I think those "Captain Obvious" lines are meant to be for the benefit of audience members who haven't been paying attention.

But as for your main point– no, it's not unusual in adaptations for "cool" lines to be given to a different character, sometimes in a context which changes the meaning altogether.

HY every one how are you here i am sharing some information with you.

Galadriel: It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for a new ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.
