Can't say I agree with that take, I thought it was one of the better Indiana Jones movies, maybe even better than Temple Of Doom. It ticked all the boxes for me.
"Maybe even better than Temple of Doom"
They should put that on the posters.
Damned with faint praise, indeed.
I enjoyed Temple of Doom, more as a kid but for a general adventure story it work for me. I've also been watching Red Letter Media's review of it recently so that may have skewed it higher. I always liked the idea of the old stories where someone could have an out of order adventure. For those that may not know we'd call it a prequel these days but it was modeled off of old stories that were just told for the same characters. Oddly whenever I try and create a cultist type story (Lovecraft and pulp) in my head it turns out very similar to Temple of Doom, so that probably impacts my opinion of it.
