Synopsis
NINJA SCROLL director Yoshiaki Kawajiri melds the beauty of anime with the Highlander legacy in this film that spans centuries. Driven by revenge and justice, Colin MacLeod hunts for the man responsible for the death of his love. He chases the immortal Marcus Octavius across centuries as his quest threatens to take over his life and heart. In his quest, he meets a woman who reminds him of his slain beauty. But it's his final battle with Marcus that will decide not only his fate, but also the fate of everyone in the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars There can be only one. Again., 14 Aug 2007
By T. R. Alexander (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Highlander: Search for Vengeance is an animated take of the Highlander mythos but has little to do with the original film or any of its lacklustre sequels and spin-offs. This film takes the action from the Roman conquest of Britain through some major historical events such as the fall of Rome and World War II (told in flashback) to the post apocalyptic streets of a ruined New York. The story follows the Immortal Colin McLeod as he seeks vengeance through the ages against fellow Immortal Marcus Octavius, the Roman general who killed his wife.

This vision of the Highlander story is interesting but as I have already stated has little to do with the original film. The animation is great but the voice acting does leave something to be desired. The story is interesting with some nice ideas but the rather lacklustre ending is rather a disappointment. Overall this film would probably appeal more to fans of anime than of the Highlander franchise and although this attempt is better than any of the previous Highlander sequels, it is still nowhere near as good as the original film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Re-Imagining" of an 80s Classic, 17 Dec 2007
By Kuma (London) - See all my reviews
Highlander was a great film and I was really pleased that it has been given an anime spin. The anime really recaptures the spirit of the first Highlander film, charting the development (and lack of development) of McCloud as he battles another immortal, Marcus Octavius.

The story line is fairly standard working along the core Highlander themes of rivalry and immortals beheading each other and taking their powers via "the quickening". The film's central theme is however about Love vs. Vegeance, with McCloud hell bent on vegeance against Marcus Octavius at the expense of those who love him. If I had one criticism of the film, it is that the vegeance theme is overplayed and that the focus on McCloud's tragedy (his blindness to love)misses the point that his actions are always against society and order, indeed this is only overcome by the increasingly "evil" conduct of Marcus Octavius.

The animation is slick and is a good mixture of obvious CGI and more traditional animation. The character designs reflect the director's previous success in being stylistically close to Ninja Scroll. There is some fan service via two of the female support characters, but this tastefully handled and doesn't come at the expense of film time or plot development. The film makes excellent use of colouration to help provide mood (almost like in Kai Doh Maru) while the soundtrack is suitably rock influenced without being overbearing.

The film is a real treat to watch and is a good introduction to anime for those not familiar with it, whilst long term fans will enjoy the fusion of anime themes with classic cinema.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good version of Hightlander., 4 Nov 2007

I rented via Amazon, after viewing the film I found the film overall good.

The film offers a good story that only lacks in more action.

It has sections in the film that allows you to go back in time.

To understand where he came from and where he is heading.

I did find the back flashes of his past memory somewhat to much

and just wanted the film to get on with the task in hand.

The film is set in the future and does offer some very good fight parts

that I only wished the director of this film would have offered more.


The ending is left wide open for more of Highlander.

If you liked the action real Highlander film, then you will love this

carton version, as a comparison, I would say this version is far better

to view than the real film, considering I enjoyed the first Highlander film at the time.


Overall it's worth buying or renting, but rent it first just in case.

Picture 4/5 & Sound 3/5. Overall i rated it 4/5 You should enjoy this version
