...When I saw its theatrical release, it came in around the ~2 or so hour range, and although I appreciated Cosner's vision, I didn't enjoy the film until missing footage was included years later.

Happens to other films as well -- an seemingly unfinished rush to release, then proper tidying up later after some time to mull has passed.

Time viewing a film seems to pass quickly when a long story is well told, rather than a shorter rush to print that leaves an audience confused.

Perhaps that is why I generally seek out the "director's, or "restored" cut when available -- the whole shebang so to speak.
