Highlander: The Search For Vengeance (Anime DVD Review)

What I knew Going In:
Highlander fiction in Japanese Animation.

Hype:
Never even knew it existed until a few days ago. I was bored and I needed to kill some time while doing something for a client so I fgured why not - I've wasted hours of my life watching worse things *cough* ENGLISH PATIENT! *cough*

Opening Thoughts:
Music's not bad. Graphics are solid and savage. Colin Macleod? I mean wasn't Connor and Duncan enough? I swear that is one Clan you DO NOT want to f*** with.

Bottom Line:
Its better than every movie except the first one. Its not top notch but if you're bored like I was you could do worse. A "reimaging" of the original is slated for release in 2010. I haven't heard anything about it other than noticing that it was in pre-production on IMDB. Given that the last what 4 sequels and the TV series have been about as good as a bikini wax from a belt sander, I can only hope the 2010 film doesn't continue the legacy of suck. Put some money into it, get a decent cast and script, get Metallica to cover the original Queen tracks, and the nerds will be shouting from the rooftops. In the meantime, watch the anime flick, and realize that for this franchise, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE (good one).
