I wasn't even born. I too like the Director's Cut better.
And hey, in the modern spirit of hollywood only producing remakes and sequels, there'll be a new one coming.
BTW, I found Beasts of No Nation to be a pretty great movie, even if I winced through a lot of it. Idris Elba is one of my favorite actors, and he nails it in every scene.
