Most people just like to bash it because it favors Duncan over Conner. I still think it was a great movie. Looking forward to The Source, and I believe it's going to have more of Methos' history in it.

I realize that these will most likely go to the big screen, but I hope their production values end up being more than that of a DTV feature.
I'm all for another Highlander movie.
A trilogy, I'm not so sure.
We'll soon find out, I just hope we don't have another Highlander 2 fiasco.

Nope, in fact I bought it on DVD. I still watch it from time to time.

Highlander is the only film in history where the sequels are even worse than those in the Matrix series, without exception.
The original was gold, pure gold, and every sequel has tarnished it beyond repair.
Endgame was utter crap; who the hell ever told Wrestlers they could act? Mario Van Peebles is about the only thing worht watching in H3 and if Connery couldnt save the series, what hope did he have? And H2 is just unspeakable filth of a movie.
Id rather they just remade the TV series (without 'Richie' this time) that was way better.

Considering that the new movies are based on the tv series and the main character is Duncan and not Conner (Richie is dead) you should be a happy camper.
Don't agree with you on Endgame, however, I actually found it just to opposite. However, I'm also looking at it as a continuation of the series and not the original movie (though elements are incorporated), I can view it from that perpective and be quite happy.
I'll agree that both versions of Highlander 2 were total and utter crap. There was absolutely no way to save that movie, and Highlander 3 was...ughhhh, plot holes galore, but came a long way to trying to repair what happened with the previous film.

Highlander II: The Quickening...now that film...no hope, no hope at all. (minus five points to me for using a TF:TM ('86) reference.)
Let me ask you this, if they stuck you in a room and you had to watch Highlander II, but they gave you a choice between the three versions (The Quickening, The Renegade Version, Digitally Remastered Director's Cut*) which one would you choose?
*=(and about the new digitally remastered Director's Cut, it looks nothing short of fantastic. If nothing else, the visuals alone are insane.)

I know, this is one of those things you're never supposed to admit to in public but....
I actually liked Highlander 2: The Quickening. 'course, I was like 15 or 16 when it was released, so I blame the folly of youth for my mental imbalance there.
Now, The Renegade version is a different beast altogether. I don't mind saying I liked that flick. It's wonky when put in with the rest of the movies, but then each movie after the first totally seemed to try to reinvent the whole blasted backstory. Poor Connor. Guy's got the Prize and all that, yet for some reason there's always ANOTHER random, lost Immortal coming out of some damned cave somewhere and fudging with him. In retrospect, the Highlander series probably should never have seen a sequel, but so long as we've got 'em, I suppose we should make the best of 'em, eh?
Oh... and Masters of the Universe rocks. I don't care if it's nothing like the cartoon, it still rocks. Skeletor gets the prize for being perhaps the coolest licensed bad guy ever brought to the screen, simply because he was so much better than his cartoon counterpart. He's got some of the best lines ever.
"Tell me about the loneliness of good. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"
"I am not in a giving vein this day."
That whole sequence before the Eye of the Galaxy where he gives his big monologue is just plain awesome. Frank Langella is my hero.
