Poor copycat movie of the first one. It really feels as if the Highlander story has no more to give us

*SPOILERS*

Highlander III: The Sorcerer (1994) is a poor copycat movie of the first one in the franchise. This is a far superior film to Highlander II but it is really a copy of the first one. ... It really feels as if the Highlander story has no more to give us but that would be very wrong. It used to be my second favorite film in the franchise but not anymore!! Christopher Lambert returns as Connor MacLeod as the protagonist who has to face against a new dangerous and powerful enemy; An extremely powerful sorcerer known as Kane (Mario Van Peebles) who threatens to win the fabled "Prize" in order to gain world domination by eliminating Macleod.

Plot: Deceived that he had won the Prize, Connor MacLeod awakens from a peaceful life when an entombed immortal magician comes seeking the Highlander.

This movie has a tons of problems while people are trashing Highlander II: The Quickening idiots! You give this hack job of a movie a better rating than Highlander 2: Renegade Version?! This is a joke. Highlander 3 is at its best when it's ripping off the first film and at its worst when it tries to add in sub-plots that go no-where.

Connor MacLeod has suddenly a son? Really? Are you people that stupid! The immortals can't have kids! Why would MacLeod adopt a son is stupid and ridicules! Brenda is suddenly killed in this movie with a weird explanation! Kane The Sorcerer (Mario Van Peebles) want's to win the fabled "Prize" in order to gain world domination. Haven't we saw that in the first movie when the Kurgan wanted to win the "Prize" by eliminating MacLeod?!

Lt. John Stenn (Martin Neufeld) says the dialogues like that he was in the first movie, when in fact the character was never mentioned or seen in the first movie!!!!! The character Lt. John Stenn miraculously disappears from the movie without any explanation!

Kane The Sorcerer (Mario Van Peebles) kidnaps MacLeod's fake son ( Gabriel Kakon) and uses him as bait by playing the same trick with a car that The Kurgan played on Brenda by kidnapping her and dragging her in the car and hitting people on the street. I saw that scene in the first movie already gosh!

Kane The Sorcerer (Mario Van Peebles) has sex with a prostitute, haven't we already see that in the first movie?

The end of a sword fight the battle in the power plant when we see the sword battle between MacLeod and Kane, during the battle you can see a stuntman for Christopher Lambert doing the sword fights which the fight is a fake! Why is doing a stuntman all the work for Christopher Lambert? Couldn't he do it his stunts him self, like he did in the second one?!

Why this movie has so many titles? It is stupid! The Sorcerer, The Magician, The Final Dimension and The Final Conflict?! That is beyond stupid! Like producers didn't know what title they should use for this movie! Geesh!

What is so epic about this movie than we saw in the first two movies? I think with the power plant this movie tried to rip off Terminator 2 and I Come in Peace (1990)!

This movie is rated PG-13 not R, the first two movies a rated R not PG-13 you morons!

I am sorry, but this is a terrible awful film! The only thing I liked in this movie is the song Bonny Portmore by Loreena McKennitt. It tried to follow the story the of the first film which it ruined with coping it! I liked that the film was also shot in Castle Tioran, Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, UK that is the only thing I liked. I also like MacLeod making his own sword and the song Bonny Portmore is played by Loreena McKennitt that was epic. There are almost only three things I liked about this movie.

I also liked Highlander entering abandoned power plant for the final battle I like that and I like the music score playing during the fight. that is all.

The rating is F 1/10 for me I am not reviewing Endgame and The Source they both suck and they are even worst than this one!
