is the 124 minute version optimal?

Watched it on Netflix for the first time and loved it, but just saw here on IMDb that it's 155 minutes. Is the 124 minute version the best or would it be much better to watch the 155 min. cut?

Neither. Go find a copy of The Director's Cut. It runs at 174 minutes, but much like how I feel about the Priest cutting out the films at the beginning of the movie, I just cannot imagine watching this edited down. So if you can spare that time for the extra 50 minutes that were taken away, go back and watch!
