: Okay you ToD freaks... I never said I didn't like the movie. It just isn't one of my favorites.

: Primarily, it is an Indy movie, so I like it for that.
: And despite the gross-out factor, it does have it's Disney-like moments.

: But everyone, please observe the people who defend this movie as "the greatest" Indy film. We get such well thought out arguments as, "ToD ROCKS!!!!!" and "ToD RULES!!!!!"

: Okay, so, rock and rule. It sounds like those stoner punks I avoided all through high school in the eighties.

: I think Indy deserve better defense than that, even for what I consider my least favorite of the movies.

I think it's a fun movie! It may not be thought provoking like Raiders and Crusade. I consider ToD a more refreshing break. Plus, it's got some great scenes and setpieces (like the Thuggee sacrifice scene, my personal fav. movie scene of all-time!!!), plus I love its shift from darkness to lighthearted fun! And I love its similarities to Gunga Din, another classic adventure film!
