Why can't we ever get a
Highlander movie with A) some sort of coherent plot, or B) just a little bit of continuity? Like,
any at all?
I admit I only made it up to the Jabba the Hutt-type character about 40 minutes in and gave up. You know a movie is going to suck when you get exposition in voiceover. That's a major red flag. That movie was smelling up the joint. Gah. Also? Fringes on a leather motorcycle jacket, on someone as cool as Methos, is BAD, mmmkay? And what was up with all the
Mad Max psuedo post-apocalyptic bullshit?
Highlander the Series was effin' brilliant.
Why can't they just write a nice script and give Adrian something to do and not have everything revolve around the damn love interest? I mean, c'mon, he's Immortal. There's more to, well,
everything in life. Like freaking sword fights, for instance. Or wicked pyrotechnic displays with cool explosions and shit blowing up.
That's what I want to see. Not whiny chicks who were married to Duncan McLeod who we've NEVER EVEN SEEN BEFORE.
Mom called me tonight to remind me that it was on. I warned her I had heard it was sucky. I doubt she got much farther than 10 minutes into it. But she has a thing for Adrian Paul, and I blame myself. I keep spreading the fangirlishness to mom.
Oh well. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. The
Highlander movies (except for the very first one) were never any good. Adrian did look good scruffy, however. Loved the coat too.
