This film feels like a torturously overlong TV episode, and it takes itself so seriously that it has none of the camp value of the original film or the show's sword 'n' sorcery competition.

Reviews for Highlander: Endgame
It's fast, short, restlessly plotted and, at times, pure bananas.
04/17/01
It's just not very good.
02/14/01
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.'
01/01/00
The action sequences are decent, but the effects end up so god-awful towards the end ... that all you can do is cringe.
01/01/00
The fourth sequel to a film designed to stand alone... In the end, there should have been only one.
01/01/00
You know a sequel serves no other purpose than to make money when it has no respect for the rules and history it has set up for itself.
01/01/00
Thinking (logically or otherwise) about this movie is a waste of your brain cells.

Top CriticPerhaps Highlander: Endgame may emerge as a cult movie -- one of those movies that is so bad, it's good. But for it to register in that way, you probably have to see it more than once. Which is a risk.
01/01/00
Highlander: Endgame is truer to the original than the sequels, but it plays more like a television program than a theatrical release, which will matter little to the die-hard fans.
06/05/02
The special effects are cheap and not at all impressive. For a series that relies heavily on sword fighting, it too is surprisingly second-rate.
02/27/01
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.
01/01/00
The leading contender for worst film of the year.
12/08/02
Overall, there's just not enough story here.
01/01/00
Top CriticIts story is so incompetently constructed that the long lulls between nonsensical action scenes make you wonder if it was written by a prepubescent fan.
01/01/00
Top CriticA dreadful, time-traveling, almost incomprehensible [film].
01/01/00
Even the sound effects get tiring: How many times can you hear swords being clanged, yanked from the Earth or sinking squishily into quivering flesh without getting bored?
01/01/00
Top CriticA complete and utter mess. Disjointed, incoherent, boring, corny, filled with bad dialogue ... and that's just the first thirty minutes!
01/01/00
They crammed a lot of bad, bad stuff into such a short flick.
