Not really. Other than Radagast most of that stuff they added is from the appendices.

The Soviets made their own version of The Hobbit. It is beyond terrible. We're talking Manos: Hands of Fate territory here.

With reports like this, you could work for Alex Jones or the Weekly World News.

You're only saying that because you intend to go back and see it again a billion times and you want the lines to be shorter.

Apparently, Tolkiens son hates these movies and what Jackson has done...
"I could write a book on the idiotic requests I have received," sighs Christopher Tolkien. He is trying to protect the literary work from the three-ring circus that has developed around it. In general, the Tolkien Estate refuses almost all requests. "Normally, the executors of the estate want to promote a work as much as they can," notes Adam Tolkien, the son of Christopher and Baillie. "But we are just the opposite. We want to put the spotlight on that which is not Lord of the Rings." The Tolkien Estate was not able to prevent an American cartoon called Lord of the Beans, but a comic-strip version of it was halted. This policy, however, has not protected the family from the reality that the work now belongs to a gigantic audience, culturally far removed from the writer who conceived it. Invited to meet Peter Jackson, the Tolkien family preferred not to. Why? "They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25," Christopher says regretfully. "And it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film." This divorce has been systematically driven by the logic of Hollywood. "Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time," Christopher Tolkien observes sadly. "The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away." http://www.worldcrunch.com/culture-s.../#.UO34H-RQXCn

As you may or may not know, Tolkien's estate fought a long, hard and bitter battle over the movie rights, trying to block both LoTR and The Hobbit from being made into movies. There's really nothing to say other than that Christopher Tolkien hates not controlling every bit of his father's literary work. I really don't care for him at all.
