I'm picking up that
bats are important.
We get to have a big showdown in Dol Guldur...
Lots of cheezy one-liners...
Continued march of the Arkenring through Thorin's personality...
Fili (possibly dying) gives his silly rock to elf lady (or maybe it is Kili, even I can't keep them straight)...
Bilbo attempts to recreate Aragorn's (over-rated in my opinion) inspirational speech from
RotK...
Orcs somehow look worse and more cgi than ever (one of them even seemed to bend in un-natural and physically impossible ways like a stretchyorc).
Did anybody see anything that surprised them?
