Which release of the original RoboCop is the most accurate to the original version? The Criterion version looks more like a release print but the Arrow version looks completely different and was supervised by Paul Verhoeven. So is that version revisionist?

The Criterion release remains the only version to feature the 1.66:1 aspect ratio. There are people on here who like the 1.85:1 presentation but the framing has always felt jarring for me.
