| Entertainment InsidersJonathan W. HickmanAll action and little story made for an entertaining followup to the adventure classic. |
| KFOR Channel 4 NewsBlake DavisOne of Steven Spielberg's best movies, because he for once isn't trying to say anything at all. He's just having fun. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayThe worst of the bunch - but still has moments of fun. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie is one of the most relentlessly nonstop action pictures ever made, with a virtuoso series of climactic sequences that must last an hour and never stop for a second. It's a roller-coaster ride, a visual extravaganza, a technical triumph, and a whole lot of fun. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisThere is little to appreciate here in terms of craft or characterization--but the whole thing bounces along so damn nicely, who cares? |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoSome tonal miscues and a clumsy love story can't derail action this good, this breath-taking. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsIn retrospect, there's something hateful about this picture that's energizing. It's a f**ked Freudian funhouse of freakishly personal divorce anxiety. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertSet years before the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is sillier, darkly violent and a bit dumbed down, but still great fun. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Patrick GibbsWith the action nonstop there is no time for mere acting, much less for a coherent plot. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewPart of the trouble is that anything clearly does go, including the slender hold on credibility that Raiders managed to maintain. |
