The Elves didn't betray the Dwarves they just offered no aid (which is mentioned in the book)

Yes, but in the movie seems that this is the reason of the hatred between each other... and that's not the true, in the book this is a very very marginal event, in fact the dwarfs have no problem in Rivendell.

...as for The Brown wizard he was put in from the mass amount of notes there was on him, Tolkien had that draft chapter written and more but took it out as it was to dark for children in his opinion what with the animals and sickness.

In which note Tolkien wrote that Radagast has a funny hat, senile dementia, shit on his face and a sledge drawn by rabbits?

Over all I enjoyed the film as it was always going to be less epic than LOTR due to the story, Also riddles in the dark was done well :-D

Oh yes, I really enjoyed the movie too! I think it's a very good movie, I'm sure I will re-watch it again in the future, but it wasn't perfect, and I feel that the main reason is because it's too long.
