Customer Reviews of Highlander - Endgame
As good as the 1st if not better I had missed the chance to see the movie in the theatres so I spent half a year waiting for it to come out on DVD. As soon as it did, I went out and bought it. I had been watching the series for a while a few years ago up until cancellation, and now it plays re-runs on Sci-Fi Channel, and I try not to miss those. The series was always awesome and brought back the better feel of how and why the immortals were on Earth, not the alien BS that the second one brought about and the vague and pointless reasons a third movie was made...but End Game just basically brought Highlander back into "The Game" so to speak as far as a genre goes. You shouldn't have to watch the 2nd or 3rd movies to have to understand End Game, but the first movie is helpful...and some knowledge from the series as well. A must-have film for any sci-fi action fan and definitly for any Highlander fan. There can be only one...and this is it.
Highlander franchise redeemed?
Here's the story of the Highlander franchise: Highlander, Highlander: The Quickening, Highlander: The Series (ignores the end of Highlander in which Connor MacLeod actually won the Prize and ignores Highlander: The Quickening completely), Highlander: The Final Dimension (ignores Highlander: The Quickening completely and Highlander: The Series) and finally Highlander: Endgame (ignores the end of Highlander in which Connor MacLeod actually won the Prize, ignores Highlander: The Quickening completely and ignores Highlander: The Final Dimension completely).
Pretty confusing stuff! The original Highlander is one of my favorite movie. It's a cult classic with strong performance by Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery and a very cool over-the-top performance by Clancy Brown. The second (The Quickening) is one of the worst movie ever made and completly destroy the magic and the mystery of the original Highlander. The series was not very good neither very bad. Actually, the quality of the series has grown with the passing years as well as the performance of Adrian Paul. It has introduce new interesting concept such as The Watchers. The third (The Final Dimension) expand the story of Connor MacLeod and is entertaining without destroying the magic and the mystery of the first one.
The last chapter of the Saga (Endgame) is the best "sequel" of Highlander. The performance of Christopher Lambert is again very good and Adrian Paul is more mature and give a fair performance. Bruce Payne is the second best vilain in the franchise. The first part of the movie is very good and is "fluid" with the original Highlander story. The characters of Rachel and Heather are seen briefly but helps to bring a sense of continuity with the original. The story of Connor and Duncan and the introduction of Kell are well "inserted" in the original Highlander story with flashbacks. Concepts of the series, like The Watchers, are also added to the story. The last part of the movie is less interesting but entertaining. There is a very cool fight between Duncan and Jin and a great fight between Connor and Duncan that is very touching. The last fight is sadly not the best as for Bruce Payne is not as agile as Adrian Paul. The movie lose some interest as the film goes on but manage to be a very good movie.
If your not familiar with the series, Endgame can be very confusing because the movie takes many elements of the series such as the fact that Connor did not won the Prize, The Watchers, the character of Joe and Methos, etc. If you want to see the movie and your not a fan of the series, just remember the fact that Connor did not won the Prize and let yourself be part of the magic of Highlander... By the way, did you see that all "supernatural" parts of the trailer are not seen in the movie. I hope they will add those deleted scenes in the DVD.
Not quite the original, but better than 2 and 3
Highlander: Endgame...a fitting title to end the grand series with. In this one we have our friend Connor MacLeod and the upstart Duncan MacLeod battling together to rid the world of the most powerful of Immortals, who also happened to be a druid. The relationship with Connor and Duncan is parallel to the one of Ramirez and Connor from the first film. Bruce Payne was delightfully evil as the villian Jakob Kell. The only thing this movie was lacking in, was the seemingly rushed ending...I thought that it could have been better, but perhaps they were pressed for time before the release.
This two DVD set has some great features as well, the 'There Can Be Only One' game was amusing, and I had a bit of fun with that. Along with the character timeline, and the script to screen feature. The one feature that really struck me from this DVD that I wish more DVD's would do, was the early full-length cut of the film..with the poor sound and video quality.. It was refreshing to see the product before the polish, and see what the Director goes through in preparing that final edit for screen release.
If you are a fan of either film making, or the Highlander series, I recommend you at least check out this 2 DVD set.
