Pros: So bad that it's funny to watch. Cons: So bad that it's sad.
Hi Lander
I used to be a huge Highlander fan a few years ago. I had seen the first movie and was addicted to the syndicated television show with Adrian Paul. Sure the Highlander tales are a little cheesy after the first movie, but you have...
Pros: It at least looks nice, and really doesn't deserve this kind of audiovisual treatment. Cons: Way too many to sum up in 15 words.
The idea of trying to turn a successful movie into a franchise is nothing new in Hollywood. Odds are if a film finds some success in theatres, a sequel idea will at the very least be developed. Most of the time, it's a logical extension of the story. ...
Warning: I give away the ending, but don’t consider this a disservice. I may actually be doing you a favor. When I first saw this movie, I was utterly confused. It seemed as though someone had taken two characters from the first film (Ramirez and ...
Pros: Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert's laugh. Cons: "Plot", characters, music, setting, entire premise that the movie is based upon, etc.
Words fail me. I'm not saying that to be eloquent in communicating an awe and respect inspired by a film of staggering artistry. I'm saying it because I literally just finished watching Highlander 2 on DVD and now I know why it was only $9.99 at...
Highlander II: The Quickening (1991) no stars out of * * * * * There are bad movies that are so bad they become enjoyable for all their faults, and there are bad movies so bad that the enjoyment one could get from bad ...
Pros: Some decent photography, and Sean Connery- never mind the rest of it! Cons: Uhhhh, where did THIS story come from? Lambert's old man makeup and that VOICE!
Want to watch a strange millennium screw-up movie, with no viable connection to the FIRST movie? Well, what are your standards for entertainment? Does it have to have a plausible story line? NO? Good, you can watch this one. Does it have to have a...
Pros: None whatsoever. Cons: That it was even made.
The original Highlander ranks as one of my favorite films of all time. Anyone who has seen the first one knows that the ending basically negated any possibility of a sequel (well at least IMO).
Pros: Action, Acting... I guess. Cons: Story... and Pretty Well Everything About It.
Highlander 2: The Quickening
Usually when a sequel comes out, and it is starring, produced by and directed by the same people responsible for making the first film a success, the sequel is as good as the first, or at least tolerable on...
This is one of those sequels that manages to totally destroy the intriguing ambiance of the original movie (however, probably the first to do such damage). I had become an avid fan of the first movie, being one of the lucky ones to discover it well...
Pros: Could have been imaginative. Cons: There can be only ONE. One. NOT TWO!
Does anyone else think that the Green Party is the worst thing to happy to Hollywood since B-movies? I mean, think about all of the damn pro-environment movies that have been shoved down the throat of America since the mid eighties. Think about Disney...
Pros: Sean Connery, Michael Ironside, and some action scenes. Cons: Whatever's left. This has to be one of the worst films of all time!
Oy...
I was lucky enough to have not seen the original version of "Highlander 2", but I still have the Renegade Version, and it isn't that big of an improvement. It was still the greatest mistake I have made in video purchase. ...
Pros: None Cons: The movie destroys the first one's story
After being entranced by the story of a sword-wielding immortal in Highlander, I bought tickets to see the 9:45pm showing of Highlander 2 The Quickening. As the 7:15pm showing ended and people started to file out, I recognized one of my friends and...
Pros: Almost an ok movie if you don't know about the first Highlander Cons: Ruined the whole idea in the first Highlander
Highlander 2: The Quickening makes some type of effort to explain why the Immortals were on Earth, and it just made a big mess out of everything. If you don't know, here is the original story of Highlander. There were people running around who could...
Pros: nothing Cons: The entire concept of this film.
Have you ever woken up after a nite of extreme inebrieation and thought to yourself "why did I do that?". That was my reaction as I finished watching this film.
I had always been a fan of the orignial Highlander movie and the...
