The apology for the Temple of Doom

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2004)

Even though I don't believe the public needed an apology for the Temple of Doom they just wanted one and Lucas felt obligated to hand one out. This movie is deliberately light hearted and more in tune with the first installment of the trilogy. Ford is great as always and so is Sean Connery even though if he was Harrison's father he would have been 12 when Ford was born. Jones is once again pitted against the most evil force known to man, the Nazis. This time they are coveting the most precious religious artifact in all of Christendom the Holy Grail. So Jones and son must race against the Huns to reclaim it before Hitler drinks out of it and lives forever only to discover that he unknowingly gave Indy a sample of his handwriting which will be used as evidence against him in his upcoming Nuremberg trial. Action, suspense, intrigue, betrayal, and of course love are all included. Soon to be followed by Indiana Jones IV which is hitting theaters summer of 2006 and will feature a 60 year old almost Social Security eligible Harrison Ford and a much updated plot line.
