"There can only be one." muttered Christopher Lambert, ready to knock Sean Connery into eight million pieces.And quite frankly as many people can agree, there should have only been one.But unfortunately Hollywood always sees dollar signs in it's eyes and so that's why it's been running around like some cheapo Hanna-Barbera knock off and throwing all these so called "sequels" to the cult classic in our silly little faces.Many people run up to the hills and shout the second is the worst one of all. Others walk to the forest and laugh at the sheer cheapness of Endgame. And a few others choke up when The Final Dimension is mentioned. (Hey that rhymes but you won't give a crap.) But this miserable, this really really shoddy and miserable excuse for a sequel also cuts the mustard. In fact it doesn't just cut the mustard, it causes the mustard to explode onto the floor, making a gigantic mess of everything.That also explains the film's plot. It is quite frankly a gigantic mess, it honestly feels like the writers were running all over the place to find the most silliest plot devices as possible.Here's the deal matey, Duncan and a bunch of other no-ones must find something called "The Source." What is it? Well I don't have a bladdy clue because no one can be bothered to go into any detail on what it is and what it does.I hope you have a ton of beer and a couple of friends at the ready because this would surely make a fun drinking game. You all could take a drink and laugh out loud at all the childish Channel 5 level dialogue that the actors churn out of their mouths.Also I'm sure there must have been some decent effects somewhere... because at this point I can't find them at all. Just some incredible amount of dodgyness. Dodgy CG, dodgy models, dodgy everything. Even everyone's hair feels dodgy and I'm pretty sure that's not what they were going for, trust me.Every single one of the cast members looks bewildered by the silliness of it all, Adrian Paul looks like he walked out of a pub incredibly drunk and Jim Byrnes is crying on the inside of his brain, probably asking the producers could he leave so he can head back to Voice Acting Land? Everyone else is a bunch of unknowns and most of em can't act for toffee.Also there is no such thing as "Direction" as not a single bit of it is to be found here. Then again I didn't expect much from Brett "I made that Lawnmower Man film where all the effects looked cool back then but are now unbelievably awful to look at" Leonard.Final drill to your brain or your eyes or any part of the body is that it was done by the sheer mastermind of awfulness, Syfy. Ahhh yes, that channel that can do great programs and miniseries but can't make a film to save their lives. It's no wonder we keep getting cluttered with this kind of crap.Davis and Panzer (the producers trying to keep this dead horse of a franchise alive) pretty much agreed with us all so the plug was pulled on the franchise and despite news of a remake coming soon, no one has attempted to make a sequel ever since.Thank goodness for that, these sequels have been getting more sillier and sillier. It's like these films are actually a competition to see who can make the worst sequel. Mr Mulcahy still takes the cake with 2 but Mr Leonard ain't behind with this stinker.Fun for aficionados of truly bad cinema, painful for everyone else.

Okay you remember Adrian Paul and the cast from the old 1990's TV series? I admit that the TV series was corny at times but at least they tried to pull the story together in some way and used some good sword- fight scenes to spice it up.This movie is nothing like that, it has no real plot that you can follow. After watching it I am confused and appalled. It is ridiculousness beyond words for an established franchise. I have seen campy 80's horror movie sequels better put together than this.It starts out setting up what looks to be a tolerable story but after the first half an hour it fails to pick back up again.It gets worse, not only do they run around on some wild goose chase and throw random characters in without much explanation as to who they are, they use cartoonish special F/X. I and my sister ended up laughing all the way through it.As a Highlander fan I feel downright insulted by the disregard for quality in this film.

i know everyone else seems to hate this film but they wouldn't know a good film if it jumped up and bit them on the you know what, i loved the first highlander but the second and third are utter guff the second makes me violently sick, this film is amazing the bad guy is well cheesy but great when he first meets macloud some of the stuff he says made me laugh for a week, the acting is a little poor but i loved the idea of the source and its power and the guardian being very hard, even his gimp suit cracked me up followed by him singing the old films theme tune utter genius, duncan is the man especially after the end game which was cool, i hope they bring out more if only for my benifit, i am also known for watching millions of films from pans labryinth to usual suspects to predator aliens and many more awesome films so trust me this is great fun peace out brothers and sisters
