Yeah. I like Tauriel, she was pretty hot, but other than that The Hobbit didn't feature her and she and Legolas were just there to lengthen the running time. That love story, what was the point in that, because Kili dies anyway so, no, he didn't get a chance to lose his virginity.

Legolas happens to be Thranduil's son, so it does make sense for him to be in there, even if he didn't have much purpose. But as a fan of Lord of the Rings, it's fun to see Orlando Bloom back in action, it was just awesome.

But that stunt he did on that crippling bridge while fighting Bolg in The Battle of the Five Armies was ridiculous. How is he able to step on those falling stones? It just ruins the film a little bit and makes it look like a video game. Other than that though, it was good to see Legolas back in action again.
