Lambert is as uncharismatic as ever, while Van Peebles is as frightening as a wrestler in mock angry mood, and just as ridiculous.

What it can't copy is the first movie's sense of surprise: we're never jolted by any of the sword fights here as we were with the original's broadsword battle in a carpark.

An unbelievably trashy meltdown of the tartan warrior franchise.

How could an action-adventure film that cost $34 million, most of which clearly went into pyrotechnics, computerized special effects and scenic locations, end up looking cheap, silly and lifeless?

How tough could it be to make a "Highlander" that makes sense?

One of those uninspired films that gave sequels such a bad name.

The most illogical of the trilogy.

If it wasn't set eight years later, no one would never know the difference (and of course, never mind the ultra-cheesy, low-budget special effects!).

This is the end of the Highlander series, they say. Not an eon too soon.

Mostly the film morphs into a block of dullness.

As for Van Peebles, he's quite the ridiculous sight and sound.
