I'm no hater, but I absolutely think that the 4+ hour cut, which featured tons of superfluous scenes and many of the same lame plot contrivances the theatrical cut featured, was a step down from the mediocre product initially released in cinemas. What a wasted opportunity by a director who finally could have released the best version of his movie possible, but instead settled for just chucking everything back in and assuming more is better.
