Coincident today to finding the site of the guy who designed all the Indiana Jones posters, James Lileks articulates why Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was a bad movie.
I remember how I felt after I saw this the first time. I felt almost soiled. It wasn’t the quantity of violence, but the nature of it – at some point you stop fearing for Indy and start fearing for Spielberg, because something must have gone wrong in his head when he put this one together.
Amen. The first one was great, the third one was almost-as, but the second one is only on my self because wanted the full set, and need to remind myself now and again how bad (opening scene aside) it is.
