Saw it in 2D today. First time at the cinema since November last time last year and what a killer movie to see! Hulk steals the show but the others all get a good showing too. I loved the use of humour. The Galaga guy had me in stitches. The movie also had me wanting to go out to my garage to work out. So many triceps :lol:

There was talk about Highlander 2 - Renegade Version few messages back, and as it happens I have it in my collection as I usually get director's cuts when I can. So, long time has passed since I last watched it and now I remember why... If theatrical version is complete shaite, this does not improve things a great deal. List of rubbish is so long that I can't be bothered, what were they thinking? Obviously nothing more than money. Avoid!

Dark City (Director's Cut)

one of my favorite sci-fi flicks from the 90's. Wonderfully dark and kind of like a combination of Blade Runner, The Matrix and Hellraiser...well, as I said, kinda. Watched it on Blu-ray and it definitely looks much better than it did on DVD and VHS, heh. It's not gonna make your jaw drop when it comes to its HD presentation but I doubt it will ever look better than this.

One of my favourite films too!!!! It's almost nauseating how it is edited though - a real visual headfuck.

I have 2 copies on DVD for some reason. Thats probably a good sign. Maybe.

the Director's Cut is even better. Not sure if that one's available on DVD though. But yeah, great flick! :)

I'd tell you to check this page http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3551125 which shows all the differences, alas it's all in German :P
but I agree, the DC is the better version. So now you know which movie to watch next, Ming Mong :D

edit: Also, if any of you guys wants to know whether a Blu-ray upgrade for this movie makes sense or not

just pick one of the screenshots and then click '1920x1080 Fullscreen Comparison'
looks much better on BD in my opinion :D

Saw it in 2D yesterday - and yes. Joss Whedon has done a fantastic job with this film. I could see his style of humour and action in it throughout. Excellent movie, made me really happy!!

I have the original version on DVD. I love that movie! Dark sci-fi, almost Clive Barkerish. I'd like to see the Director's Cut tho!

if you got a Blu-ray player then pick up the Blu-ray. It contains the theatrical and the Director's Cut. Very much worth it. But I guess you folks in the US (and probably everyone else except for us Germans) can get the Director's Cut on DVD too.


Also: The final cut of Blade Runner on Blu-ray. Holy fuck! Holy fuck is all I can say!

also, if you look at my avatar you might know which other movie I watched recently. Nope, it wasn't The Passion of the Christ.
