Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a review by Rich

Dodging bullets in Sri Lanka...



Indiana Jones finds himself on a new adventure, trekking across Asia with a gold-digging woman and a young child to rescue a village's missing children and find a magic stone. But, along the way he must contend with an evil cult.

  As said before earlier in the thread, TOD tries too hard to surpass Raiders, and fails on every count. Still remains an OK film, but never touches the quality and originality of the first film of the series. 5/10

My Thoughts:
This is a movie that I haven't watched since I originally bought it several years ago. Going into it I really remembered next to nothing about it. I never knew anything of Andy Kaufman beyond his Taxi character. So I personally don't know what to think on how accurate the story of his life is in this movie. The reason I bought this movie is because I like Jim Carrey and because I enjoyed the old sitcom Taxi. I would have liked to seen a bit more scenes on the set of Taxi... but I enjoyed the movie and I think Jim Carrey did an excellent job in the role. I thought he did the Latka character very well.
