By the end, EH has become so chaotic it's hard to feel satisfied.
Found out doing some research.that there was only a 10 week schedule and than Paramount removed almost 30 minutes from the film to appeal more to audiences and for no good reason as EV didn't do good Box office at all. Two big strikes against it and not even any material left over for a Director's Cut, which stinks as this really could have been a decent film. **
The scenes with Sam Neill and Lawrence Fishburne are the best parts of the movie. I've watched the movie two or three times attempting to find a good movie worth owning. But I'm not there yet. I did read that they might have that director's cut after all coming out. So I'll give it a final chance then.

I didn't know about the Amazon series. Thanks.
