I was a huge fan of the Highlander TV series, at least in part because of the welcome leavenings of humor it gave the characters.
If the TV series, on average, got an 8 out of 10, this movie gets a 3. Not least because it totally ignores the plotlines already laid out.
Case in point: immortals do not, ever, fight or kill each other on holy ground. In the TV series, on at least one occasion, it mentions a huge disaster (the destruction of Pompey) taking place when two immortals violated this prohibition.
In this movie, however, *spoiler* a squad of immortals kills another group of immortals on holy ground. Ho hum, just another day at the slaughterhouse.
Please.
