Title: A Once Great Movie Destroyed
Review: I watched the movie and felt like I was missing pieces, that scenes were shorter, even that entire scenes were missing, but it had been so long since I watched it I just thought I remembered the movie being better than it actually was. Then I watched the director's commentary. He took at least 15 minutes away from the movie. Most director's add to their movie when given a chance, not take away from it. The Director's Son created a disjointed, fragmentary movie very unlike the original in mood and plot.After waiting years for the DVD release of Erik the Viking, I was extremely disappointed and a little angry at the way they treated one of my favorite movies. I hope to see the Theatrical Release available some time in the near future, as I don't think I'll be watching this Director's Son's Cut again, and I certainly won't be sharing this version of the movie with friends and family as I had originally planned.
