Before we move away from Indiana Jones I must confess that I don’t consider Raiders the masterpiece everyone makes it out to be. Sure, it’s a great homage to action adventure movie serials and the adventure pulp novels of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century featuring rugged men exploring exotic faraway locales, but for whatever reason it doesn’t thrill me as much as Temple of Doom does.
As for Willie Scott, I’ve never had any issues with her being a shallow airhead, plus I always have found her miles ahead of Marion Raven in the looks department (yes I know, it’s shallow as hell).
Frankly, apart from Temple, I am largely indifferent to the Indiana Jones movies.
