I agree about what you said concerning Aragorn, except that I expect the Palantir scene will be included in the extended edition. It was mentioned the movie companion.

While we're discussing changes, I've been rereading FotR, and i didn't realize how much Frodo's departure from the Shire was changed for the movie: i.e. Pippin, Sam and Frodo encountering Nazgul twice before reaching Crickhollow, and meeting Farmer Maggot. Ah, well.
