This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

...then you can enjoy this movie. yes, there's the killing on holy ground and the flashback were Methos and Kronos are suddenly buddy-buddy despite being explicitly stated during the legendary horsemen episodes that they haven't met for 2000 years and Kronos was still holding a grudge, and oh yeah, what upset me the most, that stupid head count. i mean, come on, what happened to hard training, a good sword and an ounce of luck to win a fight? if the headcount alone would decide, no new immortal would ever stand a chance...and they could have simply send Methos. yes he's been avoiding in fights in recent centuries, but given his not so peaceful past i'd say that his headcount got to be above all others.....but as i said, if you're ignoring all this and can stomach that Connor is just a wreck who basically commits suicide then enjoy!oh yeah, one more thing: about Duncan never marrying....that gypsy did not predict him to never marry but cursed him (he had deflowered her but refused to marry her afterward which enraged her quite a bit, big surprise)her curse wasn't exactly that he would never walk down the isle but would never be able to enjoy a peaceful married life. which is why he refused to marry Tessa for so long, convinced that it would jinx them - and just when he started to think seriously about proposing she gets killed. well, and his marriage to Kate was certainly everything but happy.

When I first saw this over 10 years ago I thought the producers had finally got the series back on track after the outrageous 2nd movie and retread 2rd movie. It had a good plot, fairly good acting, a wild villain which was not just a copy of The Kurgan and it had both "Movie Highlander" Christopher Lambert and "TV Highlander" Adrian Paul together.When I look back at it now I see that it was just a spin off of the TV series (which I was never into at the time) and Lambert was in to "pass the torch" to Paul.The movie's tone is about redemption and I feel is a worthy send off for Connor while making Duncan the main protagonist for movies to come which unfortunately we only got 1 which was pretty dreadful.If you really want to get into Highlander I suggest the best is the first film then ignore the end part and watch this.7 out of 10 for me.

Christopher Lambert made the first HIGHLANDER in '86. Highlander: ENDGAME was mad 25 years later.Time has not been kind to Mr. Lambert. His face has aged - not good if you're supposed to be 'immortal' - so, many of Me. Lambert's scenes are... 'misty.'I'm not begrudging either the film, Nor Mr. Lambert - however it's disconcerting to see someone who played the same role as a strong, vital, youthful actor, and then, to see him, and try to ignore what is plain to see.I DO like the HIGHLANDER franchise, and, I think that, with this one - the last (as far as THIS series is considered), is a fine farewell to it.

I am definitely biased when it comes to my review of this film. I am a fan of the first movie, fan of the TV series (minus a few poorly done episodes), and will watch anything that has the character "Methos" in it. This movie will be hard to follow if you haven't watched previous Highlander movies and/or the TV series. Recently my girlfriend purchased all of the seasons of Highlander and we just now finished watching them. We also just watched the first movie again. So I have a unique perspective. I have the original movie and the series still fresh in my memory. I think that Highlander fans love the concept more than the plot of the Highlander franchise. The idea of living forever while having a vintage style of dress and manners is of great appeal to us. But I also notice that many critics of this film didn't see the second and third movie. Those movies didn't do a good job following the first movie either. But this film mainly follows the TV series, not the first movie. I am one of those people who really liked Highlander: Endgame. The movie does a great job mixing the characters from the first movie and the TV series. When I started watching the movie I was thrilled to see Peter Wingfield and Jim Byrnes in the credits. These were two great actors from the TV series. Sadly Methos had a small part in this film. He is one of the greatest, yet wasted characters of television history. Still, I'm glad he was featured in this film. Sadly, this film still can't shake some of the corny effects and additions that Panzer and Davis add to each movie. Just like the first movie, the main villain is often overacting. The final quickening is lame. Someone needs to tell Panzer and Davis that the 80's are over with. Still, this film let us see what the TV series would have been like with a bigger budget. I have also been told that the Director's Cut does a better job of developing the characters. But this movie isn't for people who aren't Highlander fans. It's also not for people who hated the TV series. It's for die-hard fans.
