A distant and animated sequel to the 1986 Highlander, which starred Christopher Lambert as an immortal Scottish swordsman, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance concerns the tale of Colin MacLeod, a 2nd century, Celtic warrior who becomes immortal following his defeat at the hands of Roman tyrant Marcus Octavius. Colin spends the next couple of millenia chasing after Marcus--also immortal--as the latter reinvents himself time and again as a ruler of kingdoms in every corner of the globe. The longtime duel extends into Earth's dystopian future about 200 years from now, where Colin--now a wandering mercenary--finds Marcus once again making lives miserable as head of a private government wielding a deadly virus. Drawing Colin into the fight is the lovely Dahlia, hauntingly reminiscent of every woman the hero has loved over hundreds of years. Dynamic, visually compelling, and boldly imaginative, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is full of surprises and more than just another story of an embittered loner meandering through a futuristic wasteland. Directed by the prolific Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Neo-Tokyo). --Tom Keogh

 Best of both worlds October 7, 2008
Carlie Smith
Are you a big fan of anime ? or do you prefer Highlander ? This is a combination of the two. It's an all new addition to the highlander series (movies or actual series). The story will grab your attention as you watch the immortal Colin going after the man that killed his wife. There's just two problems, one: the man that colin is after is also immortal, and two: he killed Colin's wife centuries ago... Talk about holding a grudge. Great action, story lines, definately should be viewed by mature audiences. Overall a must have !
Highlander: Search for Vengenace September 30, 2008

the Movie was great, its just depressing that the main character can't off that one guy, which makes the movie a little repetative.
There could be only... more August 4, 2008
Hermann Heissl (Austria)
Brilliant animation, a good storyline and a really classic Kawajiri anime in the tradition of Ninja Scroll.
The main character reminds on Christopher Lambert in his trenchcoat.
Sure, the character drawings are not as detailed as in Vampire Hunter D-Bloodlust but I like the use of a certain Scottish accent for the voices.
I hope this will be not the last Highlander anime.
If you like the Highlander movies and good anime, this is a must have.
Don't miss it!
Solid addition to the franchise June 29, 2008
M. H. Dulas (New York, NY)
Few franchises yo-yo so much between episodes and media type than Highlander. The recent made for tv movies are awful and the first cartoon was pathetic. This, however, was a nice addition that was better than I expected. Past and not-so-distant future are woven together for an interesting story. The story is fairly predictible, but fun to watch all the same. The animation is above average and not gorey unnecessarily. A solid addition to a hot-and-cold franchise.
Better than expected June 2, 2008
Daniel Shaw (Plymouth, MA USA)
I'm normally iffy on cartoons made off of movies, especially movies like Highlander. But this movie managed to pull a pretty good story in the amount of time they gave it. There's a reason its unrated, its pretty violent, but that's something you'd expect from a Highlander movie.
Final Conclusion: Without giving too much of the movie away I can say that its well worth the money as far as purchase.
