Thanks to good ole' Walmart, I got my version a day early and watched it last night. I always thought the Two Towers movie was not as good as Fellowship, and I give the new scenes a B+. It almost had an A, but let me tell you why it gets a B+ (scroll down)

All scenes were great until Faramir and the rangers of Ithilien. It shows them "roughing up" Gollum, in a VERY brutal fashion. Even Faramir later joins in. That really takes away from his character, which they were starting to do a good job of building up. He's not Tony Soprano.
The scene in Gondor was ALL wrong. Osgiliath falling because of Faramir and won back by Boromir? I don't think so. Plus how would "rumors that the ring of power has been found reach GOndor"? Ummm, no.
Finally, please do away with all the stupid anachronisms. Gimli says, "my axe is embedded in his nervous system"!!!!
But the scenes with the orcs were great, the extended battles were great, and Burnam Wood coming to Dunsinane was great.
What did you guys think?
