Its a roller coaster ride, a visual extravaganza, a technical triumph, and a whole lot of fun.

Despite superior chase sequences and dazzling stunts, this loud and frenzied sequel is mostly an exercise in excess.

Mr Ford can be said to do his stuff, such as it is, and the lady hers, which is to be more than slightly silly, but with the action nonstop there is n ..

The sustained furore of humour, visual panache and headlong momentum makes for dazzling cinema.

Among some great action set pieces theres some really lame filmmaking going on here.

Nothing shocks me, says the rugged man about the Far East who has survived a lot of shocking situations.

Steven Spielberg directs this crackerjack fantasy adventure story with great dash.

Its not the darker turn that makes The Temple of Doom uncomfortable at times; its its mean spiritedness.
ReelViews
3.8
Director Spielberg has crammed ceaseless special effects, chases, and gross outs into the films nearly two hours.
Tv Guide
5.0
Its still thrilling, but the thrills come at the expense of the quiet moments on one end, and darkness on the other.
Combust Ible Celluloid

But in attempting to craft a film meant to appeal to a wider audience, Spielberg has emerged with one of his most uneven movies to date.

Weaker in plots, subplots, and characters from its predecessor, as if to compensate, Temple of Doom is stuffed with multiple chases, some more thrilli ..

A lot of the beats are a bit too familiar from previous entries in the series, which isnt surprising given that this is the fifth film to play off the ..

Which is a shame, considering Ke Quans performance is charming, and often times keeps the film grounded in the childlike enthusiasm like the serials t ..

This is perhaps justified somewhat if we look at the film not as an Eighties movie but as an adaptation of something which has its roots very much in ..
Eye For Film
3.0
Theres plenty of rip roaring action to distract us from the more unpalatable elements.

Not everything works in Temple of Doom, the punching bag of the franchise.

And dont even get me started on the appalling romantic dialogue or the insulting depiction of Indian cuisine.

Too shapeless to be the fun that Raiders is, but shape may be beside the point. Old time, 15 part movie serials didnt have shape. The just went on and ..

Even if one accepts this movies percussive, brutal techniques, it really doesnt work on its own terms. Indiana Jones wasnt exactly a hero for the ages ..

...despite the fast pace, the movie is never frenetic or tiring, just pure, unadulterated fun throughout. (Blu ray edition)
Movie Metropolis
3.5
Temple of Doom, unfortunately, suffers from exactly what made the first film work so well (but damaged all future ones); a lack of singular vision.
