For example, Fili's death or Azog's death. Are they exactly the same? Is more blood inserted into these sequences?

Nothing past Dain's Coronation is added except for the little parts in the credits dedicated to Dave (I am very sorry, I cannot recall his last name) and Andrew Lesnie. I'm not sure if Christopher Lee got one too-I think he did I saw Gandalf mentioned, but I blinked and must of missed it.

I saw Nori at the part where they were throwing the ax around to each other. Ori was definitely there. I didn't see Dori though. I think Fili did get at least one "hero moment" during the chariot scene Hobbity Hobbit.

Except for Bolg's, his is a little more violent. But they all die in the same way, there is a tiny bit more blood, but nothing noticeable.

comes immediately after the funeral scene--could have been the same place and right after the company grieves...I'm a little fuzzy on that. Gandalf definitely doesn't have a speech per se.

to jump onto the ram and cut its traces free from the iron chariot. It is a pretty cool action sequence, but kind of short (of course ).

the movie is very strong and moving. Not all plots get completely wrapped up, but you are given more than enough to appreciate. This movie is WAY more dramatic then it's theatrical version! And very satisfying.

I saw Nori at the part where they were throwing the ax around to each other. Ori was definitely there. I didn't see Dori though. I think Fili did get at least one "hero moment" during the chariot scene Hobbity Hobbit. That scene was such a funny gag. If anyone hasn't explained it yet: the dwarves (Bofur, Nori, and Ori?) use a single axe to kill a bunch of orcs; one dwarf tosses it and it lands in an orc's skull, another dwarf grabs it and tosses it in the next skull... and it finally ends back in Bofur's hands, as he catches it just before it lands squarely in the middle of his forehead. Oops! Loved it. Very comical.

How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."

some quick specifics; 1, did Gandalf use his power and lightning to stop the friendly armies form fighting ala the book? 2. Did we see Radagast have any actions scenes aside form the staff pass over, like in DG or at the final battle? 3. Are there new shots of Saruman and elrond fighting ( more magic) 4. Does Gandalf use any magic at all? Thanks

my expectations weren't high--all I was expecting was the funeral, and since I got that, I feel it's OK. Still have lingering annoyance at unfinished plots, but that's a whole 'nother story... I felt the gore was ridiculous. I don't really care much about battle scenes so adding more blood and nastier-looking trolls is not a way to satisfy me. I felt that it was similar to ROTK, in that the battle scenes got overblown to the cost of the overall, more important major plotlines. However, we did get a number of character moments in the BOTFA EE, so that helped offset the grossness to some degree.

1 No 2 No 3 Galadriel shows different magic, but yes there are, and they are absolutely amazing! More flips and turns, Elrond jumping on a rock, there's a concept art that I remember that was the exactly the same as a shot in the movie. 4. Yes, he tries to, but it doesn't work. This is the same scene where Alfrid gets launched into a trolls mouth, he's busy trying to fix his staff and moving back as the troll tries to hit him, it isn't working and a coin falls out of the sack from the place that shall not be named, and hits the handle, setting off the catapult. I'm not sure if he used any other magic, I cannot remember I'll try and think over it.

Did we see Radagast have any actions scenes aside form the staff pass over, like in DG or at the final battle? 3. Are there new shots of Saruman and elrond fighting ( more magic) 4. Does Gandalf use any magic at all? Thanks 1. Gandalf did not stop the fighting; he tried to convince Dain it was a bad idea, just like in the TE. What stopped the fighting was the wereworms bringing the orcs to the field. 2. Radagast's only real new scene is the stand handover. He has the same exact screen time in the battle, and he appears briefly at the funeral. *correction* actually I think there was a new shot of Radagast's bunny sled flying over the battle. Can someone confirm? 3. There *might* have been some new shots of Saruman and Elrond fighting, but I think probably not. It's more likely I was just thrilled to see it on the big screen again after so long so it felt new. 4. Gandalf does not use any magic, BUT: he tries to. And thank you for asking, because I tried to add this into my summary post but the edit time had expired! Basically, it's tied to Alfrid's death, which I was actually pretty impressed by because of the poetic justice of it all. So, Gandalf is trying to use the staff to bring about some magic (to kill a giant troll, which is handily besting him), but because, as Radagast said previously, the staff was a little "dicky," it refused to do anything properly. Alfrid shows up, hanging in the payload of a ballista (oops?); one of the coins falls out of his blouse, landing on the lever on the ballista, sending Alfrid flying into the troll's mouth, choking the troll and killing Alfrid. So, Alfrid saves Gandalf. I repeat, Alfrid saves Gandalf.

I saw a disturbing amount for the warg chase, but everything was else was almost entirely bloodless. I remember the chariot flies into the air, and the spikes on the wheels cut off the trolls head and large amount of blood come out with that awful sound. Then the wargs also have lots of blood, the only other thing was rather subtle and in the theatrical version, when Azog's blood goes down the waterfall.
