The first “Highlander” was good but it wasn’t amazing; it’s staggering to believe there have been several sequels and tv shows based on it. Like the other sequels this film feels exhausted and terrible but this one serves as a bridge between the movies and the tv show.

In “Highlander: Endgame”, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert “Mortal Kombat”, “Fortress”) from the movies and Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) from the show are immortal Scottish swordsmen, who team up to take on another immortal that has grown far too strong for any single person to face. It is just like the other “Highlander” movies but like all the sequels it’s cheap and uninspired.

Christopher Lambert isn’t a good actor and what’s unfortunate is that his swordsman skills aren’t demonstrated properly in this or the other sequels as the fights aren’t as well filmed. Adrian Paul is from the “Highlander” tv show that I’ve never seen and he is poor too. The two aren’t exciting together and really make the film feel like they could have picked any two random guys and created the same level of chemistry. The villain (Bruce Payne “Passenger 57”) is mediocre. Great martial artist Donnie Yen (“Iron Monkey”) somehow finds himself in this dull flick.

The first one was good, the second while original was totally distant from what made the earlier movie enjoyable, the third was simply a lower-budgeted remake of the original and this fourth one is just a totally pointless continuation of the series. The first film finished everything and tidied itself up but the sequels opened up the floodgates to aimlessly having more and more of the same thing; I don’t see why people can’t understand that as there is hardly any money to be made in this franchise any more. What started out as just a single film has sadly turned into something like a slasher movie series.
