Title: Highlander: The Source, new movie Saturday night @ 9:00 on SciFi
Post by: Dan M on September 14, 2007, 03:07:41 PM
Here it comes, people.  I'm so nervous. :)

Maybe it'll be good, but the fact that it couldn't get a theatrical release does not inspire great confidence.

I'm a huge Highlander fan, and I even grew to love the Duncan character even more than Conner, so I really want this to be great.  I hope it is.  We'll know tomorrow night.

Is the actor that played Duncan McCloud in the TV series, in this movie? He looks very similar. Maybe it's just a guy who looks like him.

Jen, yes that was Adrian Paul playing Duncan one last time.

darthcooley, I wish it was only as bad as Highlander 2.

I apologize if my creation of this topic caused anyone to sit through even a minute of this awful film.

Highlander is officially dead.

I weep for the franchise as I would a brother.

It was better than I expected.

I was expecting another butchering of the known history. It didn't answer any questions, but it also didn't return to being about aliens and time travelers. I guess I was just happy to see Mythos again.

Oh, that's a good point. 

Yeah, at least the planet Zeist wasn't mentioned.

I had a friend who basically told me, "You watched the first movie and that's all you need to see. Don't see the others or you'll be very disappointed."  I followed his advice and will continue to follow it.

BTW, did anyone ever watch the cartoon series? I was much younger then and I thought the cartoon was OK.  I don't think I would watch it now though.

The TV series, after starting out a little rocky, was great.  The fourth movie, Endgame, was "uneven".  It had some good points, especially in the DVD cut, but it had a few problems.  (Though less than the other sequels.)

I'll just stick with the first movie and the TV series and try to forget everything else.

Nathan and I watched part of it, and it did hold our attention.  We have to watch the whole thing soon.  The effects were ok, the acting was so so, and well, it's a bigger budget than most sci fi chanell shows.   But it got late and we didn't finish it yet.
