INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984) - May 15, 2008 (Fourth or Fifth Viewing)
Though not quite a masterpiece on the level of Raiders of the Lost Ark, this was still really enjoyable and a much better-than-average summer blockbuster. Steven Spielberg's direction is, yet again, superlative -- the Indiana Jones trilogy should be required viewing for any action director. Spielberg manages to take sequences which would come off as over-the-top under a lesser director and makes them exciting. The film is maybe a bit too silly at times, and a tad darker than I'd necessarily like, but it was still quite good. ***1/2
