Highlander was a pretty good idea often ruined by terrible execution. Even the first movie, which I give credit to for originating the idea, doesn't really hold up that well, and Christopher Lambert was never a great actor. Adrian Paul in the Highlander series was, to me, much more believable, and that series usually more watchable than any of the films. I would welcome a high quality reboot of the franchise.
True, that. |

I love Highlander. Great movie. But it doesn't hold up as well over time. I still enjoy watching it but...
As long as a reboot follows the same premise/idea as the first and ignores Highlander 2 and the sequels completely, then it will be okay. Some franchises I don't mind if they do a reboot/restart/reimagining. But yes, Highlander 2 = Midichoralians. Notice how even Lucas realized he f++ked up and never mentioend them after the first movie.

Clancy Brown is a god and there will never be another Kurgan. Except ME!

I love the original and I enjoyed the 4th one.. 2 and 3 were awful.
I'll say this much for a remake, no one will play Kurrigan like Clancy Brown. |

Forget it. We wish we could. It does not exist and if there was a God he would wipe it forever from existence.

Anyway... I'm more a Highlander TV series fan (AMANDA FTW), but the first movie was pretty cool.

Yep, first movie and the tv series is all that counts. I'm all for a remake as long it's done right.

Highlander had an interesting premise. But director Mulcahey is a hack video director. A poor man's Micheal Bay. Who knew a guy in kilts would be cool way before Braveheart.
The sequels and tv series was awful. This premise has been done before but with vampires with much better critical and commerical success. Immortals walking the earth whinning about their immortality. Boohoo! Immortality is a cheap way to do time travel. No special effects needed. A reboot would be welcome if they avoid the cgi laden effects work. The silly immortal sword fight showdown is the same as the secret island martial arts tournament in kungfu movies. Don't go there. There is a story to be told. But others have told it better. Last edited by Kungfuguy; 05-02-2009 at 10:03 PM.. |

Loved the first movie, HATE the second one, kinda like the third one, Endgame was very cool especially the brotherhood between Duncan and Connor, The Source can kiss my arse DAMN that movie is on the same level of suck with the second movie. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the series and The Raven.
P.S im still waiting for the new game to come out next year. |
