Movie Reviews of Highlander: The Source
Movie Review: Not even a B film
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie was VERY, VERY, VERY bad. Not even worth one star but I had no choice. The acting, the sets, the story, the action and the flow of the movie is just awful. Seriously....anyone who says that this is a decent film does not know movies at all. This is an abomination of the whole franchise. I've watched better episodes from the TV series than this crap. The sets were so corny and fake looking. The budget must of been 3 million because that's what it looked like. This movie was cheaply done and it shows in every aspect. They should be ashamed of themselves for sending this rubbish to fans. I don't get it...it's 2008. The old story is so outdated. Here is a idea, REBOOT the character/franchise. Start over and do an epic movie with good writers and a good budget. Please, please do the first one over and start from there. WITH CONNER MACLEOD.
Summary of Highlander: The Source
Immortals they have secretly dwelt among us for thousands of years but their origins have been shrouded in mystery. The answers prophets say are to be found in The Source. The last band of eternal warriors lead by Duncan MacLeod the Highlander have set out on a treacherous quest to find the origin of their immortality. But to learn the truth they must first defeat The Guardian of the Source a powerful killer who will destroy all who seek its secrets.System Requirements:Running Time: 86 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY/FANTASY Rating: R UPC: 031398217893 Manufacturer No: 21789With spinoffs including live action and animated films and television series, comic books, and more, the Highlander franchise has yielded its fair share of noble moments over the years, starting with the original film in 1986. But while Highlander 5: The Source has some cool special effects work and enough video game violence to enthrall adolescent boys, longtime fans agree that this made-for-TV flick is, to put it mildly, no Oscar contender. Adrian Paul, reprising the role he played in Highlander: Endgame (2000) and the Highlander TV series, is Duncan MacLeod, the ageless Scotsman hailing from the 16th Century. The storyline isn't easy to decipher, but it has to do with the imminent cosmic alignment of the planets and other celestial bodies, which will lead to "the moment of the Source," wherein lies the secret to the origin of MacLeod and his crew's immortality. (A note about the film's tagline, "The quest for mortality begins": Seems that being immortal ain't all it's cracked up to be; not only can these guys die, but they are unable to breed, which is a big problem for Duncan and his mortal girlfriend, hence his plan to locate the Source and become, you know, a regular dude.) This is generic comic book stuff, taking place in a crumbling, Road Warrior-esque world populated by characters with names like The Elder, The Guardian, The Watchers, and The Ancient One. The script, by Stephen Kelvin Watkins and Mark Bradley, is fraught with big, portentous statements, while director Brett Leonard seems more interested in staging the next fight sequence than giving us a clue as to what's actually going on. If this is the end of the Highlander story, and many seem to think it will be, fans had every right to hope for a more dignified death knell than The Source. --Sam Graham
