Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Stupid, flat and racist
Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of Indiana Jones. That includes Raiders pf the lost ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Two great movies. This one is different. It features the two most annoying characters in movie history - Short Round and Willie Scott. Kate Capshaw got lucky - clearly a talent free 'actress', she got to marry Steven Spielberg. Otherwisenshe would not have landed any more roles after this one. All she does is running around screaming.
What really annoys me is the stupid, stereotypical portray of India. Fake gurus and emperors eating disgusting stuff like snakes filled with snakes, soup with eyes and monkey brains on ice.
The plot is flat, the script is stupid, the acting is pathetic. Spielberg what were you thinking?
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
Stupid propaganda of the worst kind
In 1985 when this action movie was released, it must have looked state of the art in terms of special effects. Also, it was released at the peak of the cold war which spawned other nonsense movies like Red Dawn and Missing in Action. Almost 30 years on, the action sequences still look OK but to watch the movie is just painful. The story is dumb and lame. Sly Stallone is even worse than usual. Even the most patriotic American must feel embarrassed to watch this. After Rambo released the POWs from Vietnam all by himself against a bunch of one- dimensional Russians, he would return in 1987 to single-handedly kick the Russians out of Afghanistan. That one was even worse. I still enjoy watching cheesy 80s movies. However, this one I did not like back then and I hate it even more now.
