Reviews for Highlander
A truly heroic stomp through time and space.
01/01/00
Lambert, with his beetle brow, broken nose, and vaguely crossed eyes, remains an amiable oddball presence, and Sean Connery radiates charm and nobility in a bit as an elder immortal who shows Lambert the rules of the game.

Top CriticMaybe it was the sheer audacity of the film's silliness that made it so popular or the brief, swaggering presence of Connery.
04/08/01
Another example of a decent first film that led to a mediocre series. Great performances from Connery and Brown.

Joins Pete's Dragon, Condorman, and Unidentified Flying Oddball in the category of films better remembered than re-watched.
04/06/02
No equal among sword-and-sorcery flicks.
04/13/02
This is a bad, bad movie that I really, really like. And I'm not embarrassed to say so.
01/01/00
A terrific idea, taken about as far as it can go. Why, oh why, did they start making sequels?

OK fantasy adventure film that has achieved cult status to many.

It is a silly film, but it is fun to watch.

"There can only be one!" And that's one too many.
04/24/03
Great concept + sharp-edged weapons + Connery = enduring fantasy classic.
