Sue reaches for a box of old photos and shelving falls on her.  Reed stretches to save her and Ben walks in on them looking romantic.  Johnny gets into the Baxter Building's elevator with a hot looking woman.  The woman takes her coat off and asks Johnny if it's hot.  We see the scene repeated three more times with different women. 3 minutes 67 minute mark: Ben's watching home movies of him pre-change with his former fiancee Deb.  Reed directs a team of people assembling machinery in his lab. 1 minute. 70 minute mark: Panorama of magazine covers with the team's photos; Sue tells Reed they are getting all kinds of letters from people asking for help. 1 minute 78 minute mark: Reed uses the "cure" on one of the cosmic flowers and it fries. 1 minute 81 minute mark: Reed and Storm at the planetarium and kiss. At the shore having the conversation (remember this was the place I first asked you for a date?) Reed turns his face into Wolverine rather than "strong jaw." 2 minutes 84 minute mark: Ben walking around the city sees a bust of himself in a store window.  Meets Alicia who asks Ben to take her on a date to her art gallery unveiling.  She dusts him and gives him a spounge bath.  We see puppets and Alicia tells Ben they belong to her step-father.  She tells Ben he needs to "dare to be different." 3 minutes 88 minute mark: Von Doom tracks down Johnny and asks him into his limo.  Surrounded by beautiful women in the car, Von Doom tells Johnny he wants to put money into the team to make video games and action figures. Von Doom wants to make Johnny a "star." 2 minutes 90 minute mark: Alicia and Ben attend a gallary opening.  People whisper about how ugly the Thing is and he starts to hear people laughing at him.  He leaves the party. 1 minute 95 minute mark: Leonard, Von Doom's assistant, finds Ben to bring him back to the Baxter Building for the cure. Johnny is showing off in a night club and tries to pick up a woman.  When the woman's boy friend shows up Johnny "flames" his drink trying to prove his superiority.  The woman shames Johnny by telling him if she had his powers she would be out helping people, not performing cheap tricks in a club. 2 minutesSo that's the additions I could find.  No extended battle scenes, just more character development which would have tied the movie's story a little better.  Was it worth the wait?  The extra scenes weren't worth it, but I think all the additions made it a much better value.  Maybe one of these days I'll watch it with the comments!</blockquote>
