Four decades on, and it's still an exciting, action packed thrill ride, but then you know that already. Expect some amazing action sequences, this has some impressive fight sequences, explosions, chases, it really is a visual feast, I'm so glad it was made before cinema was captured by The CGI wizards (not that I'm taking away from what those guys do,) but the action feels real. There, alongside companions Willie Scott (Kate. ![]() Set a year before its predecessor, Temple of Doom kicks off with Indy surviving an assassination attempt in Shanghai before parachuting out of a cargo plane into northern India. The perfect film for a bank holiday evening, or teatime on boxing day, it's an adventure that has something for the whole family. Temple of Doom is the first Indiana Jones movie chronologically, despite being released after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Raiders of The Lost Ark is the first of the Indiana Jones, and arguably the best, although I also love Temple of Doom. I'd still regard it as Harrison Ford's defining role, he is a huge character, Indie is a real free spirit, he's funny, daring, charming and captivating, the eternal adventurer, perhaps the reason he's back forty years on. The plot is pretty wild, to reach the prized artefact, Indie has to battle through all manner of dangers, battling Nazis in the process, it sounds outlandish and outrageous, but it works. ![]() Ahead of watching the newest Indie movie, I decided to go straight back to the first one, it's been some time since I last saw it, but it is as still fresh, exciting and downright fun as I remember. Now that the film is available on home video and to stream on Disney+, more audiences are sure to experience the film to potentially support or decry the ending.There is no denying, that this film will forever be one of the greatest movies in the action/adventure genre. With the sequel having only landed in theaters months ago, and with the amount of expectation placed on it knowing it would be Ford's final foray as the hero, it has yet to be seen how well the ending resonated with audiences. And, also, usually bolder is better if you can do it." And I thought that was going to be more interesting. If he ended up where he does end up in the film, he was going to be facing bigger questions about his own life and what he studied all his life. If he had gone back to Nazi Germany, he would simply be a hero trying to stop Voller from doing his plan. I felt we needed something more shocking, something bolder, and something that also affected Indy. He continued, "As we got there, it started occurring to me that A) that's what the audience is going to be anticipating, and therefore not very surprising to them, and B) we'd be plunged just back into the opening of the film only with a 79-year-old Indy running around. In a way I didn't want to do the kind of, 'Is it a Death Star again?'" "And I felt like what Steven and George and Larry Kasdan and David Koepp as well had done successfully in the other films, was to keep kind of pulling up a rock on a different aspect of history and metaphysics and not going back to the same thing. ![]() Just more apparitions and ghosts and I felt like I was just watching the first movie over again when I envisioned what was in the existing scripts," Mangold expressed to Gizmodo. "When I came on the movie, they had been playing with a bunch of different things which were basically just reduxes of what had happened in the first movie. ![]() Instead, the film introduces a time-travel device, which saw Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones making a fateful choice. More than merely directing the project, Mangold also developed the script with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, with the director revealing that the original plan for the sequel's conclusion was to incorporate supernatural elements like ghosts, though he ultimately changed course to venture into uncharted territory. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny not only marked the end of the titular hero's journey, but it was also the first film in the franchise that wasn't directed by Steven Spielberg, as James Mangold instead stepped in to helm the adventure.
