They've beefed up the music and voices as well. If you were at all a fan of the original or never got to play it and enjoyed some other LucasArts or Telltale adventure games pick it up. The dialog still holds up well, and while it does have the obligatory Adventure game insanity when it comes to puzzles I always thought the MI games toned that down quite a bit from say making a fake mustache out of cat hair and maple syrup.
It's only $10 also, so great value. I suggest buying it so Lucasarts gets the idea and does this to several of the older games. I'd absolutely love to see Maniac Mansion get this treatment, and I think it would also hold up extremely well, as would Day of the Tentacle.

I played through the 1st episode of the new Monkey Island game and its pretty solid. Sticks to the original formula pretty well although its really hard to grade since its just the first of a 5 part series.
