Really? I need to pay attention to that if/when I go to see it again!

Exactly: that was one of the things I was positively surprised about because I thought they'd skip it.

I was wondering about Bolg and Dáin too. I wonder if Bolg will appear at all, and if they will botch Dáin's coming (because in the book it's hard not to like him immediately, and despite all the sadness it's kind of happy that he becomes the king instead of Thorin)...
