I've watched most of the two appendix discs over the last couple evenings and must say that I'm thrilled with all the extra content. They go into more depth than any other DVD set I've seen about the process of making the film. I haven't even gotten around to watching the added footage in the movie yet, but I can't imagine being disappointed.

I'm having a hard time figuring out where your disappointment lies....because there are alot of discs? There's a lot of content. Like 7 hours on the two appendix discs besides the movie in several languages and several commentaries.

Please elaborate more on what exactly is disappointing.

BTW...I agree that this should have been the only DVD release...they shouldn't have bothered with the first one. I think that was a New Line decision and not a directors decision.
