The theatrical version is great!! - The directors cut sucks

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2000)

I originally saw the film when it came out in theaters and was very happy I did. Good sci-fi films are few and far between. Naturally when the dvd was released I bought the director's unrated version since it supposedly contains 3 additional minutes. Bad choice. And not the case. For some reason Twohy decided to remove key scenes and portions of scenes in his cut that create a total lack of continuity. There is less gore, less action, less of everything that made the film one of my favorites. In this case, the R rated version delivers much much more.
