March 16, 2002 Steve Todd (Chester-le-Street, Durham United Kingdom) 8 out of 13 found this review helpful If only; that's the thought here; if only someone else had written the script, someone who cherished and DEVELOPED the excellent and powerful themes of the original film. I highlight the word DEVELOPED because the film watches like someone who was given a two or three sentence summary of the first film (having never watched it) and told to go off on a tangent. Dear God, what a mess. Only Sean Connery's moments in the film are watchable, especially his efforts to get new clothes to fit in to the future and his appearance during a performance of Hamlet, these are genuinely funny moments in a blob of ill-conceived dross. That said, don't even buy this DVD as a placemat: It'll probably not do that very well either. Highlander 2 good entertainment but......... April 30, 2009 Mr. S. N. Redman (West Yorks) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Great sci-fi adventure however if you have recently seen the original highlander this film introduces a completely different back ground. Having said that it stands in its own right as an escapist sci fi film about the time when one business controls the world and how the aliens are amongst us now. If you haven't seen the original try it first but at the price this is a bargain nights entertainment. The reason this fim makes no sense.... February 11, 2003 22 out of 24 found this review helpful .... unfortunately this film really isn't any good. I spent several years barracking the film until I came across a nice surprise. Whilst whittling away the hours sat in my office, I came across a Highlander website. I noticed that Director Russell Mulchacy, along with the producers, had been given permission to 're-edit' this film. The result being 'Highlander 2 The Renegade Version'. Apparently the original idea for Highlander 2 was quite different from what was actually produced. The studio's did not like the script and several scenes were cut down, changed, or removed altogether, resulting in this 'Quickening' Version. brI was fortunate enough to have been able to obtain the 'Renegade' version and no longer do I feel that this is a bad film. There is over 20 minutes of unseen footage, all reference to the planet Zeist has been removed, and what we now have is a film that does follow on nicely from the original.brWhat the producers and director wanted, was a film that did follow on from the original, but also a film that could stand alone, so people who had not seen the original could still watch the film without having to have seen Highlander 1.brAlthough this 'Quickening' version is poor, the 'Renegade' version is well worth checking out! What a pile of pants November 30, 2001 14 out of 17 found this review helpful Sequels are rarely as good as the original but this doents even follow smoothly from the first. suddenly conner is from another planet and that is why he is immortal and he must have just conveniently forgot that in the first film when he claims he was born in the village of glen finnen in scotland. The film starts poor and gets worse i would only recommend buying this film to complete the set and are a die hard highlander fan. DONT WATCH THIS FILM!!!!!!!!!!!! December 26, 2005 J. W. Norman (Cardiff) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful I have to say that watching this film is definately the worst decision I have ever made. It doesnt even follow the story of the first! It turns out that Connor mcloed is from space! if you were going to make is sequel is that the way you would go? seriously guys, dont bother with it, its crap. Showing reviews 1-5 of 11 1 2 3 Next »
