I thought it was interesting- outtakes invariably are. But I prefer the original.
I did like the French plantation scene. Other than that I am glad most of the stuff was cut. Duval having his board stolen make Col Kilgore less of a larger-than-life character. I might have kept that scene with Brando reading to Sheen. Gave us a bit more sense of who he was. The additional bunny scene punctured the effect of them dancing with all the phallic missles around.
There was this guy in college who was fascianted by the movie. So much so that he read and reread Heart of Darkness so as to understand it better. He would point out how much the film mirrored the book right down to the boat swerving in the same direction while they are under attack.
