When the original cut came out in 1984, it was trashed. Leone's cut is a masterpiece. (Still shouldn't be compared to The Godfather.)
Hey, how's it going?

Its definetily a masterpiece, Leone's 2nd best IMO. Its in my top 20 ever! But I dont conisder it better than The Godfather, between Mobmovies I prefer GF1, GF2 and Goodfellas over UOATIA...

Great movie, but not in the same ballpark as the Godfather.
I saw this movie in it's theatrical release back in the day. It was a good movie and IMO did not deserve the thrashing that it received.
That being said I was thrilled when the directos cut was released on DVD. I had seen portions of the directors cut on TV but never in its entirety and was looking forward to buying it (I don't but alot of DVD's so that tells you what I thought of the movie). The directors cut is a better movie and is actually a different movie, but I don't think the difference between the two are that far apart.
It improved but I was expecting a bigger improvement.
