Re:View - Temple of Doom

 


"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was the first Indiana Jones movie I ever saw and I loved it. When I was a little older and finally saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" I was a little disappointed - it was clear to me that "Temple..." was the better movie. I was surprised to learn that that is the minority opinion.

These days, the only thing that's clear to me is that my favorite of the trilogy is "Last Crusade." "Temple of Doom" is so dark and weird and the action is so ridiculous, judging between that and "Raiders" is a battle between my brain and heart. Or it's a battle between me as a child and me as an adult. Fortunately it doesn't matter and no one cares. That raft thing is so inexcusable though...
