Title: 2 Discs / Branching?
Review: OK, here's the problem. Great concept, bad execution. Two disc set alledgedly holding both the theatrical and the extended films. One would assume this 2 disc set was one disc holding each version of the film. Well, one would be WRONG!! This "branching" is basically like using a laserdisc where it will cause an intermission where you must get your lazy but up and switch the discs. In some DVD players, when you change the discs, it even makes you reset the audio for bloody sake! less than 1/2 the theatrical version is on the first disc along with less than 1/2 the extended version. The second disc is the remainder of both films! haven't we come far enough with technology to be able to put one entire theatrical film on one disc and one entire extended film on another disc?? On a good note, the conceptual art for these covers looks amazing. I may end up being trapped in Peter Jackson's "shelob's web" anyway! : )
Is the review positive or negative?
