This is truly a masterpiece, this gem of a film should be shown in every film school in the world, it is a modern day classic! From the astonishing cinematography to the spot on acting, from the amazing editing to the incredible pacing, from the surprising story to the inventive dialogue...this movie does NOTHING RIGHT!!!!!! I give it ten stars out of ten simply because this kind of horribly rotten movie can't be made by accident. This must have been done purposely, it's the filmmakers telling us that if they can't make a good movie, they'll make the worst movie they possibly can! And they succeeded! They succeeded wonderfully! This is a marvelous disaster! The cinematography is amazingly bad, every single shot is wrong, every one, you can't do that on accident, it's mathematically impossible! The acting is spot on, that is if they were making Harold and Kumar go to White Castle; it frequently appears that every single scene had something different than what we saw precede it. It doesn't make any sense, it's genius. The editing is amazing, it makes the viewer so nauseous that it is literally painful to watch. The pacing is incredible, it makes no sense, and builds not a scintilla of tension. The dialogue is so very inventive, just when you think each character might say something that makes sense, they either go into a dry, boring monologue or make a bad cliché'd remark. Usually they do one when they ought to do the other and they always make sure they do it at the wrong time. It's fabulous. But the best part of this Oscar caliber (especially these days) bad movie, is the STORY! OH MY GOD!!!!! Not only did they take a flimsy, half-hearted, ridiculous premise--Immortals looking for the source (of what I don't freakin' know)--but they used it to tell a completely retarded, non-sensical, meaningless, confusing, and very, very, stupid story. Brilliant, of all movies (yes I do include "Batman and Robin") that grace the worst of lists, of all the movies meant to be the worst of the worst, this has to take the cake. My hats are off to the writers and producers, you have made the worst movie in history, and you should be proud of yourselves. I can't wait for the sequel, "Highlander: making love to a dead and decayed franchise".
Please, if you're going to try to resurrect this franchise--A franchise which I love dearly--please, please do something right, like hire actual writers!
