mt1768 What can you say about the highlander sequels. Highlander II and Highlander the source are prime examples of complete cinematic failure and Highlander Endgame is just below average.I have heard a a lot of people say that this film is just terrible and barley any better than Highlander 2. This is a point I disagree with. While this movie has quiet a few problems, the biggest of which the story being almost completely duplicating the first. there are definitely are a few things that are good.What is good. In my humble opinion I think that that the performances are not half bad, both Christopher Lambert and Mario Van Peebles are good in their roles. The Special effects, While not great, are well used and fluid. And lastly the Action sequences a reasonably well done, while far from being the best ever put to screen they are o.k.As I said there are problems. The big one being, as I mentioned a bit further up, is the story. it is almost a complete copy of the first. Even a lot of the same things are done. such as the scene with Kane going in out of traffic with one of Conner's loved ones in the passenger seat.All in all this is not that bad a film but some people may have trouble sitting through it.

Morbius Fitzgerald Highlander 1 is a movie that should never have been considered for a sequel but unfortunately, executives wanted money so they pumped out as many sequels as they could, hoping the fans would like them. They didn't.Highlander 2 had WAY too many weaknesses. Setting Highlander in the future is really stupid and that movie said that they were from another planet. The director of THAT film saw the mess and tried to make a directors cut saying that Connor and Ramirez were exiles from the past which made me cringe even more.Then we have this. I will start with the compliments. The music is rather well scored and the fight sequences are - as usual - worth a watch and Christopher Lambert does the role of Connor justice as he does in the other 2 (he just needed a better script for the second one).Now the complaints. They introduce Sorcery in this film which destroys the first one because the premise of that universe is "Everything's normal except we have these immortals running around trying to cut off their head." What makes that even weirder to me is, even though they never say this, was that their excuse for the immortality? Its better than "the planet Zeist" but...its not great.They introduce a villain who has a deep voice and is like The Kurgan in the fact that he wants the prize that MacLeod apparently didn't get at the end of the first (???).The love interest happens to look like a girl that Connor bedded in the 1800's which destroys the character, Heather was his only love and when she died we are supposed to believe that Connor shut himself out from anyone else until Brenda Wyatt in 1986 New York. On that note where the hell was she in this? No information as to where she went, no "John, Take care of your mother".Overall this is a better sequel than "The Quickening" but its still crap.

doctardis This is probably the second best of the movies, but it is a long way down from the original. All Highlander stories are best when they interweave stories from the past and the current day. This movie does not do this well. Also, spoiler alert!!! Do not read further if you do not want to read the spoilers.The plot lines set in the present day in this movie are almost the same as the present day section of the first movie. In both movies, The evil immortal hires a prostitute, terrifies somebody by driving wildly, Connor falls in love, Connor warns the woman to stay away, etc Also this movie lacks enough action scenes. Mario Van Peebles does a nice job of the playing the bad guy, but he is not nearly as scary as the Kurgan. Christopher Lambert seems to be doing this for paycheck and looks like he is just going through the motions. The script has many holes in it and does not seem to make much sense even in the Highlander world much less the real world.

Son_of_Mansfield Except, it was called Highlander and it was made in 1986. Evil immortal kills good immortal's teacher in the past, hunts him in the future for "the prize", and the good immortal is in love. This is basically a copy of the original, and if you have the original, you don't need a copy. If, however, you just can't help yourself, this is superior to the first sequel in every imaginable way. The best addition is the smokey voiced Deborah Unger, who shows off her very shapely body in a sex scene. Mario Van Peeples is no Clancy Brown, but he gets his share of fun. His best scene is where he has a prostitute and she tells him, "No glove, no love." He unwraps the condom, tries to eat it, and then spits it out before ravaging her.
