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.

1 - 20 (sorted by rotten rating; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticLambert is as uncharismatic as ever, while Van Peebles is as frightening as a wrestler in mock angry mood, and just as ridiculous.

Top CriticLame, but in a good way.

11/19/03
The most illogical of the trilogy.
01/01/00
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!).

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

How tough could it be to make a "Highlander" that makes sense?
07/26/02
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?
