Reviews for Highlander: Endgame
The fourth sequel to a film designed to stand alone... In the end, there should have been only one.
01/01/00
The special effects are cheap and not at all impressive. For a series that relies heavily on sword fighting, it too is surprisingly second-rate.
02/27/01
It quickly goes astray with fight scenes laden with too many bullets, too many explosions, too many sparks, lightning bolts and weird lights -- and too many impalings.
01/01/00
Why interrupt the blissful endorphin rush of grisly sword/martial arts/automatic weapon melees with a lot of clumsy exposition on matters that hold subzero interest for 99.9% of the audience?

Highlander: Endgame is truer to the original than the sequels, but it plays more like a television program than a theatrical release, which will matter little to the die-hard fans.

Overall, there's just not enough story here.
01/01/00
Adrian Paul carries the burden here, making Endgame feel like an extended episode of the popular television show.

We're left to endure this banquet of bad acting and worse dialogue with no relief save for your inner-heckler.

The dialogue is cheesy, and the story's decapitated long before any character's noggin goes flyin'.
01/01/00
It's a cut above Highlander II and III, though that's sort of like saying rotting cheese tastes better than raw sewage.
01/01/00
You know a sequel serves no other purpose than to make money when it has no respect for the rules and history it has set up for itself.

Kate complains about being an immortal, grousing about 'the endless, numbing sameness of it all.' I know how she feels.
01/01/00
This film feels like a torturously overlong TV episode, and it takes itself so seriously that it has none of the camp value of the original film or the show's sword 'n' sorcery competition.
01/01/00
A fitting coda for a franchise that respects its audience with creative flights of fancy.
01/01/00
Thanks to its motley collection of story elements, settings, and acting styles, leaving this film is like getting off an amusement park ride you never wanted on in the first place.
02/08/03
The leading contender for worst film of the year.
