REDUX OR ORIGINAL?

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2002)

IMDB needs seperate listings for the 1979 classic and the 2001 director's cut. The former is a classic while the latter is a bomb.

I don't recall ever seeing a film where the director's cut was so inferior to the original. The extra footage adds NOTHING to the film but does make the movie seem both endless and meaningless.
Sometimes less is more (ie, the 1979 theatrical release). It's unfortunate that the DVD doesn't allow the viewer to select which version to watch.
