I am really disappointed with Shippuden. It's extremely slow and even with that they keep adding filler episodes (even when the manga is years ahead from the anime). In the old episodes in 5-7 episodes they fight 2-3 times with Zabuza, in less than 10 episodes Naruto fights Gaara and the third Hokage Orochimaru, the fight between Naruto and Sasuke takes just a couple of episodes and the list keeps going. In Shippuden it took about 20 episodes for Sakura and Chiyo to beat Sasori while Kakashi and Naruto where following Deidara throughout this time. The fight between Naruto and Orochimaru that in the manga was just 3-4 pages, here stretched for 3-4 episodes. And I am not even going to mention the non fighting moments. SLOOOOOOOOOOOW and in most case pointless. Not only that but character development that was one of the strongest points in the first series came to a halt. You can't see any development in any of the characters while in the old episodes each and every one of them grew and matured (Naruto stopped being weak and useless, Sakura stop pitying herself, Sasuke changed from a bastard, to a friend and part of the team and from that to a back stabbing BASTARD, etc).
It's like what happened with DB and DBZ. The only thing you can wait now is just the battles. No humor, no drama no nothing
