Summary: There can't be only one DVD !!
Review: I do hope somebody will reissue this DVD as the picture and Dolby 5.1 are not worth of THX certication. Don't get me wrong, the sound is not bad but certainly is not good enough to be THX and the picture is very grainy. Such a shame but given the price of the DVD...it is still a good buy. I am sure if there is an improve version of this DVD, many people will buy it one more time but until the time comes, this DVD should be considered by fans.

I am giving it 4 stars anyway as this is one classic movie and would have given it 5 stars if the sound and picture not letting me down.

Summary: IT'S JUST A SHAME
Review: Why? Why god why? Why did they have to ruin it? I was walking through the store looking for Highlander on DVD. When I came across it, I wasn't sure at first due to its low price at 10 bucks. I just figured it wasn't that popular in that store, so I bought it. As I unwrapped it, I couldn't wait to see the clear picture and the great sound of a classic movie on DVD! I then place the DVD in the player it turn it on. NOOOOO!! There are white specs flying across the screen! There are dust particles in the film! The pixles are visible! The music is blasting! The dialogue is almost muted! AAAAGGGGHHHHHH!! turning up the volume and turning down the volume constantly and then finding no special features to the movie. I love this movie, and it's a shame to watch it be carelessly converted into a CD that is actually worse than the VHS version! Please! Re-do this DVD!! Call it back!! Re-master it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The best of the four, if you can find it
Review: For the money, I'd say buy this one. It was the first and is still the best. The sound and picture may not be perfect, I don't remember, but they aren't bad and the story is certainly beter than the sequels made later on. I'm guessing this movie had the lowest budget of the four yet the story telling was much better, more sensible and not so weird. About all that I'd have redone was the part about the handwriting expert looking at several generations of Connor MacCleod's handwriting and pronouncing "they're all the same man". That and the sword expert dating a few metal slivers just wouldn't happen. #3 is just a ripoff of this movie, barely anything to do with it, #4 has even less, #2?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Highly Exaggerated
Review: Many of the reviews of this Highlander DVD claim it is terrible quality and is unwatchable. I think that is highly exaggerated. This DVD was not made with much care, especially when it boasts a THX remastering (i guess Lucas's team slacked on this one). But it is not that bad. I found it very watchable and only noticed some fuzziness now and then. The soundtrack isn't done that well (the dialogue is too low and the music by queen is too high), but this really isn't that big a deal. Unless you're a hardcore Highlander fan i doubt you'll notice or care about any of these faults. This was probably the cheapest DVD i've ever gotten (it was like 7 bucks), and for that price it was well worth it. Sure, it's not made as well as it could have been, but it's also not as expensive as it could have been either. The quality is good enough and its faults are really not that bad, it is certainly worth the low price.

Rating: 1 stars

Review: Good movie, terrible, awful picture quality. I would not have purchased this DVD if I knew how bad it was. The VHS tape was far superior.

Review: The laser disc is exellant and I really enjoy watching this movie, but the dvd is very poor quality. I understand why it sales for a bargin rate. This is the worst quality dvd i have seen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Big Thumbs Up
Review: This is beyond any doubt an awsome movie. It has something for everyone. Si-fi, romance, action & adventure. Even my husband, who hates sword play, loves this move. Connor McCloud is an imortal who fights to keep his head while tormented by images of watching those he loves die one by one, and althewhile knowing he never will. He is a guardian of the human race keeping evil from taking hold. The only thing I would do different is keep the sex scenes out of it. They ruin an otherwise good family film that gives a good example of loyalty, friendship, trust, love, and peoples inability to accept that which they do not understand. (you'll see what I mean when Connor is driven from his home.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful movie!
Review: This is a classic flick for those that like good fight scenes and especially sword fighting.

This film takes you through the lives of several "immortals" but one Highlander in particular. They pass through the centuries occassional battling each other in their quest to be the last immortal alive. The fight scenes are excellent and the bad guy is simply delightful!

I found the DVD to be a bit lacking but for the price you can't beat it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A classic movie ruined on DVD!
Review: I first saw this movie years ago when I rented it on video. I really enjoyed the movie. Highlander is really a cult classic. I just got a DVD player for my birthday and bought this 10th Anniversary Edition on DVD. Man, what a let down! The picture quality is terrible! The movie looks grainy and has little white specks flickering throughout the movie. Plus the sound quality is lousy. I have never seen such poor quality in a DVD! Don't waste your time buying the DVD. If they do another edition on DVD, they need to go back and do a better job! Go and buy the regular Director's Cut on VHS. It's a waste of money buying it on DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
