Not enough people over 35 in this thread. Temple of doom got more vhs replay than probably any of the others. The chick was hot, and acted circles around what women are doing today. She was animated, without being nothing but a quippy, fast talking facade. The 2 children with larger roles were also great. The prelude leading up to finding the poor Indian village is A+. I'm not saying it's a better movie than the first, but it's certainly more entertaining throughout than the 3rd, and that's not even close. From the opening scene, to the dinners in both the village and palace, to the bugs, to the "we.. are going.. to die!!" To the (essentially) devil worship heart scene, to the indy heel turn, to the roller coaster escape, to the bridge.. Exactly wtf in that movie didn't work? It may have portrayed rich Indians a little backwards, and not been grovelingly reverent of Indian culture.. Maybe.
The third film had a high point in the middle with the revolving wall, a highpoint at the end (it's shorter than you remember) with the home of the grail, and a ittle decent humor. Scene by scene, temple murders crusade.
The Indiana Jones trilogy is awesome. The same cannot be said for your taste in movies.
Funny, I always that the Star Wars franchise was mediocre at best and highly overrated. I never thought of the Indiana Jones franchise being that though...the last one was pretty lame.
Acted circles around women today. People hated her back when that movie came out. She was hot, that was it. Terrible actress who only got the role because of a certain connection. She was so annoying I was hoping Indy would through her off the bridge. The german chick in 3 was much better. And they friggin killed her off.Not enough people over 35 in this thread.

As someone who is over 35 I disagree on Temple > Crusade.
Temple was the low hanging fruit choice of the trilogy partly because the obsession with the funny ‘Asian kid’. It was extremely popular but not because it was some masterpiece. Granted Crusade was Raiders 2.0 and didn’t do it as well I’d still say the material was far superior to Temple. It had Nazis, searching for a famous religious artifact and even fun origin scene with a cameo from River Phoenix .....enough to topple the plot of Temple.
Nope. She was fantastic. From the song and dance number at the beginning, throughout, she was great. The critics hated her at the time because she was too... today.Acted circles around women today.

With one legit good movie, out of 4.
Change my mind.
Thats the same ratio of good movies to bad as The Matrix series if the Wachowski's queefed out another pitiful sequel after Revolutions.
As it stands Indiana Jones is batting 25% and the Matrix is 33%.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a legit good movie. I
Temple of Doom is onee of the most disgusting headache and naseua inducing movies ever made
Last Crusade is cure for insomnia
Crystal Skull might be the worst big budget movie ever made
I loved Temple of Doom, and I loved The Golden Child, too. In fact, the only thing I'll admit, and it doesn't pain me to do it, is that they never crafted a Home Alone 4 with some random cute Asian kid in San Francisco opposite Jackie Chan as the lead clumsy crook.
You suck and weren't a real child of the 80's if you don't feel the same way.
The plot? Perhaps. The execution and entertainment level? Temple.
