The first Indiana Jones movie was an instant classic. A good premise as to why IJ would be going after the Arc. Clever, campy, funny, with a bit of fantasy. Well balanced and clever ending. This Temple of Doom sequel is just stupid. Bad effects, dumb story, ridiculous situations. So heavy handed and corny - I can't believe Spielberg did this movie. Was this considered good in the 80's? Since Spielberg met his future wife on this shoot, maybe he was too distracted to do a good movie. Don't bother watching this one. Maybe some of the other Indians Jones sequels are better- but this is one is just dumb.

This movie is equivalent of the emperor's new clothes

Because inside Hollywood is saying this movie is "genius", no one inside Hollywood wants to admit it may be the worse film ever made for fear of looking stupid. But I got it - millions of parallel universes where so many possible outcomes exist and where kindness wins out over evil. But it was so over the top bizarre just for bizarre sake, an endless string of boring fight scenes, tediously dragged on for about 2 hours too long, and a total waste of good actors, it is 2 hours I will never get back. How could this win so many awards? I think the academy has gone insane Or this was a big joke. I feel betrayed. Don't waste your time.
