Completely agree. The Director's Cut is better than the original, but the 'Uncut' (also called the mini-series version) is far better. It's actually LESS boring than the Director's Cut, due to the narration by Werner and several scenes which explain in more detail what's going on.

Director's Cut is for children with short attention spans. :P

Oh no i was wrong i dont have the uncut version, its the directors cut, i thought the directors cut is the uncut!

Oh, then you're missing about an hour of unseen footage.

I first watched the miniseries version for a couple of years, then saw the movie and thought "what the hell, where is the rest?" Then recently I saw director's cut, it was better than the movie, but I still missed a lot from the miniseries. So I think you can guess which one I prefer

I had the same experience. The movie was missing something after seeing the full length miniseries.

Few weeks ago i see the DirectorsCut in German TV and i think it was very good. But what is better in the 5h Version ? More fightscenes or only longer dialogs or so ?!

Long Dong Silver would certainly disagree with that...

More dialogue, more character development. Some scenes where there is action that doesn't really affect the overall story, and one or two action pieces (that I won't spoil here) that are quite memorable. More time is spent in repairing the u-boat.

The pace of the story is more deliberate in the uncut version, and so I think the story and the characters fit together better.
