702563, Films that you like the Director's cut more than Original
Posted by go mack, Wed Sep-09-15 10:50 PM
I decided to watch The Outsiders and apparently grabbed the new version that added 20 minutes. Not sure if its better or not yet, like it so far.
What films do you only watch the Director's cut and won't bother with original anymore?
Ones I am aware of people stating but haven't seen all of these:
Kingdom of Heaven
Superman II
X-men: DOFP Rogue Cut
Blade Runner

It might be blasphemy to film geeks, but I like Redux a bit more.

702595, fascinating stand-alone sequence that has no place being in the movie

i enjoy most of the redux footage, though i think the movie is better off without all of it

702582, thought of a couple more

Daredevil is way better, still not great but way better
LOTR, these are super long anyways but some of the added scenes I think are necessary, Saruman needed closure at least

702587, I'm 50/50 on the "Return of the King" director's cut

One on hand, you get resolution with Sauraman and Grimer Wormtongue, beyond just "They're now trapped in the tower. Leave them there." And the scene at the Gates of Mordor with Sauron's messanger is pretty damn cool.
However, other stuff just doesn't add much, and kind of takes away the "suspense." Like with Aragorn drafting the army of the dead. It works better if they meet them in the cave, then the next time you see them is when they show up at the battle.
