Specifically? That would be Aragorn's personality.

They produced the unwilling hero and put it in place of the man with full knowledge of his mission and heritage. That's why I doubt they will give Thorin a proper dwarf king personality. There will be misplaced exaggerations to compensate for their inability to portray book's Thorin and to make the cute Thorin seem less weak.
Even then it should be expected that they will make some good choices regarding Thorin the same way they did with Viggo's Aragorn. And I believe the movies will be very good though they will feel more artificial because many actors will be recycling previous roles and because of the technology choices.
