I picked it up, I'm glad to say that this is a vast improvement over the theatrical. They mixed one of my favorite battle scenes and put it at the beginning of the movie, they also extended all of the battle scenes as well as making the movie flow MUCH better. I'm glad they fixed this one up.

DVD Talk Special Edition
Having never seen previous versions, and avoiding it on HBO, I have to say that it was a pretty good blind buy. I tend to not listen to the hype both positive and negative. I think people needs to chill out alittle. This movie was not that bad.

If you're picking it up on standard dvd, keep the Theatrical. The Final cut SD has no special features. However, if you go Blu, it's loaded with features and new commentaries.

Actually if you want all the special features you need the 2-disk Theatrical, the 2-disk Director's Cut (These 2 were released at the same time but they feature different commentaries), and the 2-disk HD-DVD OR Blu-Ray "Final Cut" Version (The DVD only has a short intro but the hi-def versions include 2-All new Commentaries, a new feature length documentary and other previously released extras.)
Also there is also a bonus disk that Wal-Mart carried that included a substantial featurette about how Colin Farrell became Alexander.

Well thankls but I really dont care about Special Features, I want to know if they are differant cuts? I thought I read somewhere that Revisited had a new cut along with the Theatrical cut. Or are they differant?

Yes they are all rather different (Both structurally and pacing-wise , not to mention new/extended scenes in the Final Cut)
175 min (theatrical)
167 min (director's cut)
220 min (Final cut)
175 min (theatrical)
167 min (director's cut)
220 min (Final cut)
