    OVERALL: Draw

    - For the Ultimate Cut, the US CE is the best option for the wealth of extras both on the discs and in the box.
    - For the Director's Cut, it's a choice between the UK 2-Disc Director's Cut for the commentaries, additional extra, and easter egg and the US DC for including the theatrical version of the film, but only as a Digital copy.
    - For the Theatrical version, draw between the French, Hungarian, Italian and UK editions, which have almost identical specifications.

    Details of the differences between the Ultimate and DC versions can be found here.
