Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Ratings & Reviews
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 1, 2025A much improved sequel in every way. The characters, set-pieces and tone are pretty spot on and enjoyable throughout. Tension and laughs are well balanced at a good pace. It's silly fun.
- Zoran MiljkovićNovember 17, 2025It's Indiana Jones.
- penbastMay 2, 2025Is it the best Indy Movie? Nope. This movie has many issues and problems. But Boy, it is still my favourite because it is gritty and dark and turns the focus away from punching nazis (which is not bad. I love a good throw at a nazi). But Temple of Doom is different in so many ways but still true to the original material. It is a perfect sequel. Erm sorry, prequel to a perfect movie.
- ርልዪረOctober 30, 2025After the brilliant "Raiders of the Lost Ark", making a sequal to arguably the greatest adventure movie of all time must have been a daunting task, especially trying to recapture the magic of the previous film. This time around Archaeologist "Indiana Jones" finds himself in India, and on a quest to recover five magical stones that have bern stolen by an evil Priest who is looking to harness their power. Where "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was a big, bold, fun adventure, "Temple of Doom" is much darker in its tone and approach, and it definitely suits this movie. Harrison Ford is his usual brilliant self as our whip cracking hero, and although "Temple of Doom" lacks the size and scale of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it's still a frantic, and fun adventure movie that has some good action sequences, and definitely hits the mark. Great fun.
- StreetterOctober 19, 2025Although the graphics weren't there at the time this movie was made... and stock footage had to be used. It's still quite good.
- AbbaMarch 16, 2025The set pieces and elaborate chase and action sequences are truly admirable. Refreshing to see how much planning and thought went into orchestrating the chase scenes while keeping it entertaining. Spielberg is really second to none when it comes to adventure movies.
- plp.GTRJanuary 16, 2025Was quite entertaining

- E HartantoJune 24, 2025As entertaining as I watched it 40 years ago. It brings back a lot of memories. Nice movie with talented actors, Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar eventually. The movie is funny and interesting, great filming technique from Spielberg!
- TheDesertLadJune 17, 2025This movie gets a lot of hate for being the darkest, for lacking Judeo-Christian elements, and the stereotypical depictions of the people in this film... However, I think this is an overlooked masterpiece and a critical film to watch when discussing George Lucas and/or Stephan Spielberg as both of them were going through personal problems of the age and it is highly reflected in this movie. Not to mention, this film proves that the "Indiana Jones formula" that Raiders/Last Crusade is known for isn't the only formula that can work. Just because a piece of media can be "offensive" to modern audiences doesn't take away from other aspects that hold this movie up. The action is great, the depiction of cult leaders in a theatrical sense is fantastic, having non-Judeo/Christian gods "be real" in the lore allows many of the games to exist alongside Raiders and the Last Crusade. I love this movie and if you want a fun popcorn flick - this is going to do it well. Just keep the lights off to let the dark atmosphere engulf your living room in the process!
