Editorial Review:
The Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) adventure after Raiders of the Lost Ark is more violent than its predecessor, but also looser, more imaginative, and finally more satisfying. Still organized like a series of connected cliffhangers, the story (set 10 years before Raiders) involves Indy's attempted rescue of stolen children from a pagan cult. Director Steven Spielberg draws upon sundry cinematic influences, particularly Gunga Din, for an air of classic adventure, though one can also find traces of John Wayne movies in Jones's relationship with a woman (Kate Capshaw) who's come along for the bumpy ride. The film's opening bit, in which the antidote to a poison Jones has swallowed keeps bouncing around a nightclub just out of his reach, is a blast. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - UGH!
Expect nothing, lower your expectations, brace yourself and you might not be disappointed. I could be wrong, but I believe that when they opened the Ark in the first movie, everyone who watched got a glimpse of this one. Probably one of the 10 worst movies I have ever seen.
Rating: - Darker Isn't Better
1933 finds Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is in China attempting to get paid for his latest find. When his employer double crosses him, Indy barely escapes with his life, dragging singer Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) and young Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan) along with him.
Well, Indy almost escapes. Yet another attempt at double crossing him leaves the trio stranded in India. There, they find a remote village that is willing to lead them back to civilization, but only after Indy has ... Read More

Reated "PG". Running Time: 1hr, 58 min.
This is the second film in the Indiana Jones series, however the story begins in Shanghai, 1935, one year before the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) mission.
The movie begins with a lady nightclub singer, "Willie" (Kate Capshaw, who later married Steven Spielberg), performing in a musical production number that should have been filmed in Technicolor.
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is also in Club Obi Wan). He has to get these diamonds ... Read More
Rating: - Aw nuts
I have a friend from India who when asked about the accuracy of this film said, "Yes, we all eat chilled monkey brains."
"So the writers didn't do very good research?" I said.
"They probably didn't even pass Introduction to World Religions. Look, if you want to see a good Indian film, watch 'Rang de Basanti.'"
"But Temple of Doom. It's still fun, right?" I'd just read about the proposed fourth installment of the series and was pretty excited.
"Yeah, maybe we can watch it ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Exciting, Though It Pales To "Raiders".
I thoroughly enjoyed "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." I would highly recommend it. Please keep this in mind, because I'm about to start telling its shortcomings. None of these shortcomings diminish the five stars it earned.
This movie does pale compared to "Raiders Of The Lost Ark." Part of it is, as is often the case with sequels, it follows the formula of the first movie. The formula here: Indiana Jones has a close call trying to recover an artifact; he then discovers a ... Read More
