I have not seen the TV series but to label this as a Highlander movie felt like a bit of a cheat. In fact, the first film is a piece of brilliant movie and I hate the fact that everything else labeled "highlander" ignores the might of Kurgan and the climax of the first film. But if you buy the fact that you should ignore everything in the first film that occurs in the 1980's, well then you should be fine.
One more thing though - Jacob Kell... What can I say? Kurgan would eat him for breakfast. Ramirez would have killed him with his arms and feet bound. There is simply no explanation why this priest-geek would become the most dangerous immortal of all...
I'd give this film 3 out of 10 only for its good basic ideas and the fact that it might continue the TV series... but I still hate the rape of the first film.
