Highlander 2: The Quickening is the dullest and shoddiest action-adventure flick of the year, with only a few cute Sean Connery moments to rescue it from total, sheer and utter bogosity.

They missed the mark horribly, but nobody can fault the makers of Highlander 2 for not trying to expand the scope of the original story and take it in totally different directions.

Feels more like a brainstorm exercise than a feature length film.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 6, 2010

Highlander 2 is a mess. Nevertheless, damn it, it's a gorgeous mess...incoherent, but a joy to stare at for 105 minutes, watching as a franchise is epically flushed down the toilet.

| Original Score: C- | Nov 3, 2010

The film is desperately overplotted; events and years rush by and pile up like cars in an interstate wreck. It's also terribly overexplained.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 25, 2009

Audiences unfamiliar with the first film will be hard put to follow the action [from a story by Brian Clemens] as it incoherently hops about in time and space.

Leaden, laden with effects, short on imagination.

Another substandard sequel.

...[not] as bad as it's been made out to be over the years.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 2, 2004

Incomprehensible doesn't even begin to explain it. This movie is the equivalent of the "Hey look over there!" gag. You look, and the guy you wanted to beat up has run away.

The director's cut elevates this misconceived sequel from one of the worst stinkers ever to merely dreadful.

Beyond redemption.

It would be best if we all just agree amongst ourselves that this movie never happened.

The acting is terrible,with Connery, at his lowest common denominator, stealing the show.
