Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom — Nice sequel that's getting too old — 6*/10

• Overall: On almost all levels, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas just did not do as good a job as they did on the original (read my review here). However, you do get the same nice feeling of adventure, which is what the audience originally wanted.
• Who is it for? Indiana Jones fans.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087469/
• Known actors: Harrison Ford.
• Setting: Pre-World War II, mostly in India.
• Style: Adventurous swashbuckling.
• Pacing: Quick.
• Intro: Same get right to it feeling as the original.
• Story: This, no traveling around the world, more silliness, more fantasy, more side character interest, but still lots of action and high adventure.
• Ending: Well done.
• Epilogue: One part good, one part bad.
• Dialogs: Funny and interesting.
• Characters: The female lead is weaker. The sidekick is lively if caricatural. The bad guys are pathetically underdeveloped.
• Acting: Nice.
• Visuals: Nice.
• Special Effects: They are just too old. Done with less care than the original or maybe they just went beyond what they could do.
• Score: Same catchy and adventurous work by the great John Williams.
