I actually love that seen with his dad at the end. Aragorn is badass and I liked the foreshadowing. It also made the Council of Elrond more interesting, which I watched as soon as I got home from watching the Hobbit. Legolas clearly knew Aragorn by then and appeared old friends with him, even defending him to Boromir.

There are definitely some changes that i like about the series:

1. The quest is to simply steal the Arkenstone. In the book, it was unclear as to the true motive other than get the treasure.
2. They fleshed out the happenings at Dol Guldur. The book alludes to events, but doesn't get into detail.
3. The elf king sending Legolas out to find Aragon completes the circle on that story.

They drilled some key scenes: Bilbo and Golem in the cave and Bilbo and Smaug. The blew some other scenes: escape from the goblin caves, the escape from the woodland elves, and the battle of five armies was bad. They royally fricked up Beorn. Not sure why they even had him in the film.
