I've been wondering but do they need to release the Theatrical Version and Director's Cut version at the same time?
Since the Director's Cut version is longer, wouldn't be logical that we buy this one only?
@NeoD
Well,I think it's maybe for fans to compare the differences. Remember,not all DC ver. include longer battle scenes.Some will show draggy scenes(e.g.useless dialogues).
But I'll definitely watch the DC ver. instead since it's the more original ver. Heck I still havent watch MegaMax DC yet cos I'm lazy to watch.
The reason for that is usually business.
First things first: we’re fully aware that “director’s cut” almost never means what we think it means. In the film industry, a “director’s cut” is simply one version of a film that the director has personally overseen the editing of, despite the fact that this cut is by no means polished, or final. When we use “director’s cut” in regular usage today, we are usually referring to an alternate, “director’s version” of the film, thus implying that the theatrical release was not, in fact, what the original director had in mind. That being said, we will be using the phrase “director’s cut” as a synonym with “director’s version.” Just because, you know. It’s easier.
Almost all of these films have had at least one or two “director’s cuts” made after the theatrical release of their films; for some reason or another, the studio disapproved of the director’s original vision, and, as studios are wont to do, replaced it with their own. This is not even remotely uncommon in movie studios, I believe it might be prudent to revisit some of those films whose director’s cuts differ so strongly from their their theatrical versions that it becomes difficult to view the two cuts as even being the same film. While the director’s versions are almost always superior to the theatrical cuts, the different versions of these films aren’t necessarily awful: even the awkwardly-directed, hamhandedly written Lester version of Superman II still has its merits, and the studio-perverted version of Brazil is immensely entertaining in its total inanity.
In other words, it’s worth watching all of the different versions of these films; regardless of whether or not all the versions end up being entertaining, their changes and additions will tell you a lot about the politics of filmmaking, and how one or two small changes can transform the entire tone or purpose of a film.
For me.
I love to watch original version. NOT THE additional version. I feel like I watch at the movie theatre when I watch original one.
Can you make a link for the movie?
