Title: Keep the extra minutes of your life and watch the original
Review: I thought Apocalypse Now was a must-see film and the words on the box made this version sound like it was an ever greater masterpiece than the original, so I gave it a try. It will be my one-and-only, but boy-do-I-regret-having-done-it Apocalypse Now experience. I should have known better. Masterpiece is critic code for bizarre, misogynistic, and so strewn with filthy language your grandmother's ghost will haunt you for weeks. Extended version is code for the stuff we couldn't put in the original because the mens in suits realized audiences wouldn't like it. This kind of movie is for the fans who like both David Lynch and Showgirls. I regret having seen those too.
