generationofswine So 14 years have passed since the first Highlander movie...in which Connor won the prize but yet still spawned 2 horrible sequels that retconned it and then retconned it again.But in that time they created Highlander the Series...with Duncan and that was actually good. It still ignored the fact that Connor already won the game, but it stayed a heck of a lot truer to the original and was actually amazingly good up until the final season...which was made to find a spin-off and it showed.But because the series was so good, and had so many fans from the first Highlander movie and developed so many fans of their own...they decided to make a movie......Again...Connor was in the first episode of the TV series, but it really came into it's own in the 6 years that followed and...well...it grew apart from the original film.Plus, despite the fact that 14 years had passed between Highlander and Highlander End Game, Christopher Lambert who plays Connor aged 50 years and he's supposed to be playing an ageless immortal.It really could have done without him. It should have done without him.But they threw him in there anyway.And they tried to twist a story around the both of them, Connor and Duncan that never exactly worked. Whilst doing this, they sacrificed screen time for the supporting cast of the TV series that the fans all came to know and love.What they gave was a promise of turning the series into a movie franchise. What they returned was a movie that was afraid to let Duncan and the supporting cast stand alone (even though they did for 6 years) and made a film about an aging immortal and his cousin.Needless to say it failed and the producers, making just as many mistakes as they had in Highlander II--albeit entirely new ones--and in the process lost the opportunity to make the series into a movie franchise.Had they stayed with the theme of the television show, stayed true to those types of stories, it all would have gone over better. There were more stories to tell and they had a great cast to use.They blew it.

WakenPayne I did enjoy the original Highlander. My brother watched it and enjoyed it and asked me to watch it after that. Then I wanted to watch Highlander 2 because I heard it's crap and sometimes that could be just what people need in movie watching (strange?... I know). My brother ended up watching ALL the Highlander sequels and told me that this one was quite clearly the best sequel.For starters this movie is not really what I call perfect. The Watchers didn't make any sense to me. I'm sorry but I really don't see the point in them. Maybe I have to watch the TV Series to make sense of them. Especially when they say the villain is a "rogue".The plot of this movie is actually very good. The plot is that Duncan MacCleod finds out that his brother Connor has had a man with a 400 year old grudge against him. They decide to team up and kill him. It may sound simplistic but it is executed better than any of the other live action Highlander sequels.I did enjoy the character development of this movie. I really enjoyed the part where Duncan has to kill Connor in order for Duncan to gain enough strength to fight Jacob Kell (The antagonist). That part would have to be my favourite part out of this whole movie.So this movie does leave a lot of unanswered questions (like how immortals are still running around for starters) but I am sure that the TV Show will clear everything up. If you want to watch a good continuation of Highlander then I will suggest this to you.

U.N. Owen Christopher Lambert made the first HIGHLANDER in '86. Highlander: ENDGAME was mad 25 years later.Time has not been kind to Mr. Lambert. His face has aged - not good if you're supposed to be 'immortal' - so, many of Me. Lambert's scenes are... 'misty.'I'm not begrudging either the film, Nor Mr. Lambert - however it's disconcerting to see someone who played the same role as a strong, vital, youthful actor, and then, to see him, and try to ignore what is plain to see.I DO like the HIGHLANDER franchise, and, I think that, with this one - the last (as far as THIS series is considered), is a fine farewell to it.

ggamiog I don't like this movie. It destroy any consistency of the Highlander movie's universe. They killed the hero. The producers ruined the original concept made by G. Widen. The movie has not the mystery of H1. That seems a simple action movie with karate noises. I think G.Widen should be angry with this movie. He leaved the project when knew they decided kill Connor.Without Connor, the highlander idea has no sense.Its a bad chapter of the series. Just that.
