Lets be real the first movie was good, the second movie was weird but ok the rest were utterly forgettable. I watched it not long ago and while I enjoyed it, it sure as shit wasnt a good movie by my now adult standards.

There arent many times Reboots make something better than the original but this one gives me hope. Henry doesnt seem to be the kind of guy to sign on to shit and the original had some great ideas but just went all 80's coke party with them.

I'm quietly hopeful.

the second movie was weird but ok

I'm sorry. I mostly agree with your outlook and concerns, but I have never heard anyone heap such HIGH praise onto the second movie.

I also did really like the series, so maybe just a difference of opinion. I do think Cavill would be able to do Highlander some justice for the reboot.

Yeah. Like, how do you mention the movies and not the series. Gotta watch Highlander and Kung Fu. McGuyver can come too.

I love 1, hate 2, like 3.

I know 3 isn't good, but it's kind of just another version of the first. Storywise it's really similar, and idk, just has some sort of 90s charm to it.

IMO 2 is so nuts it gets points for originality, 3 just felt redundant and derivative.

I just cant bring myself to reward mediocrity.
