Which Indiana Jones movie is the most divisive?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has an overall poor reputation as the most underwhelming entry in the franchise, but it isn’t actually the most controversial Indiana Jones film. There's no shortage of reasons why Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn’t very well-liked, one of which being the criticism that it was an unnecessary story that didn’t do anything new to advance the character’s journey forward.
Temple Of Doom Was Banned In India Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the second movie in the franchise, was actually banned in India upon release, and the crew was even forbidden to use the country for filming the project, which speaks volumes about just how harsh the response was. Set before Raiders of the Lost Ark, the story follows Indiana as he travels to India and attempts to save a small village from the dangers of a nearby cult by retrieving a magical gem from their grasp.
The opening sequence of Temple of Doom was also criticized for its portrayal of the Chinese culture, furthering the argument that it’s essentially an anti-Asian movie. In the scene, Jones is visiting a Chinese gangster in Shanghai in order to trade a precious artifact. The deal quickly goes sideways and the gangsters start shooting at Indy, until he’s forced to basically kill them all.
