The combination of imaginative story lines and genuine social or political commentary really does set this property apart from a host of other entertainments in the general comic genre. The film is rated R and in case you didn’t get a chance to see it in theaters, it’s a very hard R rating so it’s not intended for younger audiences. The Director’s Cut version times in at over 215 minutes so you are definitely in for a very long, powerful film that goes where very few other movies have been willing to, especially in a superhero genre.

While the theater release had to make concessions to fit its format, with this Blu-Ray set you get the full meal deal.
