I couldn't get past Legolas and his new eyes. Brutal.
Bard looked more like LOTR Legolas than Legolas did.

Like I said before, despite many of LOTR's (film) shortcomings, Jackson all in all did an excellent job. I love some of the subtleties he added specifically for fans of the books. For instance, in FOTR during the Balrog battle, Gandalf was visibly worn out before we even see the Balrog. That is because Gandalf and the Balrog are both on the same hierarchy of angels (see OP) and they were mind battling before the physical battle happened.
Many of LOTRs shortcomings were simply a function of bringing a book to screen, and I don't blame Jackson for it's many flaws. But the Hobbit? Jeezus. I wanted to puke at the end of the movie lol.
