I love Highlander, the original one is timeless and I'd love to see more in that universe. The TV series had a good stab at it (pardon the pun!), it had good and bad episodes. It had some good drama. It was at least on the right road.Then there is this movie. Just what the hell is this movie supposed to be? It looks cheap. It looks cheaper than a lot of fan movies. The idea of finding the source, the very first immortal, what a great idea, we could have had flashbacks, we could have new immortals, a good adversary, basically the first movie all over again.What did we get? Well, I'm still trying to work that out but whatever it is, it's bloody awful. It's even worse than Highlander 2 (yup, it's that bad). This movie has METHOS in it, how can a movie with Methos be bad? Well, i think he just showed up for his paycheque. Can't say I blame him. The script is bad, the movie is bad, the action is laughable, the quality is desirable, the guardian is not an enemy but some pillock in bad makeup.Can we just pretend that this doesn't exist?

My brother managed to watch all of the Highlander movies and ranted and raved about this (not in a good way) and the more I heard about it the more I wanted to see it.The plot is extremely confusing but I'll just say it anyway. In a post-apocalyptic world a random immortal tells the Watchers that he has found the co-ordinates to The Source of immortal's power (Wasn't that The Quickening?) and gets killed the guardian. Duncan, his new wife, Methos, The watchers and an immortal priest with a blonde Mohawk (I kid you not) travels to find this source.Okay, now I've explained the plot in it's simplest terms I am going to tell you the problems I have with this movie.First of all The Guardian moves faster than the speed of light and yet a car is able to hit him and knock him down. You have many flaws like that but now I'm just going to talk about things on a technical level.Nothing in this movie looks real. The backgrounds of almost every single shot makes MirrorMask's background look authentic. Not to mention the fact that Highlander at it's root is an action film yet you realize that the director has absolutely no clue for how to direct action. Instead of being on the edge of your seat thinking "okay the good guy is about to take down this bad guy" as good action films do you're left with "What the hell is going on?" because you really have no idea.The one real beef I have though is that Highlander Endgame is actually a Highlander sequel that did things right. They could take the series in whatever direction they wanted. Why the hell would you take it in this direction? So if you want to watch it then that is fine but don't say I didn't warn you. There really is almost nothing good to say about it. I am only going to watch The original, Endgame and The Search For Vengeance and if you want to watch the only good Highlander films then even if you don't like them they'll be better than this.

I've sat through all of the HIGHLANDER films now, and to be honest, after the first three, they just aren't worth watching. I was never a fan of the TV show and these latter productions just feel like extended episodes, complete with cheesy TV-movie atmosphere.HIGHLANDER: THE SOURCE is particularly bad, full of cringe-worthy romantic interludes, awful effects and some bad guys who'll make you chuckle at the ridiculousness of it all. The direction is terrible and the CGI effects worse; it feels like someone saw SILENT HILL and attempted to recreate the bad guy from it, to appalling effect.As the hero, Adrian Paul is as wooden as they come and the folk who make up his 'crew' are a bunch of irritants. They're not the worst culprit, though; I've seen three of director Brett Leonard's films (this, HIDEAWAY and VIRTUOSITY) and they've all been poor, although HIGHLANDER: THE SOURCE is by far the worst.
