Temple of Doom it's a hell of a movie no matter what the people said. It's more exciting, funnier, and more impressive than the first one.
Yes, it's violent, but is not as bloody as `Raiders' is. Temple of doom deserves a lot more than it has, because is a non-stopping action sequel, in which you can't move from your seat while you are watching it; this movie moves, and moves, making you feel the real meaning of what an action movie means.
The plot of the movie is real interesting, is by far nothing like raiders, it's a complete new adventure and situation. It's the search of a sacred rock which has been stolen from a village, and is used to worship an evil god: Kali. Following the adventure with Indiana J. is Short Round, and the singer Willie Scott.
The cast is great, I can't understand why Kate (Willie) was criticized for her acting, her performance is just one of the most funny that I have seen in a female character: the way she complains about everything, the screams, her originality makes me laugh every time I watch this movie, besides for me she is the most beautiful of the three Indiana's girls. The villain Mola Ram is really creepy, I remembered that when I was a kid this guy really scared me just by seeing him laugh.
CONTAIN SPOILERS
The action sequences, despite of being very unrealistic, are just impressive and make you feel the excitement through all your body: The plane crash sequence, the scene when Indiana and Short R. are trapped and Willie with all the insects tries to save them, the mine chase (For me this is one of the most impressive and exciting action sequence that I have ever seen in my life), and the falling bridge sequence.
OK, I have to admit that some sequences are a little bit disturbing even diabolic, but `Raiders' it is exactly the same, just try to remember and think about it:
RAIDERS: -In the first scene when Indiana is looking for the idol and the Latin guy who says `Adios señor' is killed by the trap and you can see the blades crossing his body and head, and Indiana says: `Adios Estupido'. -In the Marion's bar scene you can see very clearly how Indiana shots into a guy's head, and the head burst into blood. -In the Cairo sequence, again you can see how Indiana shots a guy in his chest and again in the head of the guy who was driving the truck with dynamite. -In the plane fight sequence all the sequence is too violent: punches, bites, even a guy killed by the propellers of the plane, and in a moment you can see the cockpit of the plane soak in blood. -In the car chase sequence you can see how Indiana really hates Nazis: gun shots, punches, even he murder a guy running over him with the truck. -And for the last you can see how several Nazis soldiers are killed by a mystique force, including two guys melting in a very bloody way concluding with a guy who is burning, to finally see how his head explode. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT TEMPLE OF DOOM IS THE LESS GOOD OF THE THREE BECAUSE IT'S TOO VIOLENT.
`Temple of Doom' rocks¡¡¡¡ (as well as the other two Indiana Jones movies), is by far one of the best action movies ever, so open your mind, relax and tight your seat belt for the wildest ride of your life.
