The original 1984 release of this film is actually pretty interesting. unlike people, I actually read the book before I saw this movie. The film does do a really good job of certain scenes in the book. As for the people that recommend you see the "uncut" full 190-minute version, it's not worth it. The "new" footage includes loads of repeated sequences(particularly during both the battles) and does not add much to the film(unless you consider Feyd stuffing an insignia into the Doctor's mouth adding to the plot). The introduction at the beginning is long and includes stuff thats barely mentioned in the book. The 190-minute version also edits out scenes from the original that were "too graphic." So if you have a choice between original and uncut, don't waste your time on the uncut(you'll probably gain an extra hour of sleep).
