I think that The Temple of Doom is probably the best out of all the Indiana Jones movies. The beginning to me was a good scene to start off with when the Asian man poisons Jones. That's a start off issue that made it attractive because it was a life and death situation that was added on to the real problem. Although it was pretty cliche, I also liked that he kidnapped the blonde women, and she was forced to tag along on his adventure. It gives it a little spice because she is a very funny and entertaining woman.
The cliche part is them starting off despising each other but end up catching feelings for each other.
The movie also pointed out a lot about Jones's character. For one, when they ended up in the middle of nowhere and the people offered them food, the blonde was very rude and refused to eat it. Jones put her in her place and told her to appreciate the giving from the needy. That shows that he is sincere and has a kind heart. Grateful and selfless. Also that he's smart to take what ever is offered. Survival of the fittest!

One other thing that shaped out who he is, is that when in a life and death situation once again, about to get locked in by a closing wall after finding this secret place, he took the chance of sending his hand back in for his HAT. Everybody knows Indiana Jones with the brown hat. But that symbolism showed me as if his hat was a part of him emotionally like he couldn't possibly go forward with his quest without it like Superman without his cape.
My favorite part is his little sidekick, Short Round, that little Asian is no typical Robin to Batman. A 10 year old driving? Completely unbelievable but makes it different from any other movie. It makes it weird but doesn't make Jones any less strong. Again just another good twist to a movie.
