''The script was bad, the jokes were cheap, the one black woman was a living stereotype, and  the special effects were less than thrilling. It's also important to remember that the only reason they remade Ghostbusters was because feminists declared the original one to be sexist and that there needed to be more female-based super teams. I don't even have to explain why remaking ghostbusters for those reasons was an idiotic thing to do.

Also, Tauriel was not in the book. She was only added because feminists deemed Tolkien's work sexist (Remember when I said the word "sexist" no longer had any meaning?) and demanded that they add female characters. I would've been able to look past her inclusion if it didn't take soooo much attention away from Bilbo baggins, the rightful main protagonist of the story. The novel was originally focused on the character development of Bilbo transitioning from a lazy hermit to a brave, legendary adventurer. This was only barely touched on in the films because Tauriel and Legolas (Who were not in the book) were off having their own little adventures in the meantime.

Feminism, poilitical correctness, and social justice ruin movies without knowing it. They put racial diversity and "girl power" before all other things, and that is not ok. Let's not kid ourselves. Tauriel was added to boost the run time and to give male audience members someone attractive to stare at. The sex appeal and the romance is the only reason she's female.

Also, just because something is a departure from its source material doesn't mean it's bad. Case in point, JURASSIC F***DAMN PARK! The Hobbit trilogy would've been an unfocused trainwreck with or without Tauriel
