FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

wright240597 Sequels to the 1986 original Highlander weren't exactly groundbreaking achievements, but this, the 6th movie in the series trumps them all and may even give us the best entry in the entire franchise.Highlander: Search for Vengeance goes down the same path, switching between the past and the main plot with the immortal Colin MacLeod remembering back over the past 2000 years when he fought and died many times, the first example being in 2nd century Scotland when his wife is murdered by a Roman general, Marcus Octavius, who is also immortal.Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll) sets us through many different battles in history expertly, putting lots of attention to detail for the settings (especially in the post apocalyptic New York City of the year 2187).The English dub voiceovers are great, especially Alastair Abell, who does a much better job than Christopher Lambert with a Scottish accent in the flashback sequences that span the first 1000 years of Colin and Marcus' existence as immortals, and voice acting veteran Scott McNeil taking 3 roles including Colin's ghostly accomplice and mentor Amergan is on top form.A well written story, with well developed main characters and impressive battle scenes that don't skimp on the violence and bloodshed, Highlander: Search for Vengeance is a must for fans of the original and anime fans alike.

bringer348 I think you will enjoy this film. I only ever enjoyed the first Highlander film. So much so that I would consider myself to be a huge fan of it (I'd owned the laser disc way back and have owned several different versions of the DVD) The TV series didn't really do much for me and I thought the sequels were all terrible.I'm not usually a fan of anime but I think this is probably the best anime I've seen since watching Akira long ago (and I would probably say that I enjoyed this movie more than Akira. I'm also a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki but I would never compare Akira or Highlander to his films since he's on a different level all together.) I wouldn't really compare Highlander to other anime films though since the story is much different and probably much easier for western audiences to grasp. Not going off on strange esoteric philosophical tangents etc. Less convoluted rather and a bit more focused than most anime I've seen anyways.I have to admit I don't really like fantasy oriented anime much at all (aside from Hayao Miyazaki). I mainly don't like fantasy anime because it's a series of "what ifs" as though anything were possible and I find that rather boring. I guess I'm somewhat into realism. Fantasy anime is what 99% of the anime that is so popular these day is really (that I've noticed anyways) but I enjoyed this film much more that I'd expected too since it retains the highlander story in historical past as well as a post apocalyptic setting (love post apocalyptic movies). It has much more depth to it than you could imagine really.There's a few bits towards the end that kind of turned me off from it (some references to religion and stuff and Colin finding love and a home in the setting from the original movie even though he's lived close to 1400 years already... Seemed a bit forced to me because I would think as that much time has passed, all the battles he's waged through etc he wouldn't really feel that intimate with becoming a MacLeod all of a sudden) but these are minor things that I don't think the vast majority of people would even bother to notice. I think fans of the first movie will really enjoy this and I think of it as being better than the TV series or and of the sequels that followed the original movie.

Timothy McKann When I first learned that this film was going to be released on DVD. I have to say that out of all the action anime I have seen.This one tops all of them. But after seeing the online trailer. I had to get this film,and that is exactly what I did. When I bought the film on DVD,it was loaded. I never seen anything like it. My favorite character is this film is Colin. I also want to say that he has lived for 2,000 years,and he has never aged. He is pretty cool in different settings,and wars. But however,this one is the most violent film,I have ever seen. So, if you are a huge Highlander fan,then you have to see this film.And be careful when watching it. It can mess with your head.

chrichtonsworld This version is an alternative of the original Highlander movie! The rules (concerning immortals) are the same and the story involves a character originated from the Highlands (Scotland)! His name is Colin Mcleod from the clan Mcleod! Other than this there is no relation to the film series or the TV show! But I have to say I enjoyed this a whole lot better than any sequel made after the original Highlander! The animation is beautiful and there is plenty of action! Even the story (simple but effective) is enjoyable! As a first animated movie this is a great one! This anime revives the "Highlander" myth in such a way that movie producers of any sequel from the Higlander film series should wonder what they are doing wrong! I don't know if there are plans to make a sequel! But if there aren't any there should be!
