If you are using any custom fields, you will need to re-order your fields. The comment textarea field is now content-managed, but added to the top of your form, instead of the bottom as is currently the case. Simply re-order your form fields in Settings > Comments Form after the update.

If you are using custom templates, consider reading the new Custom Templates documentation.
