I have seen both the long Director's Cut and the short theatrical release.
The Short version is the DVD release, which was ok, the film goes much faster but it leaves many holes in the plot.
The Long Version helps to fill in the plot holes, watch this version if you really like long films and are into history quite heavely, otherwise stick with the short version if you just want entertainment value, plus it still manages to keep your attention.
This film is truly a masterpiece that will be enjoyed for Generations to come.
