A classic movie December 31, 2007 LXIX (scotland) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Highlander is a classic tale of an ordinary Highland warrior with superhuman powers who gets caught up in a supernatural battle spanning centuries.
br /
br /The Kurgan is a great villain and Sean Connery also puts in a fine performance (ironically not as a Scotsman, but as a swashbuckling Spaniard).
br /
br /Set in rural Scotland and modern day New York, Highlander is just great science fiction. Sadly, the follow ups didn't quite match the high standards of this original.
br /
br /The film also has great musical moments from Queen.
Highlander I'm Conner Mac Cloud of the Clan Mac Cloud February 3, 2007 Steveclark (soham) 9 out of 12 found this review helpful
HIGHLANDER
br /
br /
br /Highlander a unique film . A Highland warrior Connor Mac Cloud of the Clan Mac Cloud who cannot die. Highly evocative the Scottish scenes. Of camaraderie before going into battle, and the ironic cold banishment of Connor by his same kinsmen; after being mortally wounded in battle. Who cannot believe Connor surviving the wound. A Clansman saves him from a brutal beating, "Can you walk Connor". - "Aye I can bloody well walk out of here!-I will not forget thee", Connor utters to Angus, as he saves him from being burned. Then into modern day conflict battles, but now one on one till the end can only be one.
br /Inside this film is a gem! I wonder if the writer or the director at the time new; they would be creating a scene so powerful - and moving. That even Stanley Kubic and Shakespeare could not have bettered . A scene so moving that will probably never be surpassed. Of Conner's and Heather's love and farewell in death to heather his blossom. Conner's call to heather - their life and love together, then near her death. Words that are spoken poignant and deeply moving. The scene starts to the unique vocal range of Freddie Mercury and the queen track "who wants to live forever". Penned by Brian May after seeing a rough cut of the film. If you not moved by this then your heart is of granite.

br /What a film - makes me want to buy a great Claymore Sword and swing it about.

br /Moving fantastic Stuff

Top sci-fi August 8, 2008 Mr W (Manchester, England) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the type of movie you can't help but enjoy. It's daft but a great spectacle, plus it has Sean Connery, good one liners and the action rocks. What more can you want?
