Well, I know that the final cut is generally considered superior but I actually prefer the original international cut - I saw the DC first and I thought it was ok, but I only fell in love with the film when I saw the original (In a crappy LD transfer at the time). I like the narration and I prefer the original colour palette. Hell, I admit, I even like the original happy ending. And I like the original FX.

Optical FX, while admittedly usually less realistic, have a kind of interesting look, which I find very aesthetically pleasing. I actually like every single of those recomposited shots that I posted before better in the original version than the SE ones, the SE ones just lack the charm and character of the originals, they just look like every other effect today does.
