This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   The company is grateful to the elves in Rivendell for providing shelter, food and safety. The dwarves are not grateful and complain to Gandalf about sharing room with Elves.
   Galadriel does not appear. She does.
   Thorin is hostile and petty toward Bilbo. He personally doesn't believe Bilbo is cut out for the journey. He is always mocking his life back in the shire. They have several verbal battles.
   Thorin is not attractive. He is greedy and an inexperienced and bumbling leader of men. He is presented as a fallen hero. He doesn't look as bad as the other dwarves.
   Thorin wants to kill Smaug to get the gold. He wants to reclaim his homeland and get revenge for his ancestors.
