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.
