The way PJ handled the Army of the Dead is beyond much reclamation (it was absurd, presumably done for cgi purposes and to save movie time, by not having south Gondorians and Dunedain involved) but.........
If the above is correct there are numerous improvements
1) For once, PJ and friends intelligently rearranged events to carry the gist of the confrontations with Saruman at Orthanc and the Shire, rather smart to replace his killing Lobelia's son with Theodred)
2) There is at least a minimum of significance now to the charge of the Rohirrim (saving Gandalf), since in the theater version the Ghostbusters green slime could have destroyed Sauron's boys anyway, without the Rohirrim.
3) Numerous nice bits of Frodo and Sam's trek seem to be in.
This is an example of a meaningful addition in a dvd to a theatrical release.
