Kili has a beard! It's a short beard rather than a long one, but he's got a full mustache and beard. Fili's beard is rather short as well. I think this may be to demarcate them as being the "youngsters" in the group.

Fili has a beard, but I would call what Kili has a three-day stubble.

There was something about Radagast that reminded me of The Regent in Babylon 5, another apparently foolish but actually pretty smart character. I think that's why the goofiness didn't bother me as much as it might have otherwise.

Yep on the Scouring. I suppose he might be saving that for subsequent movies...

Overall I preferred the LOTR movies to this one, but I might come to feel differently.

I don't see how the Scouring could be done in the future. Saruman and Wormtongue died at Orthanc.

Jackson chose to present the Scouring as a vision of a possible future, which has now been closed off by the actions taken in the present. And frankly, I think he made the right choice.
