With spinoffs including live action and animated films and television series, comic books, and more, the Highlander franchise has yielded its fair share of noble moments over the years, starting with the original film in 1986. But while Highlander 5: The Source has some cool special effects work and enough video game violence to enthrall adolescent boys, longtime fans agree that this made-for-TV flick is, to put it mildly, no Oscar contender. Adrian Paul, reprising the role he played in Highlander: Endgame (2000) and the Highlander TV series, is Duncan MacLeod, the ageless Scotsman hailing from the 16th Century. The storyline isn't easy to decipher, but it has to do with the imminent cosmic alignment of the planets and other celestial bodies, which will lead to "the moment of the Source," wherein lies the secret to the origin of MacLeod and his crew's immortality. (A note about the film's tagline, "The quest for mortality begins": Seems that being immortal ain't all it's cracked up to be; not only can these guys die, but they are unable to breed, which is a big problem for Duncan and his mortal girlfriend, hence his plan to locate the Source and become, you know, a regular dude.) This is generic comic book stuff, taking place in a crumbling, Road Warrior-esque world populated by characters with names like The Elder, The Guardian, The Watchers, and The Ancient One. The script, by Stephen Kelvin Watkins and Mark Bradley, is fraught with big, portentous statements, while director Brett Leonard seems more interested in staging the next fight sequence than giving us a clue as to what's actually going on. If this is the end of the Highlander story, and many seem to think it will be, fans had every right to hope for a more dignified death knell than The Source. --Sam Graham

If you love the series. If you love the original movies. Do NOT get this movie. There is absolutely nothing right about this movie. Except for Adrian Paul and a few of the characters from the series, it might as well have been named something else other than Highlander.
This movie successfully destroys and ignores the entire mythology set up during both the movies and the series, and what few elements the movie did use of the original mythology, this film abused, pillaged and regurgitated. ... Read More

This movie reminds me so much of Highlander 2 it is not even funny. I have always said that I like Adrian Paul as the Highlander better than Christopher Lambert. Christopher Lambert's movies are a complete hit or miss (you either love them or you hate them). Adrian Paul's TV show was the pinnacle of the Highlander franchise in my opinion. Then, Adrian Paul made this, his very own version of Highlander 2. The movie is about as good as rock is able to float. It is not as good as the TV show (neither the story ... Read More

I love the Highlander Series too much, and this movie is too bad, not to say something. Where were you David Abramowitz? Adrian, what were you thinking? The campiness could never be funny in the shadow of the greatness of the series. Characters out of character--no believable storyline--no cohesiveness--no on-screen chemistry. With countless immortal stories yet to be told, you settled for this? For me, it's like a dark quickening--maybe if I counter it with enough great Highlander films in the future, ... Read More

I think this actually qualifies as the worst movie ever. It's certainly the worst I've ever seen, and I used to watch B-lot horror films (at least they don't have pretensions of being good). Seriously, the plot makes no sense, the acting is horrible, and the sets are ridiculous. It doesn't even pay to go into detail about how terrible this film is as doing so would require a comment on every singly line of dialog, every absurd costume, every nonsensical, contradictory setting (cannibals in huts with guns ...

Endgame was a tedious but logical attempt to bring all the plot threads of movies and TV series to an acceptable conclusion. It really should have been what the title claimed, the ENDGAME for the Highlander series ! This straight to discount bin effort is a blatant attempt to squeeze the last dime out of a dead franchise, it's poorly made, stupid and feeble beyond belief.
I rarely give one star reviews, usually being able to find some redeeming feature, even in the laughable works of Uve Boll. This however ... Read More
