forgive the purposeful corniness. But coupled with the fact that the action itself was worse than predictable-- he telegraphs his every move (sometimes 2 or three times), and the bad guys don't seem to catch on. You really have to struggle not to turn this movie off out of embarassment for the director (or yourself for continuing to watch). The kid and the girl scream loudly like idiots at all the wrong times. Next, the movie just doesn't progress-- in the previous movies Indie went from this maze to that trap to here and there-- most of this movie is stuck inside the ridiculous temple of dumb. Prior to that they go to a dinner at an indian palace where your suposed to believe that average indians are eating first slithering eel like things released from inside a dead python, then big cooked beatles, then eyeball soup, then frozen monkey brains, all as a backdrop to a lame conversation about the temple of doom. What was the point. It didn't make you feel like you were actually in an indian temple getting ready for adventure-- my god, we're stuck inside Indiana meets barfo-o-rama and the temple of dorks. Oh yeah, since when do insects and snakes squeek when you kill them? What was cool about the previous movies was the intrigue and sense of adventure based on semi-historical facts-- it just might be believable. This was just dumb.

Stinker - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

I was shocked on seeing the insensitivity and crudity with which indians are depicted in this movie. Spielberg better keep his mouth shut on the demonizing of jews in "The Passion of the Christ". One of the most disgusting and racially biased movies ever made.

Not what i expected - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

I am an avid fan of the 'Indiana Jones' series, and of all the films and such, I found this one to be not what I expected of the series' caliber. I thought that Harrison Ford was wholy robbed of his usual "good performance" by shoddy writing and even worse directing. The story was hack and the art direction was wholly unsatisfying, for an 'Indiana Jones' film. I would have expected much higher quality from Lucas and Speilberg. Bad choice, guys!

Damn this is a dissapointing movie - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Ok i cant bealive that this sorry excuse for a movie was ever made... where the hell did the asian kid come form and where is he in the third one.. i think they did a bad choice in casting people. the damn asian kid is an annoying idiot and the stupid chick is even worse... that damn movie sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another one line review. - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

WOW, Han Solo wasn't frozen all the time from Empire to Jedi, he came to India, ate a snake cooked with its babies inside, ate monkey's brains, ate some big-ass cockroaches, then stepped on bugs of all sorts, then got on a mining roller coaster ride, then fought a guy who LITTERALLY RIPS PEOPLE'S HEARTS OUT, WITH ONLY HIS TRUSTY BULLWHIP AND HIS WITS to aid him, plus he gets giggly with a blonde bombshell while a small Chinese boy watches, like I started this One Line review: WOW!!!

Outstanding! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

In 1984 I never would have guessed that any studio would have the awesome sound effects and visual effects the Paramount and Lucasfilm had! Totally awesome, a very memorable creation that will stay popular year after year! Everyone and every age will love this and the other Indiana Jones films.

The temple of dumb....uhh doom - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Alright, this is not the best Indiana Jones, in fact its the worst, but its not a bad film at all. Most ppl say Short Round is annoying I look at them and laugh and say nope THE FRICKIN' WOMAN is annoying. If she wasn't in this film, itd be great. The story is a flawed, I mean he's not really in search of any artifiacts, if you count those stones that light up, then yeah. But that wasn't his main concern. So, take my word on this, watch the other two. :)

Indiana jones 2 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Second of three movies. Very good with lots of action. It even has some good laughs and it will keep you entertained. This is one of the best action adventure movies of all-time.

Hollywood movie magic at its very best. - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

My opinion of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade could be deemed slightly biased. It is the first film I ever saw in theaters and it's also the first movie I purchased on video. I even own the same, worn-down, beat-up copy (and look upon it even more fondly than the widescreen edition, for sentimental reasons, of course) (but nothing beats the pristine quality DVD). I think it's fair to say it's this movie that cemented my love of cinema, the high regard I hold for great escapism, which is sorely lacking from today's cinema; movies that should be fun now drag or bludgeon themselves with relentlessly awful scripts or MTV-style direction that turns relatively simple scenes into chaotic blurs. The Last Crusade may only be thirteen years old, but I think I can safely say they don't make them like they used to. The film stars, of course, Harrison Ford as Indy Jones, the archaeologist/adventurer who's on yet another quest, this time to find his father, who'd been searching for the Holy Grail. Said Dad is played by none other than Sean Connery, whose highly charismatic performance is quick to place this film, acting-wise, above the others in the trilogy. The rest of the film focuses on this ongoing journey between father and son (eventually joined along by Sallah and Marcus Brody), complete with amazing action and stunt sequences, clever humor, and nasty (but fun) surprises. The script, by Jeffrey Boam, takes a few cues from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but actually improves upon that story by paying more attention to characterization. The delightful opening scene (all three movies really open with a bang, don't they?); which details how young Indy got his scar, whip, hat, and fear of snakes; makes for a better prequel than Temple of Doom (and any of The Adventure of Young Indiana Jones, for that matter). The story is engrossing because there's a lot of fun clues offered towards the location of the Grail and, thus, there's a lot of engaging little discoveries (love the "X marks the spot" scene). I'm quite certain, like with Raiders of the Lost Ark, the plot has a few holes, but they're fairly hard to notice, and I've seen this movie quite a few times, but maybe it's just my enjoyment of the film clouding that up. Either way, it speaks volumes in favor of Spielberg's direction and the performances. Given that action and adventure is the series' selling point, you can expect the thrills and wondrous delight of discovery delivered in spades. The action scenes are terrific (and matched well with John Williams' rousing, memorable score), the best being an excellent ten-minute setpiece on board (and in) a Nazi tank in a sensational chase sequence across the desert. I also loved the motorcycle chase and the Zeppelin setpiece, where the heroes go about dispatching of two enemy fighters in unexpected, but quite hilarious, fashion. The climax, complete with frightening booby traps, is a suspenseful venture into the unknown, which is the pinnacle adventure movies aspire to. The Last Crusade is far more humor-oriented than its predecessors, but part of the movie's effectiveness is that it's able to deliver belly laughs without defusing the tension during the action sequences. Some of the jokes are just brilliant, including one with Indy armed with a Luger in confrontation with a line of Nazis in front of him that's even funnier than the swordsman scene in Raiders (well, to me, at least). The supporting cast is all-around superb; John Rhys-Davies is back as Sallah, wonderful as ever and displaying a bit more enthusiasm searching for the Grail than he did digging up the Ark of the Covenant. The late Denholm Elliot also returns as Marcus Brody, the most loveable goof of a museum curator. Alison Doody is interesting as Elsa, the blonde bombshell whom Indy falls for; a twist involving her character and her actions towards the climax make her not as one-dimensional as she may initially appear. Julian Glover is the best of the main Indy villains, he's far more menacing than Paul Freeman's Belloq and less over-the-top but equally enjoyable as Amrish Pruri's Mola Ram. I also enjoyed Michael Byrne's performance as the Jones hating Colonel Vogel, who relishes in torturing Indy and his father. When it comes to pure delightfully nasty villainy, Byrne is even more fun to watch than Glover. Harrison Ford once again slides effortlessly into the role of Jones, but there's a catch. With the addition of Connery as his father, it reveals a personal side to Indy we haven't seen before. It's his rapport with Connery that strikes that spark that separates this from 99% of the genre. They craft an uncannily touching, funny, and genuine bond unlike any duo I've seen. You could call it a buddy picture, but one with genuine heart and emotion, something filmmakers Michael Bay or Jerry Bruckheimer could learn a thing or two about. The Last Crusade is pure Hollywood movie magic at its best and brightest.

A little different, but just as good - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

A lot of people don't like this Indy film because it was a little different, but don't think of them as a trilogy, but as 3 different episodes following the same character and you'll find it's just as great. The best score was in this one too.

People, this sucks! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Holy crap, 6 people have reviewed this(So far) and the lowest grade is an A-!!?? The first thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was that this tries to gross you out, and then tries to out do that gross out with something grosser, then something grosser, and so on. The room of bugs? No, thats not trying to top the snake pit from Raiders. Chilled monkey brains? Live snakes? Heart riping out? What the hell? And a fight with a huge guy on a convayor belt with a crushing thing at the end, that definetly isnt going trying to top the fight aroud the plain with the Nazi in Raiders. 2nd, the kid in this is annoying. This is a prequel, and he isnt in Raiders. Did he and Indy break up between this and that? Who cares? 3rd, the chick is worse than the kid. Some of the biggest flaws in James Bond movies are when there is a week female lead, like A View to a kill. 4th, annoying cameos and in-jokes. The OBI-WAN club? Dan Aykroyd? Come on, crap like that detracts from the expirience. 5th, prdictability, lack of suspense. This is two years before Raiders, so we know Indy will live(But even if it wasn't a prequel, we know he would live anyway,) but setting it it two years before is pointless. Plus, kids and girls never die, even if you want them to. Did you think for a second that Indy would stay a bad guy? 6th, bad plot. A temple of doom? What the hell is that? And why did we have to stay in this temple of doom for the whole movie? 7th, weak vilain. A guy who rips peoples hearts out. Something that came out of a swamp would have more charisma than this witch docter. Avoid at all costs. *

My least favorite indiana jnes movie - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

This is the worst of the indiana jones movies. It also have some parts that would go against alot of peoples morales.

Not as good as raiders of the lost ark - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

the story was interesting to where they came as if prophesized but this time no dealing with the nazis or the japanese imperial army. still within the area of his expertise the woman and child added to his group was ok but usually indy from my understanding always operated alone. so of course it never hurts to have friends around that could help.

Indiana jones is back in this great sequel... - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Those who give this film a low score are out of their mind, sure, this film isn't as good as Raiders, but it's still worth checking out. One of those films you could watch over and over again, and still love it!

It was a dark time for our heroes - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

I see this as The Empire Srikes Back of the Indiana Jones series,although it's not the greatest,it still has it's moments.It is a darker story and leaves you on the edge of your seat!What a ride! =)

Harrison ford kicks ass in his second mission - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) returns in this action packed adventure to battle an evil cult and rescue a village of children that are being held captive in Asia. Joining Indy in his adventure is a gold-digging woman and a precocious kid that got a piece of the action. The trio cross paths with alligators, swordsmen, snakes and other experiences while in the temple. This movie does not miss a beat and I wouldn't mind owning this on DVD. Indiana Jones kicks ass and will return in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)".

The temple of doom - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the sequal to one of the best action films ever! It is a continuation of the adventures of Dr. Jones played very well by Harrison Ford. The visuals were fanstastic! The girl was better in the first one. I like the first one better because I think it has a little better story. I still like them both very much! This time Jones finds himself looking for a secert rock for a village in India. If you haven't seen this film, I would go rent it now. It doesn't matter what order you watch them in!

Cool classic - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

This was a pretty cool movie,It wasn't as good as the first one but it still a good classic.If you liked the first movie, than you'd probably like this one.This isn't the first time I've seen this movie, I just havn't wrote a review on it.It was about two and a half years ago since I saw it.It's a good movie.

Rent it, or i'll rip out your heart!!!!!!! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

If you are in the mood for an action-adventure don't rent something stupid like Half Past Dead or The Core rent a classic action-adventure like this or the other two Indianna Jones movies! This movie is the creepiest out of the three, but if I had to chose a least favourite this would be it, but it was still very very very very very good.

The temple of good - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

The temple of Doom is a good sequal to 1981's Raiders of the lost ark. Harrison Ford is funny as well Good. Alot of this movie is gross like when they eat monkey brain's for desert But it's also funny like when he gets in the plane of the guy he's chasing but it has close calls like when Indiana Jones gets his hat at the last second. But Overall this movie is good.

One of my all time favs! - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Reviews

Another great part of one of my favorite trilogies. Very dark tones but still a great adventure. Ford is again great. Great story, action, direction. Just loved it!!
