Connor Macleod est un immortel. Il traverse les Ages depuis son Ecosse de 1536, multipliant les rencontres, les expériences et les combats...Car depuis plus de 400 ans Macleod affronte dans des luttes sans merci d'autres immortels pour remporter Le Prix. Le seul moyen de le tuer est de leur trancher la tête et c'est ce qu'il s'évertue à faire depuis des siècles tout comme son ennemi juré : le Kurgan. Un guerrier sadique ayant tué la majorité des immortels. C'est dans le New York de 1986 que Macleod prépare le combat ultime qui fera de lui le dernier des immortels. Il ne peut en rester qu'un.

Deux stars d'acteurs, la musique de Queen et la belle nature écossaise donnent une aventure désuète mais toujours sympathique aujourd'hui. La principale obsolète du film est surtout le scénario trash qui repose essentiellement sur des allusions et des symboles, mais qui ne se rapproche même pas de la profondeur potentielle du sujet. Pour le spectateur mainstream de l'époque, c'est un mélange très accrocheur de frivolité.

To be honest, 2 stars are perhaps too luxurious a gift for a B-movie with a terrible screenplay and clumsy acting performances, but I will be accommodating today and will appreciate primarily the atmospheric music of my favorite Queen, led by Mercury, and a few impressive flashbacks to medieval Scotland. Nothing else holds up today, even though it is evident that this title greatly elevates the nostalgia of older users and the conformism of younger ones. Overall impression: 40%.

This film has one great thing: the beautiful Scottish landscape and the mysticism of the flashbacks. The story taking place in the present is predicable and boring, and it’s not even helped by the B-movie like performances, which in this case I found incredibly annoying. To be fair, though, I’ve never liked fantasy in any form, not only in film.

With Christopher Lambert coming to Comic-Con in 2022, I wanted to revisit his most iconic role. The last time I watched it was as a kid, and I remember finding it pretty complex back then. The plot does start off a bit confusing, but it picks up, and the 80s vibe is charmingly naive and a joy to watch. Yes, it's very much a product of its time, but if you love films from that era, you won't be disappointed. Highlander is a legend—maybe a slightly dated one, but still legendary — with the neon-lit atmosphere of 80s New York that only that decade could deliver.

A nice start to an even better fandom. Today, it’s an old hit, which I return to regularly, although I found it almost unwatchable after the year 2000. There's no point in addressing which formal aspects have aged and which haven't, or that the perfect happy ending virtually eliminated the possibility of a sequel. There are sequels and not all the ideas are bad. Queen's great soundtrack also helped a lot and of course so did the cast. "In the end, there can be only one."
