No Better Or Worse Than "Temple Of Doom"

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

OK. I went into this film KNOWING what impossibilities the Indiana Jones creators are capable of cooking up (see "Temple of Doom" for the series' lowpoint), and this film completely lived up to those expectations. The action sequences nearly ruined the film for me, and even the company I viewed the film with, who are HUGE Indie fans, were "tsking" through the "Tarzan" sequence (you'll know what I mean...). I had already forgiven the "refridgerator" scene, but the "climbing ants" were almost too much to bear, followed immediately by the "dipping tree" scene - I had almost given up hope. I'm being vague here as to not give away too much. The script is shoddy and plods along, but for some reason, all is forgiven, because truth be told, it's nice to see Indie up on the big screen again, regardless of the many, many flaws inherent in this outing. Definitely for Indie fans, and those who go in hoping it'll elevate the series to a new level will be disappointed.
