Personally, I love TOD. Not only is it one of my favourite films, I think it's the best of the Indy series. There's a great story in there, it's just not quite as complex as Raiders'...

Even though it's my least favorite, I agree that there is a very interesting story in there (great way to put it, by the way).  If it had been made more seriously, the way Raiders was, it could have been a very nice second outing for the character we met in the first film. 

There are some moments that really shine.  I really dig the scene when Indy he first arrives in the village and talks to the residents - very Raiders feeling.  I also like the portion of the film where they're riding the elephants up to the palace - "don't come up here".  Again, a good, Raiders-esque portion.  Unfortunately,  they're quickly countered with comedy and silliness.
