Am i the only one who actually enjoyed this film as it stood originally!

Ok

I'm going to be in the minority here but here me out!

Yes the acting is bad, the script terrible, the plot woeful and silly filled with holes and bad editing and lets not talk about the alien bit.

But..

As a stand alone film in the highlander universe its not really so bad. Its only when you start to compare the film to the original and try and link it in as a direct sequel does the film fail to stand up. The film its self rarely makes reference to its prequel and that is a good thing.

Personally i quite enjoyed it as a rainy sunday afternoon film and lets be honest, a lot worse has been made since! I enjoyed he shield story line and thought that it was not a bad plot device at all. If it had been handled better it could have been amazing, but i think from looking at it they were dodged by financial troubles and interference form outside parties.

Ask yourself this?

Given the same circumstances, could you have made a better film?
As a stand alone film, was it so bad?
You must have seen worse? (catwoman anyone)?
It did make a ton of cash and was not really considered a flop at the time?

Ok i admit its going to be hard to convince anyone and thats cool, but surely there must be fans out there somewhere?
