Title: Director's cut ruined the movie
Review: Why oh why did they only distribute the director's cut on DVD?It decidedly destroys the entire film noir aspect of the original film's theater release. Without the narrative insight delivered by Harrison Ford's character, this version falls flat. Boring.I'd always thought Ridley Scott was brilliant but I question his choices (and taste) on this release version. I guess it's a good thing the studio intervened on the theater release.I was fooled into buying this director's cut version having no idea it had been so altered, thinking it was the same movie with extra scenes. Hah. Now I treasure my old 1982 VHS version and hope I can preserve it for future enjoyment.The DVD director's cut is worthless to me - except maybe as a coaster.
Is the review positive or negative?
