Oh and what happened to the Arkenstone? last we saw of it, Bard had it in his hands. Yet no mention of it after that... the heart of Erebor which was built up over 3 films. After Thorin dies, there's no funeral, and no discussion of who becomes king under the mountain, and no discussion of what happened to all that gold everyone was so worried about.
Well, Dain Ironfoot took over as King under the mountain. The arkenstone was placed in the tomb with Thorin. But I know that from the books. You're right, it wasn't covered in the movie. That was a little upsetting. Maybe the extended edition will show us this. I read somewhere that this one was edited down a lot.
ETA: The fate of some of the other dwarves were actually covered in LOTR. Remember the tomb in Moria?

over saturation of CGI
I understand this complaint, but I thought they did a pretty excellent job with it.

You have 13 dwarves in the hobbit who are very underdeveloped.
To be fair, they weren't all that developed in the book either.

If I'm not mistaken the 3rd film as about a half hour shorter than the other 2 and I think the last half hour could have been used more wisely.
In the book Balin and Gandalf come to visit Bilbo some years later and they inform him of such developments at Erebor since their adventure. Could have been an easy and quick way to let non-readers know what happened and tie off that loose end (plus it'd be accurate to the book)
