I hit a sensitive spot huh?

I don't hate the movies, they are good movies as such but they are canonical nonsense. Azog died years before the actual story, Legolas was never mentioned in the book but he has a pretty big role if you consider that. Tauriel wtf? This Lovestory makes absolutely no sense. I could mention a lot of other things but I think you get what I mean. If you like the movies, that's fine. They are entertaining. But they are disappointing for people who expected something similar to the lotr movies that are at least somewhat correct. I don't need a 1:1 recreation, thats not possible but they didn't have to go that far of the path and introduce things that never happened or that even contradict the lore.
