Consensus: The fourth and supposedly last Highlander movie is a confusing mess, complete with bad acting and dialogue.

Runtime: 1 hr 41 mins

Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

Synopsis: The sword-wielding immortals are back--Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) from HIGHLANDER and Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) from television's HIGHLANDER series.

In HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME, the two MacLeods do battle across time and space (from 15th century Scotland to present-day New York). Their foe is the evil, ultra-powerful Jacob Kell (Bruce Payne). Kell's immortal purpose is to make Connor's immortal life miserable--Kell was responsible for the death of Connor's mother and his wife, Heather. Kell is assisted by Kate (Lisa Barbuscia)--she seeks revenge on Duncan for giving her no choice about becoming an immortal. The VHS and DVD releases feature an extended new cut of the film. [More]

Its story is so incompetently constructed that the long lulls between nonsensical action scenes make you wonder if it was written by a prepubescent fan.

Just in case this dog's breakfast of an action mess ... has some appeal to the adolescent generation, we forced a 10-year-old to attend Highlander: Endgame with us. His take: 'This movie sucks.'

Too many time trips detract from the present, and their comic shenanigans border on embarrassing.

They crammed a lot of bad, bad stuff into such a short flick.

If you're a fan, there could be something here to keep you involved and maybe leave you satisfied. But for newcomers, it's an uphill battle to make sense of it all and just about impossible to care.

As is the case with most sequels, the quality is much lower than the original.

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?

Adrian Paul carries the burden here, making Endgame feel like an extended episode of the popular television show.

It ranks somewhere alongside -- well, sitting through Star Trek Generations again.

There is ... something about [the immortals] getting a special charge when they actually manage to kill each other. Personally, I would have gotten a really big charge if I could have killed them all.

It's a cut above Highlander II and III, though that's sort of like saying rotting cheese tastes better than raw sewage.

A dreadful, time-traveling, almost incomprehensible [film].

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