Oh it is! They've changed the prologue slightly, and the opening sequence with the Hobbits. There are several new scenes, and extra bits that go a long way to fleshing out some of the characters more on-screen. It's a dream.
Do go rent a copy. The documentaries are inspiring as well. I knew it took a lot of work to make these films, but I had no idea of the absolutely massive scale of the projects. My respect for the cast and crew of LotR has gone through the sky.
