I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

When people talk about Highlander, they usually claim that the horrible sequels ruined everything, that the first movie was a masterpiece etc. The simple truth is that Highlander was garbage from the beginning. If you remove the unnecessary sex, bad language and violence, It's just a bad saturday morning cartoon. Terrible sword fights, cheesy music, the big bad villain is a clown like Bebop or Rocksteady...the part where Cohner McLeaughd wins the price would fit in nicely in a He-Man episode. "I have the pooowuuhhrrrr!"This movie is no different. Names like "General Katana", "Planet Zeist" and Captain Planet-style environmentalism. It's almost unfair to compare it to a saturday morning cartoon, because Highlander 2 makes Care Bears look like How Green Was my Valley.The worst thing about this piece of cow dung is when General Katana (sigh) takes over the subway train and kills a lot of innocent people. They actually show a baby and its mother getting killed. After the baby-killing, the villain cracks a "funny" joke. It's sick and evil...you shouldn't be allowed to do that in movies. You don't mess with babies (or old ladies). Someone should spank the director...but he would probably enjoy it.Terrible movie. Stay as far away from this as possible.

And somebody in Hollywood said: "Highlander one was a stand alone film, and it turned out really good and people absolutely loved it. It was one of the most popular movies in the box office and made a lot of money." And someone else from Hollywood said: "Great Point. Let's take everything that everyone loved about the first one and retcon it away into something entirely different and try to make more money." How the heck did that happen? The Game was one in the first movie.And it is a movie about immortals. They literally had all of human history in which to make another film and stay true to "The Highlander." Instead they destroyed the franchise on its second outing. "Rape" would actually be an appropriately weighted word for what they did to it.And the fans, the critics, and movie goers in general all hated it.It wasn't redeemed again until the TV series did it right once more.

I've heard so much about the wretchedness of this movie, and also because I'm a huge fan of the original, I really had to sit down and watch this apparently hilariously bad movie. So, I sat down, watched it, and found myself laughing my socks off the whole way through! This movie is just so bad on so many levels, and boggles the mind so many times, you really can't help but laugh. I mean, was this meant to be an action movie? Because the decisions made in the practically non-existent story and the almost impossible events that occur will leave you in stitches!So what's the muffin? In 1994 the Ozone layer is fading, and thus a mortal Connor MacLeod comes up with a shield that will block out the sun and thus save the planet, at the expense of the fact that it would cause ecological devastation and wipe out humanity in many other ways, but whatever. Anyway, apparently the Immortals from the last movie weren't just a select few for an unknown reason, no, no, they were aliens, banished from the Planet Zeist 5,000 years earlier to earth and granted immortality as punishment(?!) Hey, if that's punishment, sign me up for more!Anyway, because the evildoer who runs Zeist named General Katana (imaginative name if ever there was one) is apparently bored and he decides 5,000 years after MacLeod left the planet that he should now kill him, and thus teams up with the evil leader of the Planetary Shield to hunt down and destroy MacLeod.So, what specifically is wrong with this movie? Well, apart from the fact that it takes everything established in the previous movie and turns it on its head is a bad start. The number of gaping plot holes in this movie would be enough to sink Greenland, for example, how calling someone's name can make them magically appear from the dead? What on earth happened there?!But it get's worse, the acting is as hokey as you could possibly get, the special effects are laughably fake, the fight choreography isn't as good as the original, the villain, and for that matter any of the other characters, have nothing to make them interesting, and basically, if you happened to watch this movie first rather than the original movie, you wouldn't know who any of these characters are because there is little to no reference to the original. The idea of a sequel is to build on the previous movie with at least some reference to it so as to enhance the story, but this one appears to be made up as it goes!Overall, it's a jumbled mess, but incredibly funny to watch. I was just astounded the first time I saw this as to how wrong they could possibly make this film! I totally recommend you watch this film if you're in the mood for a laugh, especially if you've seen the previous film, because like myself you'll probably be giggling till your sides hurt!

Years after battling the Kurgan in Scotland and New York, Connor MacLeod and his suave mentor, Juan Villa-Lobos Ramirez, are back, tracking time warps and are having new adventures. The Kurgan may have been vanquished, remember decapitation is the only way of being killed if you are a highlander - but now there are new and more powerful foes to counter in an even more hostile world.This film starred: Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery &Michael Ironside.Sometimes if films are so bad, I can enjoy them like Batman and Robin, however I can't even enjoy this one because it is so bad it makes you cringe your life away. Stick to the first film as this and probably the other sequels are a waste of time.
