Member Rating:  
The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones epics is set a year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy (Harrison Ford) gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His companions this time around include a dimbulbed, easily frightened nightclub chanteuse (Kate Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan Ke Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the Sherpa warrior. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This was a little less serious than Raiders of the Lost Ark; Kate & Quan really gave it the bang it needed opposite Harrison in terms of comic relief. I think this one was to play more to the kids in the audience but still had a degree of action/story that draws the interest of adults. Again as with Raiders, I come back and watch this movie (actually the entire set of sequels) and really like this more than any of the Star Wars movies which only interested me in a sporadic manner with the original movie being the best, in my opinion. I'm just a big Harrison Ford fan and so I really like all of his work.

Its a must watch. One of the most famous film series in the history of hollywood and just non-stop adventure. This was a lot lighter than the other two in my opinion but the action can't be denied.

Brenda A.

Not sure why this was PG13. The part where the face disintegrates was pretty disgusting.

I liked the first and the third one better. This one was great. It had a lot of action in it. But I heard poor reviews.

This is probably the worst Indiana Jones movie of the series, have not seen the 4th one yet though. It is still a great movie, but I like the ones when the Nazis are involved, those ones are so much better. Still a great movie and I definitely recommend watching it.
