Highlander: The Source (More like the Scourge)

[Einan]

Okay, so I just had the unpleasant experience of watching this enormous pile of hogspit on DVD.

There's an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. At times I had to pause the DVD to vomit. It was a pleasant interlude. The acting was sub-par, even for the TV series, which I loved. The plot was TERRIBLE. The villain was a hokey overacted, badly choreographed mistake. The characters, other than Joe, Methos and McLeod were one dimensional caricatures. The ending was worthless and they shattered McLeod's iconic sword. Nice way to ruin my pleasant memories of the series, guys.

Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY! It's Manos, Hands of Fate bad, without the MST3K commentary.

It's NOT Manos bad, but it's pretty awful. Still, I was pretty much compelled to Netflix it.

If you're on the fence, please don't bother seeing it. If you must watch it because you're a Highlander nut, please ensure that you have liquor and friends present when you do, so that you can make the process entertaining.

I watched it and wished I hadn't afterwards. Clearly the worse of the series, even worse than Highlander 4 (if that is even possible). SO much potential wasted away with this movie. Sad...

I started watching it with the firm conviction that it couldn't possibly be worse than Highlander: Endgame. This conviction was proven very, very wrong.

It's like all parties involved (producers, writers, actors) all came together and actively tried to make the worst movie in the series - and considering Endgame (the previous outing) that's a heck of an accomplishment.

Yeah, it was awful. But the WORST? Are you kidding me?

Remember the one between the first and the third? Does "the Sickening" ring a bell?

Nah? Probably for the best.

While the 2nd was bad it was not even close to the level of awfulness reached by The Source.

Besides the "renegade" cut of the 2nd movie was not half bad.

 

[Crothian]

There can be only one. It's amazing that the tagline from the movie would apply so well.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Oh dear.

I know I'll end up watching this. . . thing. Why, I don't know. Well, I know, but I can't justify it.

I am sick. Help!

Save yourself and stay, forget this movie ever existed.

That's what I have done and I have been able to move on with my life

I don't know about that. Torgo and the Master were much more entertaining than the Guardian. Better villains, too.
