Definitely good enough

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2004)

I recently had a chance to watch this movie for a second time. I liked it again, which is a good indication (for me) of a good movie. Just wanted to comment about the director's cut, though. In this case, I think the director was wrong. I'll try not to get into spoiling details.
All the director's cut changes are aimed at providing a different ending, but in my opinion the theatrical version's ending was much more powerful. I mean... a movie like this cannot be made perfectly self-consistent. There will always be holes in the plot, and they must be forgiven as long as the main plot line is locally-sound. The director's cut ending just doesn't have the powerful thought-provoking quality of the theatrical one. And movies like this are good mainly for their thought-provoking.
Nevertheless, both versions are good. 8/10
