Highlander Reviews
New York Times
Walter Goodman
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.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Before it came to a thudding halt with a craven, creatively bankrupt franchise cash-grab, the rich world of "Highlander" - in all its bombast and bereavement - was, and is, worth getting lost in for two hours.
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
A bit clumsy in spots, but Highlander is a thoroughly entertaining action-fantasy picture.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
OK fantasy adventure film that has achieved cult status to many.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Highlander's plot is one of the most original ever filmed.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
It's all here, folks: fancy wipes, expressionistic angles, quick-cut close-ups, stylized backlighting, camera moving in endless illogic.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Lambert, with his beetle brow, broken nose, and vaguely crossed eyes, remains an amiable oddball presence, and Sean Connery radiates charm and nobility in a bit as an elder immortal who shows Lambert the rules of the game.

Great concept + sharp-edged weapons + Connery = enduring fantasy classic.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

"There can only be one!" And that's one too many.

Brian Mckay
Another example of a decent first film that led to a mediocre series. Great performances from Connery and Brown.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
A terrific idea, taken about as far as it can go. Why, oh why, did they start making sequels?
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Jeffrey Westhoff
For me, the worst movie of the 1980s.
TV Guide
Connery, on the other hand, is a welcome sight. It is director Russell Mulcahy's style that doesn't work here.
