malikroberts16 Review of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

The best of the first 3 Indys.

[10/10 · 24 March 2008]

Temple of Doom was better than Raiders, and ten times better than The Last Crusade. When I first saw Raiders, I thought it was interesting, maybe 'cause I saw it from a different point of view. The teaser and trailers for the film and a documentary I saw on the History Channel about the Ark tell me to rewatch it, and I will. I wonder if Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's gonna be better than this.

I thought Temple of Doom was real fun, and it was thrilling, and it never ever got boring. When it wasn't exciting, it was funny, and I like that. This is one example of things I look for when I watch a film. One scene that I love is where Willie falls off a elephant, cryin' and moans about life in Shanghai. That was really funny. She reminds me of how I used to be before I moved to the Virgin Islands, 'cause I was in for one helluva culture shock. Indy was really good here, and my favorite character is Mola Ram from the Thugee.

"You... don't believe me...? You will, Dr. Jones. You will become... a true believer!"

I thought the content in here was pushin' it a bit, 'cause it was rated PG and the stuff like the human sacrifice was a little over-the-top for young'uns.

Great stuff, Steven and George, so more power to ya!
