Could you point out where you saw edge enhancement? I have watched all 3 now, and couldn't find any.....Note that this is a minor issue... I don't want to make too big a deal about it. Overall, the picture is fabulous.
In Temple of Doom, chapter 9.
Here is a screenshot (detail, unedited):
It's more visible viewing just the Red Channel
The blue channel shows the blue chroma noise (blooming)
In Last Crusade, chapter 1.

I had commented on the "dinner" scene from ToD, but viewing on a different display, I was unable to see what I had seen on first viewing. I have deleted the comment from my review. I'll attribute that particular problem to improper rendering from the display. With all the shiny baubles and deep reds in that scene, some displays may have issues which have nothing to do with edge enhancement.
Again, the picture on all of these films is outstanding - any edge enhancement is only visible under just the wrong, high contrast conditions. I'd be interested in comments from people who have a projector to view this on.

Rumours are still abounding as to what will be included so let's clear some up. There will be no standalone deleted scenes. Yes, they do exist, but neither Steven Spielberg nor George Lucas wants them included as they feel the movies are perfect as they are.So according to this article Lucas is in accord with Spielberg regarding omitting the deleted scenes. Just as evil, greedy and unfeeling towards the fans as ever. :p)
Is there any other sequel in the history of cinema--other than Temple of Doom--that is actually criticized for being DARKER than the original?Certainly "Babe: Pig in the City" suffered from this criticism.

I don't care what anyone says. I absolutely love "Temple of Doom." Remember Spielberg's famous sound bite from 1984? "It's not called Indiana Jones and the Temple of ROSES. The warning is CLEARLY marked on the box!"I haven't seen this movie in 20 years, but my recollection is that it just felt too unrealistic. Yes, I know the first one wasn't realistic, but jumping out of a plane upped the anti a bit too far for my taste.
That said, I probably could have forgiven that moment if not for Kate Capshaws constant annoying screaming.
It'll be interesting to see if I feel the same way 20 years down the road.
Regardless, I'm really looking forward to Raiders and the Last Crusade.

My problem is the opposite: the film is too goofy, playing too hard for laughs everywhere. The opening scene is case and point.I am glad you pointed this out, because it helps make my point. I don't think people really dislike TOD because it is "darker"; it's more along the lines you mention.
Hasn't BTTF II been called darker than the original?Sure it has, and that's one reason why some didn't like it as well as the light hearted original. Of course I like them all, same as I do with Indy trilogy. I agree with others that if Kate Capshaw's constant screaming wasn't there, the darkness would've ruled. still, it was my favorite as a kid, but now Raiders is. Bring 'em all on though. I'm ready! Great review, btw.
