Review Ly Glenn Ctuva
lAVs face it: Nobody really cares what this reviewer
has to say about "Indiana Jones and the Temple of
Doom." Even if I said it was the worst movie ever
made, no one who had planned to see the movie
would be detered from seeing it. And if I say it's one of
the greatest movies ever made, IU simply be repeating
what everybody else has already said about it. So
why even bother to write this? Well, Spielberg make3
his millions off o.f his movies. I scratch out a meager
living In other ways.
Quite frankly, Steven Spielberg isn't a personal
favorite. I can't stand hi3 space movies. Little green
monsters make me nervous, even if they are supposed
. to be cute. But I genuinely liked "Raiders of the Lost
Ark" and The Temple of Doom" nearly as well.
Technically the sequel is superior to the original.
Spielberg has achieved a new height in cliffhanger
genre. ;
There are scenes in the movie that really are
spellbinding. Spielberg is a master of the chase
scene, whether it be on foot, car or mining cars, and
he rarely fails to thrill an audience when he does this
type of filmmaking.
As with most of Spielberg's movies, the cast gives a
good performance. Harrison Ford turns in an excel
lent performance as the rugged archaeologist Indiana
Jones. Ford is a natural for this type of role and
easily handles both the humor and the toughness of

the character.
The heroine of the movie, and Ford's obligatory
female sidekick, is played by Kate Capshaw. They
are both joined by a young adventurer called Short
Round, who is played by Ke Huy Kuan. Kuan is very
good as the orphaned boy who travels around with
Indiana, and helps him out from time to time with a
well placed karate lack or two. Capshaw's character,
however, is where this movie suffers in comparison
to the first.
It's not Capshaw's performance that bothered
me. She was' fine as the near helpless singer who
more or less by accident accompanies Ford and
Kuait on their journey.
It's the character itself that bothered me. She was
a whiney-voiced complainer who seemed to never
do anything but screw up things for Jones and
Short Round. Throughout the first part of the movie,
I was almost wishing that she'd get knocked off so I
wouldn't have to listen to her anymore.
Thi3 movie could have used a Karen Allen, who
played the heroine in the first raovie. Allen wasn't a
dumb blond that followed Indiana around and had
to be rescued constantly. She was pretty tough in
her own right and could usually take care of herself.
Capshaw's character probably fits in better with the
cliffhanger genre, but the Allen character was a lot
easier to feel empathy for, because she didn't go
around screaming and crying all the time.
So now we get to the part of the review where
you're supposed to find out whether or not you
should go see the movie. I hate to do anything to put
more money into Spielberg's (or for that matter
producer George Lucas') pockets. But what the hell.
Yeah, go see it. It really is an enjoyable film and it
doesn't even have a hokey ending like "Raiders
Well, not too hokey, anyway. If you like adventure
movies, this is the one to see.
