The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones epics is set a year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy (Harrison Ford) gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His companions this time around include a dimbulbed, easily frightened nightclub chanteuse (Kate Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan Ke Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the Sherpa warrior.

The description says it all. People seem to forget or dismiss this one, but I'd put it up there with the first and third and way above the forth. In my opinion it even kind of stands out, because they are not going after any bible relic, they are not in a desert, and they are not fighting the Nazis. I love how fun this film is, but it is rather dark as well. It has a great bridge climax and a fun minecart chase. The opening scene is fun and memorable as well. I don't get all the hate it receives, it's great

Indiana Jones should've have this adventure to himself. He's what everyone wants to see being a hero, not annoying, kicking butts. I think that Willie and Short Round are in the way! He does not need to put up with Willie always whining. Marion was better for a sidekick than Willie, and Short Round always screeching with a high pitch kind of tone just drives me crazy! The first movie was better not gonna lie, but this film is okay, but this one revolve with black magic that can be a little frightening.

Guys I know that some people might not like this sequel to this amazing trilogy. However, you might not realized that Jones is fighting an antagonist who is more into witchcraft unlike the rest being involved with Nazis. This movie felt as if Indiana Jones was more in place into insects and jungles other than in urban areas. When I first watched this movie, I thought the Temple of Doom took place in Shanghai but instead later in India. An amazing sequel!
