Leave your thoughts about Highlander II: The Quickening.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfHighlander 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt makes clearer much that was so vague in the original; it even jokes about how confusing its premise is. In short, audiences who made the first film successful enough to warrant a second will be getting a bit more for their money. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...[not] as bad as it's been made out to be over the years. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIn short, lots of action and wild stunts, lame comedy and a story that makes no sense whatsoever. |
| VarietyVariety StaffAudiences 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. |
| Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertLeaden, laden with effects, short on imagination. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferFeels more like a brainstorm exercise than a feature length film. |
| Austin ChronicleLouis BlackThe acting is terrible,with Connery, at his lowest common denominator, stealing the show. For those of you who worry that MTV video art will destroy cinema, the ineptitudes of this film vividly detail the radical difference in forms. It sucks. But it would have made a great comic book. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyWith its fancifully moldering sets and technical effects, Highlander 2 is little more than a barbarous arena, a Conanistic return to paganism for those among us who still laugh at violence. |
| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferThe problem is – the film plays more like a brainstorm exercise than a feature length film. There are gobs of great ideas here, but none of them connect in the way fans likely wanted. |
