The Mouth of Sauron was very nice, excepting the fact that his head was removed. I think Gandalf's power show from the book would have been better.
I'm glad they finally showed how that orc commander got axed. The Witch King's "battle" with Gandalf was superb, though honestly, I think they made him a bit to powerful. But twas still cool to see.
Amd yes I have to agree, a large part of Merry's lines seemed forced. Some fit, but not most of them. And uhm...avalanche of skulls...hmm..yeah.
And the more I hear him speak, the more I dislike Orlando's role as Legolas. He just doesn't sound right. Elrond didn't look right, but he sounded right. Vice Versa for Legolas.
All in all though, definitely worth the extra money.
Love is a very powerful force, especially when its formed into a coherent beam of death.
Gimli's parts in the etended edition were comical and Enjoyable. I liked the drinking contest.
Saruman died well but it still was a bit too soon. The extended pelinor fields were enjoyable and I still love the totally annoyed look Theoden gives the Witchking.

I have to agree with all of this post. I did not like how powerful the witchking was against Gandalf.
I did really enjoy the extra footage. I did like that Theoden got extra lines in the scene with Saruman. He was wonderful and it showed a lot about his character.

Not only did I not know it was coming out on the 10th here, and so didn't get it until the 11th, I also still have not watched all the extra scenes!! I must have hit myself on the head or something, because this is so not like me!! I must watch them now...
And I shall be back to report when I have!
Hee hee, she was really annoyed when me and our friend Rosie reminded her about it on the 11th. It was fun!

Sounds like someone has not been a good little hobbit. 
You must watch the DVD.
