Critics Consensus

It may be too "dark" for some, but Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom remains an ingenious adventure spectacle that showcases one of Hollywood's finest filmmaking teams in vintage form.

This movie is the most fun and action packed movie of all time! This movie is the greatest action adventure movie I have seen from the visuals to the characters everything here is amazing! Indiana jones, Willie Scott and short round head off on an adventure to go to Bancot palace to find magic stones. Soon they learn this temple is evil so they must escape with their lives and stones. Mola ram is such an evil villain and some of the things he does make me want to vomit this shows how effective a villain he is. If you want to enjoy your day watch this movie INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM!!!

I do feel like this is underrated to a degree. Those who don't like it fail to see that, like its predecessor, it is a pastiche of various elements of classic adventure films and while it has darker elements it is always immensely fun.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Times (UK)

As souped-up matinee fare this has heaps of bugs, humour and chases, topped by Harrison Ford at his charismatic peak.

New Yorker

Steven Spielberg creates an atmosphere of happy disbelief: the more breathtaking and exhilarating the stunts are the funnier they are. Nobody has ever fused thrills and laughter in quite the way that he does here.

Neil Jillett

The Age (Australia)

There is not much plot, but for two hours the supersonic action rarely lets up. As a result, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is even more deliriously funny than its predecessor, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Creative Loafing

Easily the most underrated film in the franchise, with its dark tone working perfectly in the context of its often macabre tale.

Rated: 3.5/4

Me gusta el cine

Spielberg directs this movie like there's no tomorrow, and Ford is perfect as always, but in hindsight, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" doesn't come close to being as satisfying as the first or third installments. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Nation

Such attitudes place the movie’s emotional center of gravity at about age 11, which suggests that the filmmakers have lost one year of maturity every summer since 1981.
