I love Legolas, I really do. But damn, he's getting a ton of scenes for never having been in The Hobbit. Also, Tauriel. Ugh. WHY?
Yeah. There was no need to make three movies from The Hobbit and they're trying to pad it out, and it's just a bit awkward. The White Council was fine, because it was in the books and explains where Gandalf went whenever he disappeared, though I just liked him being an enigma in the book. This Tauriel business smacks of trying to shoehorn in a love story. Aragorn/Arwen worked well, especially because Jackson dropped the ridiculous idea to have her show up at Helm's Deep. This is just... Peter, son, what the smurf are you doing?

I love this world and I want to see more of it but.... ahh, I don't know. I want to like it. I truly do. I really, really want to like it.
