I didn't like it. Deviated way too much from the book. No characterization, Bilbo wasn't still acquiring his courage and becoming a BA(the whole theme of the book), he already was brave and a BA. Legolas was in the movie just for the sake of putting Legolas in the movie. And the inclusion of Tauriel was just superfluous.
