The giants fighting was silly, the Goblin king was too overblown, Azog wasn't scary in the slightest (Gothmog was so much better) and the chase scenes dragged on to the point of tedium.
And the bunny-rabbit sleigh? Give me a ****ing break...
Saying that, Riddles in the Dark is one of the great pieces of cinema and the film as a whole was great. More selective editing and allowing WETA to do their thing with prosthetics more often would have made it a 10/10 as I loved all the lore stuff (even if it was fiddled with) but as it is it's a 7.5/10.

I wouldn't call it a rash - more like chafing.

A bit too silly and special effects driven.

I think two words have killed this movie for me: "orc nemesis"

To be fair, it's an orc nemesis from the books.

There actually was in Tolkein's mind, it is just contained in a different book. *NM*

If you haven't seen it, you really can't judge. It's not a big deal

I hated it, but I know I will be in the minority.

I think any of those changes need to be viewed with the question, "Did it make a better movie?"

Radagast? Bunny Sledge? Archrival Azog? The whole goblin cavern scene? It's a massacre alright. *NM*
