Yes I got it from Connerys character and his character alone

Interesting. And you didn't get that impression from Brown's character, who was three thousand years old?

Not really...Brown did a fun villain, but I didn't get that feeling that he had been around for a long time

I always thought Highlander was a cool concept. And I'll admit sometimes I'll replay the intro to the tv series several times. So awesome!

Connery is what made the movie great

Also why does everyone think of Ryan Reynolds being the new Connor MacLeod?

eh, its not like Lambert or Paul were any great actors so Reynolds really doesn't have all that high of a standard to live up to

I'd rather they try getting someone actually Scottish, or at least UK, for the role. I can't imagine RR with the accent.

Im thinking whatever studio is behind the reboot/remake wants a sizable name to go with it

There are plenty of bankable UK actors.

I remember watching this i was a kid i too havent seen much past the first ones i would love to check them out at some point

They should hire an unkown actor (who's a good actor) to play Conner and big names to play the supporting cast.
