Worth the extra 20 minutes!
Peter Jackson's take on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece is exceptional for many reasons: his ability to shrink down the diverse source material (and for that matter the culture of Middle Earth) into a little more than 3 hours is an incredible accomplishment. To do it and retain the audience and narrative structure only adds to Jackson's achievement.
The first film also benefits from the more rich story-telling- particularly in the scenes with Kate Blanchett's Galadriel. The special effects are still marvelous to behold (even better on an HD TV), and the additional features will take weeks to get through.
Worth the wait (and cost) if you're thinking Blu-Ray.

Riders of Rohan!
What is so brilliant about this film -- probably the one which benefits the most from the additional scenes -- is how the overall story of the War of the Ring gets swept into the background of what would otherwise be an excellent stand-alone historical drama.
Another high point for Peter Jackson's trilogy is the music. The theme from Rohan is dramatically different, and yet thematically in-line with the rest of the trilogy (particularly the Shire). If one hadn't taken the time to notice the music in the first film, it adds weight to an already rich and diverse soundtrack.
About the only theme I find quite as moving is the lighting of the Beacons of Amon-Din.
Again, awesome special features, a rich and rewarding experience and worth the wait if you are upgrading to Blu-Ray.

Greatest film trilogy?
Working from the rich source material of J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson wraps up his Lord of the Rings Trilogy in spectular fashion with this film. If you are going to sit through any of these movies, you might as well take the extra time to enjoy the extended editions. Not only will these versions please Tolkien fans much more than the theatrical cuts, but the diverse selection of extras will take weeks to get through, even for the most devoted fan.
Looking forward to the Blu-Ray release upcoming in 2011!
