The Special Edition DVD - causes a rethink - SPOILERS

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2003)

Having just watched the special edition DVD, that comes with the Quadrilogy, I have to conclude that I need to re-evaluate my opinions on this film.
Yes, I was aware of the problems that Fincher had with the film during its filming, but when I went to the cinema to see the film on its release, I came away feeling let down (as a fan of the two previous films) and more importantly confused.
Now (although without Fincher's blessing) we can have a clearer idea of the vision that he was driving for. Whilst this DVD is not the classic many had hoped for, the inclusion of more character detail, storyline depth and the motivations of Golick and the company have made the whole experience not only more comprehensive, but far more compelling if not that much more scary.
So for those of you who have an interest in the series I recommend another view of the film in its SE status. With its far more developed religious themes and Ripley characterisation and personally think most of you will be very pleasantly surprised.
