The AnimaTure

We all know the story behind highlander from the famous movies where christoffer lambert starred as Connor Macleod.
The concept was about immortality and how people could achieve it and this was due to luck of surviving a severe wound that has a 99% chance to lead to your death.
They gain immortality by luck and learn about it with the time they have been given.
The only way to die is to have their heads removed from their body.
It is not a gift for most because they still feel the pain that a normal human would get before they die.
The immortals are different, they feel and will always feel even with their superior regenerative body, they feel the pain.

Some achieved great wealth, others became villains.
The ultimate goal was to be the only one so they have to kill each other as a survival to the fittest.

Highlander: The Search for Vengeance starts of with a battle in medieval England where the highlanders are fighting the English army. Collin Macleod dies in battle and gets called ' a true Macleod, of the Macleod clan'.  Immortals can feel the presence of another immortal and this is how they find each other even when they're miles apart from each other.

What annoys me is that when the movie starts we get to see Collin fighting demons and later on we get to see normal humans and nothing more.

It has the same setting as the original highlander, the immortals battle each other and the victor gets the powers from the defeated one with a lighting show attached to it.

The most awesome character is the villain Marcus Octavius.

A Roman centurion that has achieved immortality before Collin had achieved his and has been Collin's nemesis for centuries.

Something tells me that they are in America as the bar is pretty 'American styled'. The music just gives the feeling of the American mood and the people have that gangster and depressed look.

Later on we get to hear that they are in New York. We get to see Dhalia going up to Collin and a flashback tells us a bit more about Collin's past.

Collin gets drugged and his beloved one is going to his future nemesis to ask him not to attack the Macleod clan.

Out of pity for the attempt to stop Octavius it ended in a slaughter of the Macleod clan and with the only surviving Collin, he swore to seek revenge.

Here is where Collin's adventure starts as a one-man army against the Roman army and Marcus Octavius. The flashback is over and Dhalia is convincing Collin to come with her as he would end up 'dead' sooner or later which is practically a joke for him.

Marcus Octavius is a leader of a company that rules the city and he keeps to his old Roman ways of having his own personal Colosseum with his golden chamber.

Marcus's flashback on how he met his companion that he owns whom is also an immortal thanks to him, is staying with him since the 17th century.
Dhalia tried to seduce Collin to go to bed with her but he has no interest for such matters as she was trying to get a favor from him.

Collin left Dhalia's place and saw Marcus on a screen display which made his blood boil and another flashback started.

The first battle between Collin and Marcus at a disadvantage that Collin was not wearing any armor and got a severe wound to the head.
 
He only survived because Marcus is a Roman and Romans are religious and hereby Collin survived as he fell of his horse on holy ground.

Markus was irritated by this and mumbled that Collin was a lucky man.
Collin regained his consciousness after a year or so as time flashed by and he was being watched by a druid called Amergan. He warned Collin to lay down his sword with a subtle hint that even if he is a mortal that he has to worry about pain.

 Later when Collin is raiding the 'tower' he finds out that Marcus is asking him to come at him by inviting him with the elevator doors that open up. We see flashbacks of the fierce battles that both Collin and Marcus had throughout the ages.
Collin has found new love but also forced to leave her and since then he threw away his emotions of love and trust.

Collin kept on fighting Marcus and every battle they fought, Marcus escaped. It was as if Marcus was playing with him. We see that Marcus eventually joins the Axis army and Collin on the side of the Allies. Every time they fought and Colling was about to die he was on holy ground which Marcus had no choice to let him alive.

The flashback from medieval war to the world war 1 setting is just amazingly done. Marcus clearly shows us that he is toying around with Collin as he is superior to Collin in every way.

Collin dies again and comes back alive and Dhalia founds out that he is immortal. Dhalia gets mad because everyone she knows is going to fight Marcus while the odds are too big.

An army of robots, high tech weaponry against a group of townspeople with normal weapons. Colling is strong enough to defeat a whole base on his own but hes nothing against a helicopter and Dhalia saves his back and he goes on his way to Marcus once again.

Marcus's catchphrase is true but also barbarian itself.

'Barbarians will be barbarians, they never change'

The Romans killed barbarians because they didn't want to do anything with Rome's ruling and treatment as non-Romans. The town is ready for a new beginning as collin Macleod of the Macleod clan has finally defeated his nemesis. Collin wanders off once again but this time not with vengeance in his heart.
I gave Highlander: The Search for Vengeance a 4 out of 5 on Anime-Planet
