Critical Reception
- A truly heroic stomp through time and space... Stylistically Highlander may have dated as badly as Christopher Lambert's mullet, but so what? For an honest-to-God, boys-own thrash you can't beat it.—BBCBBC: Highlander (November 26, 2000)
- Since none of the characters makes sense even on the movie's own terms, Highlander keeps on exploding for almost two hours, with nothing at stake.—The New York TimesNew York Times: Highlander (March 8, 1986)
- The dichotomies in the film keep it fresh: ancient weapons versus metropolitan streets, past versus present, Scottish Highlands versus New York, youthful innocence versus aged cynicism.—Foster on FilmFoster on Film: Highlander
- While some combat films age well, Highlander clearly isn't one of them.—Mr. CrankyMr. Cranky: Highlander
- Although it is filled with testosterone pleasing action and fight sequences, the movie also sneaks in a romantic story underneath all of the swordplay, so this is one you can watch with your significant other with a reasonable expectation of getting some afterward as well. This rare combination is something we always smile upon!—Movies for GuysMovies for Guys: Highlander
