Casual movie fans almost always prefer a release with Theatrical and Director’s Cuts (which is far more accurate than the Special Edition moniker it has been given.) Two for the price of 1, awesome! I didn’t even know there were two versions, I gotta try it out.
Most of the time, casual movie fans don’t care or know the difference. In my experience if they even realize there are multiple cuts, they tend to just automatically assume the latest or “director’s” cut is better. Which, in fairness, it often is. Star Wars is a major exception.
