"In 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', the director Steven Spielberg is like a magician whose tricks are so daring they make you laugh. He creates an atmosphere of happy disbelief: the more breathtaking and exhilarating the stunts are the funnier they are. Nobody has ever fused thrills and laughter in quite the way that he does here. He starts off at full charge in the opening sequence and just keeps going. There isn’t a letdown anywhere in it. A friend of mine denounced the picture as 'heartless'; another friend called it 'overbearing.' In a sense, they’re right, but they’re also off the beam. This kind of storytelling doesn’t have to be heartfelt; it just has to hold your interest (and delight you). Indiana Jones is a series of whoppers—it depends on verve and imagination to concoct the next big fib. And it leaps from one visual exaggeration to another—overbearingness is part of its breakneck style. (If it were modest and unassuming, it would fall apart.)...." (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker)
