Pros: Good action scenes, clever premise, spawned a fine television show Cons: The script and acting are sub-par
A cult classic that delivers sporadically, this film spawned two theatrical sequels plus a very popular (and superior) syndicated television program. It has clever moments and an interesting plot, but suffers due to how dated it feels and the...
Pros: Mythic tale of love and adventure. Infinitely rewatchable. Christopher Lambert in a kilt. Soundtrack-by Queen! Cons: They exist, but I forgive them all.
Highlander (1986) Directed by Russell MulchayConnor MacLeod: You look like a woman you stupid haggis. Ramirez: Haggis? What is haggis? Connor MacLeod: Sheep's stomach stuffed with meat and barley Ramirez: ...
Pros: Swords are cool Cons: Shallow plot, Flat characters, Lack of development
In a nutshell, this movie is about the fact that, throughout the course of human history, men have occasionally been born who were actually Immortals. These men do not age, and can only be killed if they are decapitated. Now, they are all being drawn...
Pros: Connery, Lambert and especially Brown, sword fights. Cons: Special FX, poor subplot development.
"Conner Macleod" (Christopher Lambert in his most famous role) is unlike any other man. He is an immortal, born in Scotland in the early-1500's. Four centuries later, he is in New York City, as an antique dealer who the police suspect him for murder in ...
Pros: Connery. Fight scenes. Cons: Lambert can't act. Cheesy SFX. The Queen soundtrack get a little oppressive at times.
"Highlander" was one of those '80s movies. It came on the slack side of the wave started by "Star Wars" in 1976. Highlander stars Christopher Lambert as Conner MacLeod, a Scotsman from the Highland (thus, "Highlander...) born early in the 16th ...
Pros: The concept of immortals Cons: Poor character development, poopy special effects and film quality (which is due to the age of the film), a bit slow in parts
My boyfriend insisted that I watch "Highlander". If it hadn't been for that, I'm not sure if I would have watched this movie or not. I had known about the story behind it, since he had already explained it to me, and because I had caught...
I remember first becoming aware of Highlander in high school. (It was right around the time that the TV series began.) There were a lot of other students that were fans of the movie and the series. It took a while, but I finally got into the show, and ...
Pros: Decent storyline, imaginative, good soundtrack Cons: Special effects are sadly lacking
My husband is a big fan of the Highlander movies, and as a treat I decided to get him the original film on DVD from Amazon with some vouchers that I had earned through taking surveys. If memory serves me correctly I paid somewhere in the region of £4.97 ...
Pros: some scenes staged in 16th century Scotland were interesting Cons: unexceptional acting, action fizzled into a cartoon/video-game type of look and feel
I don’t understand the popularity of this film. Aside from some good costume work and some interesting location shots, this film has nothing going for it. That it has a cult following, of any kind, must be entirely due to its support by people who are...
Pros: Great sword fights, novel idea that has not been done to death (until they started making cheesy sequels) Cons: They made more movies and they shouldn't have....but that doesn't effect this movie at all...
Ok, I hope that everyone already knows what this movie is about. If not, I will run through a REAL quick plot summary...a REAL quick one. I do not like giving away the plot to a movie, because either you have seen it and don't need me to or you haven't...
Pros: Terrific swordplay. Great music by Queen. Quick pacing. Cons: A lot of effects look cheesy and dated now. Acting is spotty at times.
I scanned over some of the other reader reviews here before I started typing my own. I constantly saw complaints of terrible acting, bad pacing and the basic butchering of what many admitted was a killer storyline. I'll admit that this movie has some...
Pros: Story, Action, Acting and Story. Cons: Average special effects.
Well, since I can not tell a lie to the Epinions community, I have to tell you the truth. By all rights, this film should be one of the worst films ever made. Just one of the reasons is this: "Highlander" stars Christopher Lambert (who is...
Higlander.. I love this movie.. the players, the plot, the special effects, the camara movements.. the music..Sean he his the best. If you like SF, magical plots, sword fighting and great music it's a "have to see" movie. The Crow and Dune are...
