Theatre/VHS version MUCH BETTER than Director's Cut

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2005)

I just watched the Director's Cut of BR. I don't know why this version left off certain parts (Harrison Ford narrative at beginning and end was left out of the DC) and then dwelled on some of the darker aspects (the gory parts seemed excessive).
The music is absolutely gorgeous and is probably the best work of Vangelis. It was such a contrast to some of the dark scenes to have this beautiful ethereal music playing in the background.
Anyway, if I can find a copy of the regular version then I will buy it. But I'm not going to bother getting a copy of the director's cut.
Theatre/VHS version: 9 out of 10 Director's Cut: 6 out of 10
