Matthew Lillard should have never been chosen for the part he was cast in, i thought he was awful. The score was attrocious aswell it had me wanting to tear my eyes out and what the hell happened to the intro for the love of god most boring into to a fantasy ever

Yeah, Lillard is ok otherwise, he (or the direction) just doesn't work in this film. I can handle Burt Reynolds, but, you nailed it about Liotta -- he seems to know he's not supposed to be there. And they dress him in a leather jacket!? I kept waiting for him to pull a 9mm instead of casting a spell. I caught the Ron Perlman Highlander episode soon after this. Pretty rough when a 60-million-dollar movie isn't even in the ballpark of a low-budget TV show.

Lillard's skills are limited, but given the right role he is fine. I thought he made a great Shaggy, he was also fine in Scream and Wicker park. His, ahem, acting style is not suited to fantasy. But then, I don't Boll's are either.....

Considering Matthew Lillard played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies, this movie probably should be thought of as mediocre.
