The Worst Film Ever
Perfect cast and a good story
hyped garbage
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This film contains graphic images of A HEART BEING RIPPED OUT OF A LIVING MAN'S CHEST. It's gory and horrible to watch, and just exudes a feeling of wrongness. It started off quite good, but once they reach the underground temple, Spielberg put the plot in park and instead focused on grossing out the audience with truly horrific scenes. It is NOT suitable for children, and should have been rated R ("Equilibrium" is far less violent and is rated R). This is not a true Indiana Jones movie. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Last Crusade" are really good movies with serial action. THIS IS NOT!!! I enjoyed Willie Scott's and Short Round's characters, but they fall far short of saving this DISGUSTING movie.
This was the second Indy film I watched, and I had seen a lot of spoofs from this particular film before watching the film itself (see Tiny Toons). As a prequel, it shows Indy's adventures before the Ark and the battle against a demonic cult. It's also the movie where Spielberg met his current wife. She was annoying but kind of funny in this. She screamed a lot here which made a lot of people complain, but I don't see how that's any different from what Fay Wray did in the original King Kong. Anyway, that's not the point. We get action in Asia and a look at India, one of the major nations of that aforementioned continent. It's hardly Bollywood material but it's good entertainment. Short Round was also good as Indy's sidekick and he really helped out. You'll see what I mean when you watch so as to avoid spoilers. This might be the darkest of the Indy films but it's not bad. It's good as a supernatural action film.
While "The Temple of Doom" may not be quite as good as its predecessor or successor, as far as big budget summer blockbusters go, this one's a lot of fun!After escaping from China and crash-landing in India, Indiana Jones and a few tag-alongs must retrieve a sacred stone from an ancient temple and return it to a small village in order to right the forces of good and evil. Easier said than done.I'll start with the good stuff: this movie is nonstop action! Everything in this movie is full of tension and suspense. From the first 15 minutes onward, this movie really picks up steam and continues to roll down the tracks with no brakes until we hit the credits. In that respect, it's everything you want in an adventure movie.I also have to credit the set design. These settings are lush and detailed and absolutely breath-taking. Spielberg knows how to do 'big' movies like this and he doesn't disappoint from the optical perspective. I'll add that the score is timeless and puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.But I also understand why some are not huge fans of this movie. The obvious issues with this movie are related to the supporting cast. In "Raiders" we got great performances out of Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies. In "Temple" we get... Kate Capshaw. She is absolutely unbearable in this movie as the screaming, helpless, ditsy blonde. I'm sure Miss Capshaw is a fine person and a fine actress but this character is the worst! 90% of her lines involve her screaming in fright or anger. She has no redeeming qualities, even up to the bitter end.Only slightly more bearable is Short Round played by Jonathan Ke Quan. His character may have been charming and funny back in the day but I just don't care for him really at all in this. He's annoying and took me out of a few scenes in this one.This movie also somehow manages to be both campy and darker than the first one. It seems as if Spielberg and Lucas had differing ideas on which direction to take the franchise because it almost looks like they tried to do both. There's more slapstick and silly humor in this one but there's also more torture and violence. These combine to make a real weird atmosphere from scene to scene. The finished product has a sense of duality to it.Despite this movie's shortcomings, it's still a really fun ride and the 2 hours fly by as you sit there eyes wide with a smile on your face watching Indie globetrot around the world.
