... View MoreJust like it's predecessor, Temple of Doom manages to take the audience on an epic adventure with Indiana Jones even after going for a more darker tone. This film definitely took a page from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back in that the film is a lot darker than the first but it never loses its core values which is what made me fall in love with the original. There's action, comedy and adventure that follows the same formula from the Lost Ark but the filmmakers still manage to deliver it with originality that leaves you wanting more. So many memorable moments that you will struggle to decide which Indiana Jones movie you love more. If a film can give you that sort of debate then you know its a classic.
