The original was great. It was funny with good action. It had a great balance of both. Usually when you see directors cut its a few changes the ordinary viewer wouldn't notice or the movie could have done without. Either way it still stays true to the main movie you remember. But this movie sucked big time! I see why they cut this out and went with the one in theaters. It is almost a totally different movie. The end was AWFUL. To make matters worse, They changed the mian bad guy in the movie into a women it wasn't a good idea. You see her and your like WTF. This would have got a least 3-4 if they released this on Blu-Ray with original and this as the extra disc. I enjoyed the thearter version much more. I wish they would have warned me I would not have purchased this movie.
