This movie was definitely a disappointment, and had a lackluster soundtrack. The original movies, flawed though they were, came out at the birth of "the cgi era" so their effects weren't special, but they looked like most every other sci-fi film of the time and were at the time "cutting edge."! The Source granted was based on the Highlander story, but fit in more with the late 80's than the early 21st century. The original had a edgy soundtrack, that fit the story well, even the TV show which came out much later incorporated the original music,, why did they try to update the song by making it tame and horrible, it felt like a "crooner version". Music is ageless, if it stuck with the original movie, and stood the test of time for decades, then don't mess with it.
Adrian Paul is the ultimate Highlander, so I rented this because of his character, that wasn't as good an idea as I thought though. Duncan was a jaded warrior as opposed to Duncan in the TV series, where he was the altruistic hero capable and willing of dealing with anything. The guardian was more laughable not to mention out-of-place as "the guardian of The Source" who didn't do a very good job as he was traipsing all over creation to kill the immortals or something. Methos was and is one of the best secondary characters in the story. The Source itself was enough to motivate the immortals. A little rough language at appropriate times, but the violence was more silly gore than shocking, so it's probably not a good flick for young kids, but older kids might like it, but why would they, there's so much better out there! Worth a watch for a popcorn fix, but I'd try to catch it on TV.
