I forget how it's explained in the book

But wouldn't they just explain it the same way?

Balrog of Moria? Do the swirling flames behind Thorin at what appears to be The East Moria Gate herald a Demon of Might?

Just more Orcs would do a similar job.

I think so. I think if they play it right, the victory, beyond hope, over Smaug, will

No. If it were just a matter of more orcs, the Dwarves simply wouldn't have won the battle.

It isn't personal. Go back and read the appendix on Durin's folk.

Yes. In the books The Wise only knew that "A Terror" dwelt there, and many of the Elves of Lothlorien

But I believe the wise were aware of the full nature of the Balrog

I hope not. The Balrog should be woken up by the presence of Gandalf (in FOTR) and the rising power of the Ring.

No, you have to refer to the movies, not the book. Movies first, book second.

Though Tolkien always portrayed The Balrog as the strong silent type.

Several things could be at play. The Greatest of The Seven Rings not least among them.

Just clarified this for myself. Balin almost certainly thought The Ring (Durin's Ring) was in Moria.
