	Author	Review
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Mulcahy and company don't ask us to suspend disbelief; they ask us to pretend we've all had weed-whacker lobotomies"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Highlander II: The Quickening' is the most hilariously incomprehensible movie I've seen in many a long day—a movie almost awesome in its badness (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"No plot, no real story, no point really (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Variety	"Audiences unfamiliar with the first film will be hard put to follow the action (...) as it incoherently hops about in time and space."	NEG
United Kingdom	John Ferguson Radio Times	"It just doesn't click (...) There's not enough flash to cover the lack of substance (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"[It] improves upon the original. This doesn’t mean that it’s anywhere near a classic of time-travel fantasy adventure. Rather, as both prequel and sequel, it makes clearer much that was so vague in the original"	NEU
United States	R.L. Shaffer IGN	"An awful movie (...) The problem is – the film plays more like a brainstorm exercise than a feature length film."	NEG
United States	Louis Black Austin Chronicle	"There is no plot, no stories, no character. Or, I should say, there is too much plot, narrative detail connected to narrative detail without thought or affection (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
