They might not be that bad... I mean, I'll admit, Endgame was a dog... a mangy, rotting, zombie dog with rabies that needed to be put down before it could menace anyone else with its evil... but maybe The Journey Continues might actually try and distance itself from that sort of thing.

I think the worst part of Endgame was Christopher Lambert trying to be an unaging Immortal... when he obviously no longer looked the part. That and Kell... I thought the Kurgen chewed scenery... but that guy... they probably broke the budget on the mayo needed so he could choke down all those setpieces...
 




I'm actually intrigued. I've always prefered Adrian Paul to Christopher Lambert as an actor, and Duncan to Connor as a character. And frankly, the first Highlander movie--while cool enough, don't get me wrong--is way overrated, IMO.

Assuming they ditch the baggage and treat this new trilogy as a series unto itself, with thematic links but no direct connections to the events of the previous movies, I think it could work out pretty well.
