I’m of the opinion that the original Highlander was barely above b-movie schlock, and it became a cult hit for being better than it should’ve been and little else. (ie soundtrack)
As such, I have low expectations for this reboot but will be happy if it’s good.
Same with Flash. The movie was low budget shit but the Queen soundtrack made it legendary. I actually tried to rewatch Highlander recently and was surprised at how poorly it stood up compared to my memory.

It is absolutely B-movie. It just happened to hit a certain vibe. Compare Highlander to the infamously MST3Ked Cave Dwellers, and it’s the same level.
“What’s he writing?”
“The script.”
In a lot of ways the TV show was better. Mythos and that whole idea was incredible.

Isn’t that the prevalent opinion?
Maybe. I’m older and used to decades of insane fandom.
