"Maybe even better than Temple of Doom"

They should put that on the posters.

Damned with faint praise, indeed.

I enjoyed Temple of Doom, more as a kid but for a general adventure story it work for me. I've also been watching Red Letter Media's review of it recently so that may have skewed it higher. I always liked the idea of the old stories where someone could have an out of order adventure. For those that may not know we'd call it a prequel these days but it was modeled off of old stories that were just told for the same characters. Oddly whenever I try and create a cultist type story (Lovecraft and pulp) in my head it turns out very similar to Temple of Doom, so that probably impacts my opinion of it.
