It's time again for the summer onslaught and this summer's Spielberg and
Lucas production is 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'.

Since it is a sequel, I couldn't help but compare it to its predecessor,
'Raiders'. 'Temple of Doom' was as action-packed, fast-paced, and
suspenceful as 'Raiders', but it was perhaps a little more camp and a
little less funny.  Also, I found the plot a bit more oppressively evil
and the effects more gorey than 'Raiders'.  Some of the panoramic views
gave me a definate impression of being painted backdrops, and a few
other effects were a bit disappointing.  The acting was very good and a
few scenes well worth remembering. 

All in all, I'm glad I saw it, but I'll probably pay to see it just this
once (unlike 'Raiders' which I've seen three times).  I would be
hesitant to bring children (there are quite a few in the story).

For those in the South Bay area, I saw this at the Manhatten Beach Mall.
I bought my ticket at 5:00, went to the mall, and walked into the
theatre at 5:15 for a 5:30 showing.  The theatre was well populated but
by no means full.  I don't know if it will continue as such, but its
playing in three theatres there, and right after work its hardly ever
full.  But no bargain prices for this movie.
