I think they should've axed Legolas or just used him in a cameo role and given more time to Tauriel. It seemed so pointless, making an original character and then not really utilizing her full potential. I'm also not a fan of Legolas' fight scenes that defy the laws of physics. Once per movie is pushing it, frankly, and after ROTK and him skating off a Mûmakil's trunk, I'd had enough. I didn't want to see more of that in The Hobbit movies, which already felt too over the top.

I thought it was a poor decision to save Smaug's death for the third film. I understand why they thought it would be a good idea, but it just didn't work. The second movie felt too open ended, IMO, and the third movie was too rushed. It seemed like they had to hurry up and kill off Smaug to get to the real action and it wasn't the climactic moment it should have been. Way to undermine all the build up of DoS. Ditto Thorin's death, which was even more anti climactic. It sounds funny to say this, but I'm not sure the movie benefitted from seeing his fight firsthand. Like a lot of the battle scenes, it went on a bit too long and a bit too predictably so when he finally dies you feel more relief than grief.


Beorn... I didn't like the overall design. You're right, as the bear, he looked more warg-like than a bear. Aren't bears intimidating/majestic/terrifying enough on their own? Look at a Kodiak grizzly, ffs. His human look was even less impressive. When I think a bear-like man, I think someone with very broad shoulders, built like a barrel. This guy?

Look at him. Ridiculously fake hair/nose prosthetic and it looks like he's wearing a braided rug as a vest. SO disappointing. I don't think I'd be as hard on the films if LOTR had been so meticulously good about their character, costume and set designs. The attention to detail was incredible and it really showed in the final product. Peter Jackson admitted that pre-production was more rushed on The Hobbit and you can tell. It looks very ersatz in comparison.
