They added stuff that was from the appendices which technically in the book. i just don't like the obvious money grab tactic of splitting it into 3 movies. some of the scenes were really dragged out because of it. I really feel they could have done justice to the book by making only 2 films (like they had originally planned). I did still enjoy the piece. It was fairly well done considering the whole dragging out/introduction movie. I don't know how the 3rd part is going to turn out considering the desolation of Smaug is in the next one and they really only have 2 major battles left.
