You can show the differences between two revisions with

hg diff -r REV1:REV2

Where you can supply local revision numbers, hashes, branch names, etc.

Also, before pulling from a remote host you can do:

hg incoming SOURCE

Which will show new changesets from SOURCE that you don't have yet, but
without pulling them.
