Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a classic entry in the legendary action-adventure series, but a re-watch reveals some unfortunate truths.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a contentious film, aging perhaps the worst out of the original trilogy and the extended catalog. The second installment in the Indiana Jones movie franchise, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was actually a prequel to the first film.
8 Temple Of Doom Doesn't Have A Strong Villain Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was originally going to be a direct sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but George Lucas opted to make the film a sequel simply to avoid pitting Indiana Jones up against Nazis two films in a row. Unfortunately, the Thugee cult somewhat squanders this opportunity. The Thugee's goals aren't immediately clear, and their human sacrifice and child labor make them cartoonishly evil.
5 Temple Of Doom's Comedy Leaves Much To Be Desired A healthy dose of comedy has always been a key component of the formula that made the Indiana Jones movies so popular as entertaining pulp adventure flicks. Yet in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the laughs, in particular, are a sore spot of contention, relying on gross-out humor and jokes of questionable taste that use supposed Indian cultural practices as a punchline.
