I find almost all of the films he made after 1990 were rather disappointing...

The Hunt for the Red October and The Russia House were both made in 1990. I think it was mostly downhill after that. I know some of these films are popular, but I didn't care for them. Some of them had potentially but they just don't work for me:

Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Medicine Man (1992)
Rising Sun (1993)
A Good Man in Africa (1994)
Just Cause (1995)
First Knight (1995)
DragonHeart (1996)
The Rock (1996)
The Avengers (1998)
Playing by Heart (1998)
Entrapment (1999)
Finding Forrester (2000)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Sir Billi (2012)

The early 1980s were a pretty fallow period for Connery as well. His career started to pick up again with The Name of the Rose and he had a second golden age between 1986 and 1990.

dragonheart, highlander 2 (I'd say it was better than the first film), first knight were not bad.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was interesting as well.

Yeah, it was very interesting. A interesting... disaster.

I enjoyed Medicine Man (1992).

It started off oK, Connery and the music are great, but Lorraine Bracco's grating screen presence and the too-often moments of silliness kind of lost me by the end of the show.
