Why a director's cut??

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2002)

IMHO Scott should not have done a director's "cut". I miss the voice-over!
As Billy Wilder said, the voice-over is used to explain things to the audience which can't be see on screen. When Ford explains to us in which language he is addressed, what kind of exotic thing he is eating and what motivated him to become a Blade Runner again etc.
>>>Spoiler ahead>>>
But most of all I miss it when Rutger Hauer's character dies. The movie is a perfect one in the original version, so why on earth make a director's cut? It is most sadly that the director's cut seems to be the "official" version to the audience these days, as mentioned here by someone else recently.
Original version: 10/10 Director's cut: 7/10
