Highlander: Endgame (2000)
directed by Douglas Aarniokoski
A curious movie. It doesn’t have the filler-episode feeling of the the third one, or the WTF insanity of the second one, but it’s not really good either. It follows the known formula: flashbacks to the past, fights between immortals, some nearly invincible immortal and general sins from the past that haunt the McLeod’s in the present. It feels like someone tried too hard to capture the spirit of the first movie and of the good parts of the TV-series, but instead created a collage that makes you feel like seeing Frankenstein’s Highlander movie. It is alive, but only in a zombielike way. And the über-immortal turns out to be completely emo and bend on revenge on Lambert (who looks really old, makes you glad this was his last Highlander movie). Overall, it’s watchable and somehow entertaining (I was never bored), but like the other sequels it’s completely inferior to the first movie and you’ll wonder why they are still making sequels, as if there’s a need for more Highlander movies.
Rating: 2/5
