am i the only one who is bothered by every orc being 2 meters tall? considering in source material orcs reaching 1.70 considered very tall and terrifying , most of the foot soldiers of uruks would be around 1.60 and regular orcs would be alot less, considering orcs outnumbered them 1 to 3 , you would think it would be impossible to win without better fighting force..
also the portrayal of lake men also sucked hard , they were all shown as peasants and fisherman , there were like 200-300 of them at most , but in the source material they were the largest portion of the allied army numbered between 2-3 thousand , they were also better fighters and were better equipped , considering they were living in one of the most dangerous places of the time and had just fought off a dragon bravely (unlike shown in the movies) they deserved more credit in my opinion
the ending also lacked alot of closure , they didnt say who became the king under the mountain , they didnt say what bard did with his people , they didnt tell arkenstone's fate etc..
Edit: almost forgot , thorins and companions part in the battle was also terribly done , and beorns deeds were also forgotten
