Director's Cuts
Am I the only one who isn't a fan of these for the most part? It's like....if there was a scene or scenes that were good, wouldn't they make it in the final cut? Most of the extended or deleted scenes usually don't add anything to the film and I can see why they didn't make it past the editor.

I don't think I've seen very many.
I have seen the Lord of the Rings extended editions, which I feel are good. I have seen the Donnie Darko director's cut which I thought sucked... Oh yeah, and all changes made to the original Star Wars trilogy are terrible |

The thing that annoys me about them is when they're released a year or so after the initial DVD/Blu-Ray release.
I just saw today X-Men: Days of Future Past; The Rogue Cut. Supposedly with about 40 minutes extra footage with Rogue returning? What the fuck? I wanna see it! But I don't wanna splash out and pay for it since I already have the DVD. |

Tron had one of the most bizarre deleted scenes I've ever seen.

This reminds me that I still have yet to see Superman: The Donner Cut.
Like anything else, director editons, SE's, and anything else with extra footage and/or alternate scenes are a pretty cool concept, but taken advantage of by people looking to make another quick buck off of sales. Like the whole 3D craze after AVTR... Cameron's film was *shot* in 3D, and seing that shit on an IMAX screen was in-fucking-credible. Then, everyone in Hollywood just started tacking that shit on if it made sense to do so or not, and you had a lot of shitshows looking to cash in (ironically, the *other* Avatar movie comes to mind.) The cool idea ends up just being a gimmick, and the few times it is implemented well ends up being the exception instead of the rule. |

Superman 2: Donner Edition has some real good things in it, but also some stuff that makes things worse. Ideal cut would be a mix of the two versions, but we're not gonna get that obviously.

Given what happened with Fox and Josh Trank, I wouldn't mind watching the director's cut of Fantastic Four.

There are times when the DC version majorly improves a film. Like the Abyss. The theatrical cut's ending makes no sense at all. And that was corrected in the director's cut.
