Temple of Doom

Why is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom regarded as the worst of the original trilogy? Sure it has some dark moments and probably warrants more than it's PG rating, but I never understood the hate it gets.

Is it just the lack of Nazi punching?

It was the looong ripping the heart out scene over & dropping the damsel into the pit of fire.

Just got a little too much for the suburban families.

3 > 2 > 1

the dumb slapsticky humor ruined it. raiders had some slapstick in it but it's turned up to 11 in temple

The girl was annoying

It's the most self-indulgent film in the franchise. The way indians are portrayed is more than silly, the supporting characters are extremely annoying, things happen without making a lot of sense (I still don't understand why is there a secret passage in Willie's room and how Indy just knows that), the villains are awful and the only good things about the film are the opening and the tracks chase scene.

1>3>2

For some people it doesn’t feel like a ton happens in the movie.
For other Indy movies they are constantly traveling to new locations on a wild chase, but in Temple of Doom, they are basically in the same place for a majority of the film.
It’s not a bad film, but it’s quite a departure from the others.

-annoying girl
-lovable but also annoying kid sidekick
-not really much of an adventure, they're just stuck in the palace pretty much the whole time
-India as a setting is boring
-too dark compared to Raiders; not like too dark because a guy's heart gets ripped out, more like too dark because it's about child slavery and not punchin' Nazis


It's got some memorable individual scenes, but as a movie from start to finish, I would much rather watch Raiders or Last Crusade

Yeah, it wasn't that annoying asian kid, the boring squeeling love interest with no redeeming qualities, or the bizarre villain with no discernible motives other than to be an evil priest guy. It was the heart ripping scene. That's what makes the movie unenjoyable almost from start to finish.

3 is too silly for its own sake. If it rinsed a bit of its humor, it would be perfect.

2 is the Beyond Thunderdome of the Indiana Jones franchise.

1 is just perfect . Perfect characters, action scenes, ending.
Frankly, I love all of them, but 1 really stands out.

Lack of Nazi punching is a big issue I had with the movie. But the presence of people of color as villains is my main issue. That's unacceptable.

He knows there's a secret passage because of a draft in the room that was blowing on some flowers.

The artifact is less clear than in the other two.
>The ark: a blessed item from God that makes any army that has it win their war
>The grail: a cup that if you drink from it makes you live forever
>The rocks: it's like, a Hindu thing...idk
The other reason is that Marion and Elsa are much better than Willie. Willie is just annoying. Also, who the fuck is Short Round?
Temple of Doom is a good movie, but for these reasons the other two movies are better

It's fucking great, I love the temple of doom

yeah, I saw that, but still felt too lucky even for him. There should've been a better clue for him to follow.

Has the worst female co-star.

>the bizarre villain with no discernible motives other than to be an evil priest guy.
are you fucking retarded?

>Post yfw they soft reboot Indiana Jones with this guy as grown Short Round/new Indy

>new Indy
kill yourself

>Iiiiiindiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee!!!!!!!!

The worst case of nepotism ever captured on film.

Lack of Nazi punching. Definitely.

Like Indy, I hate those guys.

>all of the Nazi punching
hmm, it just dawned on me

They started dating during the movie

...

No it was all that too, but that people can sit through. When you're already sitting through that and then peoples beating hearts are getting ripped out and shit, well, then you lose the soccer moms.

I enjoyed it a lot, but I definitely know that it has a lot of flaws. Willie and Short Round are the worst Indy sidekicks. The first half of the movie (except the opening) is boring and unexciting, many jokes fell flat. But the moment Indy entered the temple it's all fun, maybe because at this point Willie's screentime is reduced, less unfunny Short Round jokes and basically the film became much more serious. Though it kinda become mediocre again after they got out of the temple. The main villain and the ending are lame.

his plan is basically

1. Get the stones
2. ???
3. KALI PROFIT!

Lack of western mythology.

The scene with the live sacrifice and heart removal is so jarring and out place with what came before it that it's hard to stay with it after that happens. It goes from lighthearted romp to a very dark movie almost instantly. It's actually pretty great but as an 8 year old it fucks you up.

>I still don't understand why is there a secret passage in Willie's room and how Indy just knows that)

he gets ambushed after a thug sneaks through a hidden passage

he figures theres another one in her room and goes to protect her

The Nazis are the slime of humanity, as Henry Sr. says. You watch Indiana Jones movies to see Nazis get punched. Same reason Crystal Skull fails. It portrays Soviets as villains. What was Lucas thinking?

disagree
Goonies kid, probably the best kid out of the goonies. "No time for love Dr. Jones!"
Woman is after romance and diamonds (literally an every woman)
Indie can't help himself but poke his nose, finds a thugee cult dedicated to Kali, child labor, human sacrifice, fucks their shit up and wins.
returns the diamond to its right place
Woman gets romance.

I watched the ending the other day it's pretty much perfect. Too many non-endings nowadays, fuck even in Rogue One they didn't even kiss (such as shit movie). He (an able white guy) saves the day, gets the girl and rights the misdeed.

It's "Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love!"

Get it right you fake geek.

>It portrays Soviets as villains. What was Lucas thinking?
that it was the 50's and the nazis weren't really any issue any more

>Cassian Andor
>White

His Latino heritage was a selling point in such a white movie series.

>SAN FERNANDO JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF POON

Weakest of the trilogy.

He could have used Neo Nazi or another white hate group. I just dislike idea of Soviets being made the bad guys. It felt like Reagan/Bush-tier propaganda.

>the alt-right are now trying to meme temple of doom into being everyones fave indy film because it doesn't have nazis being killed
What a fucking time we live in. Crystal Skull had communists being killed. You lads should love that one.

>Why is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom regarded as the worst of the original trilogy?
Short Round. Fuck that chink nigger.

this is a good point, Indy's character is not supposed to use 'luck', he's supposed to be a hard-working professor

2 is only considered the worst because Raiders of the Lost Ark is genuinely one of the greatest movies ever made and The Last Crusade is a solid 9.5/10.

>Neo Nazi or another white hate group.
kill yourself kike

Amazing, you sound like a short asian faggot too.

sorry, the last sentence is about Indie.

No, in fact all my liberal friends hate Temple because it doesn't give the German people they punishment they deserve.

I see. That makes sense. Criticize Rogue One on changing Legends canon, but you have to praise Disney for doing what Force Awakens couldn't: include a white woman/man of color romance.

I always liked temple of doom as kid and was honestly my favorite. I really want to fuck Willie for some reason.

>lmao brah why does a highly intelligent, experienced archaeologist/ explorer have good situational awareness.

Annoying girl, annoying sidekick, gross-out humour, saccharine ending.

>Situational awareness
>Happens to find a breach of air in a private room and concludes it is a secret passage

>The way indians are portrayed is more than silly
I agree. Indians should be portrayed more realistically.

The lack of Nazis getting punched did bother me.

the big problem with Temple of Doom is that it has no map travel effect to show the Indiana moving from one place to another

3>1

Willie>Marion>Elsa

Another of my problems with the movie is the racism like in your post. Indiana were portrayed as backwards, dirty and dumb.

No one cares about Indians

True facts: Spielberg and Lucas originally wanted to film this movie in India, but when they showed the script the Indian film board they were like no this is racist as shit you can't film this here and Lucas and Spielberg said suck a dick India, kept the script exactly the same and filmed it somewhere that looked like India.

Wrong.

>Indiana were portrayed as backwards, dirty and dumb.
Can you imagine?

This is subpar FUCKKING bait but I'm hungry so here's your FUCCKKKIGNIINGNGINGIN (you)

How many cast members has he banged?

Sri Lanka.

Right but every fucking action hero ever has had situational awareness, Indy is cool and interesting because he is a learned bad ass.

What was Spielburger thinking making Indians, not Nazis, the villains?

>superpower by 2030 they said

It's pretty easy to get behind hating Indians.

A. Kate Capshaw
B. Kate Capshaw
C. Kate Capshaw
D. Kate Capshaw
E. Gook kid
F. Poos
G. Kate Capshaw

Him and Lucas were going through some personal shit at the time, Indians were just the unfortunate victims of their repressed rage

This is true. I hate indains just from a stupid mobile game where they flood english global chat with shit like,
>hiiii any girl to b mi gf???
if anyone responds they will be flooded with
>I luv you pls join me fr frendship n love

They are truly subhuman creeps.

you're a dumb fuck

Easier to hate Nazis. There is a reason than even the the Marvel universe, which is filled with countless evils, the German people are considered the MOST evil "people" to have ever live.

lucas didn't want to do nazis again

shit i forgot that one
still, raiders and crusade both do it multiple times

didn't they pretty much puss out of the nazi issue by focusing on hydra?

The Nazis are just the ultimate cool villain like the Empire in Star Wars.

eat shit you retarded cock sucker

haha get rekt nigr

They're exclusocey cis-gendered white male, tho. At least the first order isn't racist/sexist.

Did he take the Chungking Express

I thought it was 2020. Did they push it back?

When the US abandoned their space program, they also cut off the sixty billion dollars worth of annual funding we gave to the ISAO.

If they had actual Nazi imaginery, it would be banned in Germany.

It's just the weakest one of a great trilogy, kind of like Return of the Jedi.
But just like ROTJ it's still a 9/10 film and the whole original trilogy is near perfect.

Only Raiders is good. Temple and Crusade were ruined by slapstick.

I loved Doom as a kid, hated on it as an edgy teen/twentysomething, and now I think it's right up there with Raiders. I used to like Crusade a lot, but that doesn't really hold up. It's too goofy, a trend which continued with Skull. Doom has a great setting, is a nice dark turn for the series, interesting set pieces, and with the exception of Willie (she's the worst), has great characters. Raiders only beats it out because it has better characters and a more satisfying ending.

>the boring squeeling love interest with no redeeming qualities
Even as a kid I liked how realistically annoying she is. And it's aged well. Now we'd have Gal Gadot catching Indy's whip with her gloved dominatrix fist. The India setting is a great break from muh Nazi storm troopers. What fucked up ToD was the cheesy raft cliff sequence. Bugs and monkey brains and glowing rocks. The movie is borderline metal.

Don't forget the fortune and glory, kid

He's sunburnt and tipsy, so it makes complete sense he'd dial into a breeze inside a bedroom.

Christians still had some impact in the market and they didn't like showing other religions as having any power

where the fuck are my (you) ive commented like 3 times getting sick of never getting any fucking yous assholes

>they don't like the Last Crusade
>they hate fun

color me surprised

>Hindu depicted as a Satanic cult

Your theory doesn't hold any water.

I always loved Temple of Doom.

Plus, it had the best soundtrack of the four films.

Tbqh the bridge sequence in OP's image is the definitive Indiana, just peak Harrison at his most daring and energetic. The jungle is so much cooler than deserts and Nazi libraries. People keep shitting on India itt, pun well played, but it's still a World of Wonders in this universe, it's India of the white imagination, not the modern Jew globe of 2018. Temple of Doom is the most cavalier adventure, like Spielberg's Heartless of Darkness. I feel like Lucas flexed his whiteness most here of the trilogy.

Did you just congratulate yourself for your own pun
Never post again

My GF and I collaborated on that post, jsykfaggot.

How can anyone think that crusade is better tlhan temple? The dark feel of the movie is right at home with people getting thier faces melted off and getting kicked into an airplane propeller.
