which movie did you think was better?

 

[King Webbsticles]

Kingdom of Heaven and it isn't really that close.

The director's cut almost makes it a different movie, IMO.

Director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven*

Completely different version from the theatrical release, and one of my favorite movies ever.

 

[VolBuck24]

Troy by far.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'll have to check out the directors cut

Worthwhile. You can't an hour and a main character out of a movie and not significantly change and probably ruin it. This is one of the better examples out there of a studio butchering a director's great work for the sake of box office numbers.

 

[buckeyevol23]

Gotta go with Kingdom of Heaven although I think the director's cuts of both are significantly better than the theatrical versions.

 

[MG1968]

Kingdom of Heaven

Kingdom of Heaven for me too. I've never really cared that much for Eric Bana.
