Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
1984 | Action, Adventure

"Indiana Jones, that trilogy I just rewatched on a plane from a holiday I just took. I watched all three, and Temple of Doom just continues to win me over. I know; usually, people like The Last Crusade, and there’s a lot of love for Raiders, because it’s the original. But Temple of Doom is just, to me, so funny and entertaining and fun. And the kid from Goonies — Hot Shot? Short Round. He’s so funny, and I grew up with Goonies, but I prefer him in Indiana Jones."

Funny, easy watching
Somehow I keep watching Dave Bautista films and wondering why I end up writing reviews like this. He is very obvious actor. In AOD the main story between Dav and his daughter is very forced down your throat and could have been done subtley.

I love the characters, the setting, storyline and general zombie stupidity. I think there were a few plot holes that were filled hastily and it was interesting to see the twist on the usual zombies.

Long for what the story consists of.

All aboard for a great Action Comedy!
I wasn't sold when I first saw the trailer for this and after seeing the critic reviews my hopes were not raised to expect much.
But I'm glad I did catch it as it is very funny. Very few films make the whole cinema audience laugh but this did many times. Yes it's very violent but in an over the top way. Imagine Kill Bill crossed with Snatch and that's the general vibe you get from this. Don't miss this train.

Superb
A magnificent and sometimes shocking novel. Powerful and it grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Funny, tragic, gut wrenching, and one of the classic works of modern literature.

The best Thor movie. Now one of my favorite marvel movies. I never really cared for the hulk that much, but really liked him in this.

It's very funny at times and quite true about all the different cliques that exist in high school, college, uni. One of the best teen comedies to do with surviving high school!

Great characters that you can relate to
Fantastic Fun
Loved this book from start to finish. You cannot help but feel sorry for its main character, a likeable chap who cant seem to catch a break.
