Probably the best thing about this movie is the fictional accolade, "Oscar for Best Movie Ever Made" given to it by Ricky Bobby. The plot is very interesting but is not drawn out well and is vague. Yes it has Sean Connery as a 2,000 year old Egyptian dressed like Don Quixote, it...( read more)

has to be in my top five of worst ever movies. the plot is so miniscule it's barely even there. we see random duels and if they've got to kill each other then why do we only follow one protagonist? if the idea is for survival of one then how is there a good guy or a bad guy? it's...( read more)

One of the two "Queen" scored films that are more 80's than most can handle. Nothing likea French guy playing a Scottish guy...and a Scottish guy playing an Egyptian Spainard

My brown eye acts better than Christopher Lambert, but at least it's fun to watch.

"There can be only one!!"
Holy shit, why do I enjoy this film so much. Maybe because of the endless folklore surrounding the Highlander mythology, the loopholes in the rules, explained coyly by Sean Connery. Or maybe it's seeing Christopher Lambert's bare ass. No,...( read more)

June 18, 2008The first half was pretty good / intriguing. I really liked the flashbacks to all the time periods, especially the Scottish Highlands. The fight between Sean Connery the bad guy in the tower was SWEET, easily the highlight of the film.
However, the second half focused too much on the present day and showing how "creepy" and 1980's the badguy was. Highlander's developing relationship with 20th century forensics specialist felt empty compared to his original Scottish wife.
In the end, some cool stuff, but strange story, and weird ending. -
