Indy Jr. and Sr. make up for Temple of Doom

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2012)

Indiana Jones rides again in this third adventure, and it is the most enjoyable of the three. Though I do think the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, is slightly better, this film sure does have its spots. One of the most enjoyable moments of the film is the scene in Venice. The boat chase is well staged, the hunt for Sir Richard's tomb is well crafted, and the rats are fun. But by far some of the greatest stuff in the film are the action scenes. From the opening chase to the race to the exit from the earthquake at the end, the film's action scenes are some of the best I've seen in a late 80's film. But then again, the end truck chase in Licence to Kill hasn't been topped. And of course I must mention Sean Connery. What a great performance worthy of a nomination, though of course he didn't get one. Indiana Jones should be fun at the movies, and that's exactly what this is.
