I'd disagree with them. I bought the standard edition after having loved the
film at the cinema. I then bought the directors cut and when I watched it I
could see why all the added (extra) scenes were cut originally. They added
nothing to the story and/or were scenes not up to standard.

I subsequently off-ed the directors cut and have kept the original. Saying
that I haven't had the courage to see Ritchie's last effort after my mate
said he'd be embarrassed to lend it to me.......
