Synopsis:

 

After centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, an immortal Scottish swordsman faces his final opponent: a bloodthirsty barbarian who has chased him across time to 1985 New York City, where they fight for the Prize: the spiritual ability to know everything.

 

Brian's Rating: B+ : 1986, this was an A.  In 1992 this was an A-, now its a B+.  Why?  Because through no fault of its own, the special effects and some set design are sub-par to today's standards.  Normally that does not make any difference, but when the the film has a focus on said effects, then it begins to detract from the entertainment when you know it could be done better now.  For example, a Highlander sword fight will never look remarkably cool again after seeing Kill Bill.  So, throwing that shortcoming aside, it has an awesome story line, good acting, and a cool bad guy.  It is easily the best of the mass of Highlander crap that came out in subsequent years.

 

Sebastian's Rating: A- : Meh it's true times are changing freak, and theses days it's not as entertaining, but it's still a classic, and it deserves an A minus
