Most worthwhile extended/director's cut?

[Kevin Roegele]

The criteria for this is not, "which is the best film overall?". It's about which extended/director's cut do you think was most worthwhile, and added the most to the film?

For instance, I think Spider-Man 2 is better than Daredevil. However, Spider-Man 2.1 adds very little to the movie, whereas the director's cut of Daredevil adds a lot and definetly improves the film.

Superman 2001 DVD
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
X-Men Branching version
Spawn - The Director's Cut (there was a director?
Daredevil - Director's Cut
Blade: Trinity - Unrated Version
Spider-Man 2.1
Hellboy - Director's Cut
Elektra - The Director's Cut
The Punisher (2004) - Extended Cut
Fantastic Four - Extended Cut

Definitely the most significant was Donner's Supes II. It was so radically different than the original version.

But also the original Supes, DD, Punisher and FF added something worthwhile to the movies.

 

[Addendum]

Out of the one's listed I own the Hellboy one. But I've not seen the theatrical version.

And I've not watched any of the others

Seems like it's between DD and SII.

I'm going with the Daredevil: Director's Cut because it took a pretty average film and made it pretty darn good.

The Donner Cut of SII, while incredibly different, didn't do that much for me. I still prefer the Lester cut.

The X-men definitely doesn't belong on there since the branching is really just a bad extra feature and none of the so called editing in the branching really fits at all.

Spawn director's cut is virtually the same. No actual scenes are restored. There is like one gag with the clown and a snow ball, and an utterance of the S-bomb.

for me it's gotta be the donner cut of superman 2...it was like watchin' a completely different (and better) film.

DD: Director's Cut for me.

Both are extended versions.

I'm still not counting them .

Superman II

 

[Warhammer]

Daredevil Director's Cut or Superman II: Donner Cut.
They seriously change/improve the film as a whole.

 

[K.B.]

The Daredevil Directors Cut is the only one that should be here as it greatly improves on the film.

It's pretty cheap (under 10 bucks) and is worth every penny just for the commentarry track which proves why Avi Arad is a moron (if you didn't know)

 

[Catman]

Superman II. ALTHOUGH it wasn't really the Donner cut. It was showing you what the Donner Cut would have been like.

 

[Sun_Down]

I've only seen the Daredevil Director's Cut and I think it really improved the film.

 

[JTStarkiller]

Yeah, that's tough. Superman II was turned from a mediocre movie into a pretty good movie, while Daredevil was turned from a good movie to a really good movie. I went with Superman II, but both benefited greatly.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Best - Spider-Man 2.1 (as SM2 is the best comic movie ever, and 2.1 is just the movie only a little more).

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is second best, followed by Daredevil: The Dirctor's Cut.

Daredevil...someone should get fired for cutting all of that out of the film

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Best - Spider-Man 2.1 (as SM2 is the best comic movie ever, and 2.1 is just the movie only a little more).
