It's like, if the first is mildly successful, let's make a sequel that totally contradicts the first? Or is just so stupid and unbelievable that I lose respect for the original? :)Keriann Greaney Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584000678535698327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-71205760680461198602011-04-28T13:13:24.278+07:002011-04-28T13:13:24.278+07:00Wow Adam!

Second, I saw the first Highlander, thought is a good movie (sorry to not share the utter enthusiasm of the other posters and yourself, thought I'm sure I'd love it if I saw it again), but having read the plot on wikipedia I feel that I'm in mourning over the destruction of a sound story/world.
