Highlander: The Source - Preview

I have been a great fan of The Highlander...moreso Adrian Paul than Christopher Lambert, although the original Highlander movie was very well done, the second flopped miserably. The third was better, there was too many loopholes between the two that made little or no sense. Endgame was far and away the best of the three sequels, primarily because of Adrian Paul's character, Duncan. I wish I could at least find the series in syndication somewhere. As it is, I'm buying the yearly sets wherever I can find them.

I have loved all the movies and the series. I did take issues with the origional cut of highlander 2 but Panzer-Davis fixed it and it was a little better. Now I am not going to sit and argue with anyone about wheather they were good or bad. I am a die hard fan and I liked them all. That is what makes me a die Hard fan.

All I want to know is that it is August 14 2007 and I have not seen a trailer for it and it is supposed to be released on the 15th of september. I want to know is it going to theater or DVD. I know that Endgame would have done better if they would have plugged the movie instead of just calling the fan club members.

So can anyone answer this. I am dieing with anticipation.

Thank You

well i like the whole franchise sure it could use some tweaks here and there be highlander 2 renegade version was not a bad movie endgame was great just to short the series what really made highlander the source rought cut of the film is alright just need a few more scenes and different dialogue i sick and tired of people bashing highlander if you dont like it dont watch it

For the most part, I think the review in pretty much on target. The original has never been equaled. The second was awful. the third an improvement, but still not that good. Endgame was a vast improvement over two and three,but still fell short. even A. Paul was disappointed with its final cut. I am hoping The Source brings back some on the Series magic. I miss good Hightlander. Hope for the best.

I wouldn't give Endgame as low as a 7%...and if you look at the "rest of the world" ratings and not the "cynical critic" ratings you see that Highlander 2 got 18%, Highlander 3 got 6% and Endgame a lofty 36%. So, 99 percent of the world thought them a "little" better than crap.

That being said, the he difference with this Source and the reason to give it a chance is that Adrian Paul is pretty much in charge.

Whatever you or I think of them, here's the general critical consensus on them:

Highlander Endgame: RT Rating - 7% fresh
Highlander 3: RT Rating - 0% fresh
Highlander 2: RT Rating 0% fresh
Highlander: 71% fresh

You may like them, but 99 percent of the rest of the world thinks they are crap. Reviews can't get much worse than that.

That's how I can say it.

Personally, I found a couple of those bad ones watchable... but I'm not going to try and say they're good movies. Just watchable. Which is a shame, since the first one, and the TV series are so great. Come on, Highlander fans have deserved better for a LONG time and haven't gotten it.

I cant believe what I just read. How can you say the films were that bad. Ok the second one was the worst movie i ever saw. But 3 was ok and "End Game" was the best one out of them all. It had Story and action. Witch is more then most movies have today. And honestly though Paul is good, no one can truly replace Lambert.
