The ultimate cut edition is going to be out before Christmas in the states, going to double dip for that i think!

Ultimate Cut? That isn't the censored kiddy-friendly version i watched on the cruise ship by any chance?

BullSpit!

Wow, so did they actually film a recreation Tales of The Black Freighter, or is it just an animated section?

I still haven't seen this, so what version/cut is the essential one to watch guys?

I have the directors cut. I really liked it, It seemed to follow the frames from the book really well. I thought it was a good motion visualization of what had been happening. There were differences of course but it didn't bother me as much as many people. Keep in mind, I like the book but I don't worship it.

I saw the general dvd release yesterday and wasn't actually very impressed. The look was pretty close and most of the acting was reasonable (if a little lightweight) but the film felt like it had just been edited down way too much.

They changed things senselessly too, like when Rorshach kills the child murderer; in the book he gives him a saw and sets fire to the place (i.e cut your arm off and you might escape) but in the film he just hacks him to death.. there were a lot of things they could have kept faithful to the book without affecting it imo. Plus the alternate ending while not story breaking is a tad weak.

Is it worth watching a longer version with less cuts?
