I think the best addition was Pipping singing. Normally, when PJ goes the opposite way to the book, I cringe, but his song (despite being a bit of a butchering of a hobbit walking song) added to the sense of hopelessness in the whole situation. It even left me scratching my head, "I'm sure Pippin doesn't sing there! But it was good! Maybe he does sing there? No, I'm sure he doesn't. Does he...?"
