The director's cut of Daredevil is excellent because it fixes the choppiness and awful editing of the original film. An entire sub-plot was removed for the sake of speeding things along (as was the awkward love scene with Elektra...which was forced into the film last minute because the film was premiering on a Valentine's weekend. Matt instead leaves Elekra on the roof to investigate a crime that leads to the removed and fully developed sub plot.)

The Director's cut of the Thomas Jane Punisher film was very similar, and followed the novelization much closer, including an alternate opening, a bit more violence during the Russian brawl, as well as a traitorous sub-plot, while trimming a bit of the romance between Frank and Joan. If both films had been left alone as the director saw them in the first place, I think they would be far more fondly remembered instead of being the butt of memes, scrutiny and worst top ten lists.
