James Jackson The Times (UK) 06/27/2023
As souped-up matinee fare this has heaps of bugs, humour and chases, topped by Harrison Ford at his charismatic peak. Go to Full Review Pauline Kael The New Yorker 04/18/2023
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. Go to Full Review Neil Jillett The Age (Australia) 04/18/2023
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. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast Dec 15
The uptick in showy budget and meaner energy make this a unique entry in the franchise. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 07/07/2023
3.5/4
Easily the most underrated film in the franchise, with its dark tone working perfectly in the context of its often macabre tale. Go to Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine 06/28/2023
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
