Highlander: Endgame (2000)

Better than I thought it would be but not as good as I'd hoped.

[8/10 · 3 September 2000]

I was so afraid that this would be as bad as the Highlander sequel movies but it wasn't. I wanted it to be as good or better than the series and the first movie but it wasn't that either. All in all, I enjoyed it. It was nice to see Duncan and Connor together again. The fight scenes were cool and the story idea was great. The writing was pretty weak and the editing was disjointed. The scenes were beautifully shot except for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the film which looked to have been done by a junior high film student. Did anyone see that night sky behind Duncan? Lame. Disney does more realistic starry skies and they're animated. The inconsistencies continue to amaze me. Everything after the first movie (you know, where the Prize was awarded) is one giant plot hole but it's easy to overlook that because Connor and Duncan are so likeable. It doesn't seem though that anyone even tried to keep it consistent after that, and the movie has a few things that just seem to come out of left field. I gave it an 8 because in spite of those things, I liked everything except the end.
