Title: Great film, but the director's cut not nearly as good as theatrical release!
Product review: First, I'll say that I absolutely love the theatrical release. It's one of a very, very few movies I return to watch. Brilliant. Given that, I thought the director's cut would be better - some holes filled in, more of our favorite characters, etc. I was surprised to discover that, for me, the additional scenes didn't add to the story. In fact, the opposite. This shouldn't be too much of a shock - Have you noticed that most of the "Deleted Scenes" aren't that great? In other words, the final editing is usually pretty darn good, IMHO. On the positive side, I bought this to replace an aging VHS tape, so I'm happy anyway. Thanks, Tom Hanks!
