http://forums.cardesignnews.com - That tale still has not quite captivated (it usually amounts to the professional screaming at a large, evil ink-blot), and it could be recommended that more screentime might have been usefully given to the dwarves, who remain mostly unidentified. Besides Thorin (Richard Armitage), whose act of upper class is beginning to drop apart, revealing baser reasons below, the only one who gets much attention is Kili (Aidan Turner), competitive with a arriving returning Legolas (Orlando Bloom) for the initiatives of auburn-haired elf ninja Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly). As really like triangles go, it’s fairly rote — and might have been more amazing were Kili not the one little who looks like an elf anyway — but Tauriel, a character developed for the film who is already got some Tolkienites warp speed, matches quickly into the world and gets to execute several pleasingly extreme orc-kills: at aspects, the film’s one arrow-in-the-head away from changing into The Raid.
