**Don't watch this movie: time wasting danger.** Dear reader, I start with a challenge: think about sequels to great movies. There's no shortage of great and valorous titles, which otherwise contradict the general idea that sequels are flawed films and doomed to failure, right? But there is also the other side of the coin, and a long list of names that gave strength to this installed belief. This movie is, indeed, an excellent candidate for a spot on the disgraceful list of the worst sequels ever released! Well, “Highlander” was a film that, despite the criticisms and weaknesses (I didn't spare myself to list them in the review I wrote for it), worked well and gave the audience pure fun and entertainment. This film, however, completely ignores it, contradicts the entire story of the first film and gives us... an hour and a half of rubbish that involves things as absurd as a threat of extinction due to the disappearance of the ozone layer and the return of characters who actually died in the first film, because they came from another dimension conveniently created for that purpose! Fans of the first film rightfully booed it, condemning it to oblivion. I believe that everyone involved, from the director to the actors, prefers to ignore this humiliation that they subject themselves for a good pack of dollars. Sean Connery, for example, seems to be parodying himself, and Christopher Lambert seems contrived and unbelievable in his old age outfit. Although the list of actors includes other relatively respectable names, there isn't a single actor here that could be worth the painful effort of seeing the film... and believe me, I saw it in its entirety and felt I would have made better use of my time watching the Teletubbies.
