Its bad
it's the best one though...
The 3rd one is the best.
it’s a moore James Bond movie starring Harrison Ford
Feels too theme parky. Too much filming on sound stages instead of real locations.
It's awesome. The heart scene was the craziest scene I've ever seen in a movie. Shortround was funny and Willie played her role as the mirror to Indy's darkest self in the series at that point, selling artifacts to mobsters. I especially appreciated the darkness of the movie, and the hopelessness which was refreshing. The dark sleep Indy was awesome to see. Especially with this series, I feel like people nitpick too much.
INDYYYYYY
It's great, especially in the context of the trilogy. It was my favorite as a kid, but Raiders is probably better overall.
Establishing shots in this are pure cinema
no
burn
It’s a good movie but it’s too different, doesn’t feel like an Indiana Jones movie
Temple of Doom wasn't bad, it was just the weakest out of the original trilogy. Now that movie 4 and 5 exist, Temple of Doom looks fucking spectacular by comparison.
It's fucking racist
I feel like it's a necessary aside between Raiders and Last Crusade. I think those two would feel too similar if they came out back to back.
People don't want to admit when things age like shit. It was a groundbreaking for its time because it was something that has never been seen before but really hasn't stand the test of time which is the case for most old movie classics.
ToD has a couple cutesy callbacks that I’m not a fan of, seeing as it’s a prequel. The most glaring one being when Indy goes for his gun but it’s not in the holster. Harrison Ford is clearly playing it as if Raiders already happened.
I would strongly disagree in this case. The massive elaborate Temple of Doom sets still look amazing.
Maybe. My take is that the backlash against Temple of Doom is what caused Last Crusade to take a “back to basics” approach. That’s why Last Crusade is so similar, even bringing back the Nazis as villains. So, I think that if Last Crusade *did* come out right after Raiders it simply would have been a different movie because it would not have been reacting against Temple of Doom.
You're fucking racist
George Lucas had a haunted castle pitch that sounded kind of cool.
King Solomon's Mines (1950) is better albeit a bit more dry, but better.
Raiders is by far the best and a truly complete movie.
Temple of Doom's problem is that Indy's incidental to it. You could change the character and the actor and lose nothing at all, there's no point in calling it INDIANA JONES and the Temple of Doom. Also the villains lack character. What I'm trying to say is that it's purely a setpiece movie that lacks memorable character moments, that doesn't make it a bad movie but it would be even better if it had both.
saying that it's the best one is also reddit
Correct. It’s a pretty flawless movie and it has remnants of Spielberg’s more gritty 70s edge to it before he went very kid friendly in the 80s.
The Indian cultists are kino villains
Short Round is kino
Willie Scott is kino
starts off in a cool Chinese setting where you think they're off to find some ancient Chinese artifact or something
um actually they're in Pooland and Indy for some reason wants to help this random village
nobody knows what the fuck the stones are or what they actually do, they're barely part of the story
Indy has a Chinese fuckboy and an annoying screeching bitch with him the entire time
Temple of Doom has some great moments but it gets bogged down in bullshit
filtered whiny crusty old boomer
Yeah why couldn’t it have just taken place in East Asia with the Japanese in place of the Nazis? The Terracotta Army was just discovered like 10 years before this movie was made, would have been a great chance to do a story about that (which the Mummy 3 ended up doing many years later but it sucked ass)
Yeah why couldn’t it have just taken place in East Asia with the Japanese in place of the Nazis?
it doesn't even need to do that. Have the villain be a powerful Chinese warlord who has some mystical powers.
It's funny how people label this film as racist when it makes poos way cooler than they'll ever be irl
why couldn't movie just do X instead of Z which I like more!!!
you people are unbelievable. Literal screeching womanchildren
Indy can only fight nazis not good wholesome communists
IIRC, there was an abandoned script that would’ve involved the Chinese Monkey King mythology, but they scrapped it and went with Last Crusade instead.
why couldn't movie do good thing instead of shit thing just enjoy it
stick with your slop, pal
You are being Willie Scott right now
Temple of Doom takes place well before the Commies took over China
Both sound equally good. It's all still orientalist mystical adventures. If anything there aren't enough adventure movies about white men fighting indians
Silence nigger
India is not the Orient
I literally said the Japanese not the Chinese, it’s a perfect ready made fascist villain for Indy to be arrayed against with no mortal ambiguity.
The Orient is everything east of Greece you twit
That's something only an indian would say. All of asia is the same brand of exoticism in old adventure novels. It doesn't matter as long as we get adventure kino
seething hindoos
I already said I like it you don't have to sell it to me
Good afternoon sirs
the Orient is interesting, nobody gives a fuck about some shitty Pajeet village and its missing poo children
You're a stupid nigger who has obviously never watched 1930s movies about north africa, the middle east and colonial india. To me the movie is incredibly nostalgic. It just wasn't made for you. Stop seething and accept that.
Only jeets hate Temple.
feeling nostalgic about the 1930's
okay gramps
Literally the most reddit Indiana jones movie.
I prefer temple of poon
Just turned my TV on and ToD is on right now, weird
