Highlander

Loved this movie when it came out. Upon rewatch it does not hold up… at all.

A unique opportunity for a reboot. If done well could be a classic.

They had the money, the names, the material, the effects (sort of), the soundtrack... they basically had all the ingredients to cook up a classic. Unfortunately, they overcooked it and created an epileptic nightmare. Far too loud. Far too flashy. Far too long. Far too sloppy. The upcoming remake has all the potential it can. It has the director, the stunts, the music, and the cast. I just hope they don't overcook or even undercook it.

I can see the appeal, but aside from the Queen soundtrack, everything else seemed dull and rusty. 1/5

Not sure why this is a cult classic when nothing is done competently, and it’s too poorly paced and written to be entertaining. One of the worst lead performances I’ve ever seen. Excited to see what the Henry Cavill remake can do with the idea though

beyond stupid, awful lead actor, worst scottish accent I’ve ever heard…loved it
