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.

Watching it again after about 20yrs, it doesn’t quite hold up as much as I remember it. Still a great story though.

A Frenchman playing a Scotsman
A Scotsman playing an Egyptian

What’s not to love.

Looking forward to the Cavill remake which should be coming out soon

Definitely, the special effects are very old, but the story is original.

Interesting concept: immortals bound by fate & combat, kill each other until only one remains. The dual timelines give it flavor & Queen’s soundtrack elevates everything. Connor is a compelling enough lead & the swordplay feels mythic. It’s rough around the edges but imaginative.
