I love this mini-series and the one that followed, "V-The Final Battle". The special effects were really bad considering this was made 7 years after "Star Wars" but I just don't care. The story was great and I loved the characters. Is there anyone who didn't love the old grampa who survived a Nazi prison camp? Elias was awesome and Ham Tyler was just too cool. I really got the feeling that if something like that ever happened, people would behave the way they did in the movie. It seemed very realistic on an emotional level with heroism and treachery but mostly just a lot of people who were afraid to take a stand on either side. If you love movies with strong emotions and great characters, I highly recommend both movies. If you want to see great special effects...well, watch "Star Wars".

Highlander: Endgame
(2000)
Better than I thought it would be but not as good as I'd hoped.
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.
