	Media	Author	Review
		Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"There is so much exposition that some may find it as confusing as the Samuel Beckett play of the same name (...) When 'Highlander' sticks to the hand-to-hand battles and doesn't try to offer deeper thoughts on the life of an immortal, it works on its own terms"
		Alan Jones Radio Times	"A mass of chaotic action searching for a plot among the remnants of badly directed pop promos (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Edward Guthmann SFGATE	"'Highlander' hits a low"
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"[It] looks sensational, moves like lightning. But its script (by Joel Soisson) makes no pretense about being logical or even comprehensible, which undermines Douglas Aarniokoski’s vigorous, commanding direction"
		Derek Elley Variety	"A farrago on almost every creative level that looks like it was stitched together from three different movies whose cans got mixed up in the editing suite."
		Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"[Many may] wonder what’s so great about perpetual life if it entails shlepping from one badly lit, cheesily art-directed, peat bog-colored century to another, spouting hollow [dialogues]"
		Keith Phipps AV Club	"As spectacle, it's handsomely mounted and far less grating than the first two Russell Mulcahy-directed entries, but it's far from extraordinary in every other respect"
