If you are happy with the release, ok. I'm not happy at all.
This is probably the main issue here: even though this version is "director approved", the real question is... is it the director's "original intent"? Was is shown this way in the theaters when it was released? (If not, was it because of technical limitations of the time or maybe studio interference?)

Or is it "director's intent: 2014"... an afterthought thanks to all the new technology and software available today.
