"um, who ever said that colin farrell was the next brad pitt was seriously mistaken!!!he is nothing but his real, blunt&IRISH self, if he is to labled as anything it would be the best guy to ever walk this earth:)he needs to do a movie soon!!!Colin is freaking awesomely gorgeous & he dosen't talk bull either, and that is just...rare and really set in stone that there will never be another Colin Farrell maybe that's why we love him soo much, of course the accent plays a crucial part too!"
"I did not see the theatre version and only watched the last dvd release, and I thought it was a great epic movie. There was a unique style to it and I'm really not sure why it bombed, except it's just one of those things that happens sometimes. Just like good press, sometimes a bad situation steamrolls. Overall, I think it's a great movie to just sit down and relax to watch for a few hours with some food. And, I love Oliver Stone!"
"This restored version makes more sense than the previous releases. It is a better one and also considering the Blu-Ray high definition quality and sound. I recommend this version for all the reasons I have ststed."
"This is a throw-away movie that you can leave behind but while you watch it, you'll enjoy it. If you like Colin and EVERYbody likes Pacino (don't they???), you'll enjoy the movie. You probably will realize who the good and bad guys really are fairly early, but even if you don'ti** fine when you find out. You won't be disappointed and you won't be totally shocked either. This is a good, action/military kind of movie but it won't stay with you. That's fine, we need lots of movies like this one to fill us up while we wait for the next Big Fish or something memorable like that."
"Oh man, this movie scarred me for good. I had to watch it in a history class, which is a complete farce, since this is about as historical as the Lord of the Rings. To make matters worse, the movie is awful. The frequent attempts at humor are totally abysmal, and you can see the actors' embarrassment. What is this anyways? A Western for adolescent girls? What are a bunch of hairless pretty boy actors doing portraying wild hoodlums? What's with the pointless, gratuitous romance? What is this crap? Where are Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef when you need them? Unless you're an adolescent with an IQ between 30 and 90, avoid this at all costs."
"This Director's Cut improves on the original in almost every way. The plot holes are filled in, the fight scenes are more violent, and the romance is trimmed down a bit. And believe it or not, former rapper Coolio was actually quite funny, especially in the court scene when he mentions he uses only shotguns (you'll know what I mean when you see it). If this was the version released in theaters I think most people would have this one at the top of the Superhero film lists right beside Batman, X-Men 2, and Spider-Man 2. This version is worth buying and I will never watch the theatrical cut again."
"Now I remember why I had the faint feeling that this was a horrible movie. I vaguely remember that it was a mess and figured a directors cut might fix it(like Kingdom of Heaven), then as I watched it I realized that if the director is horrible a directors cut wouldn't do much.
He just made it longer, not better. Wow, do I hate this movie, waste of time and money."
