What's with all the hate? Lighten up. Even if Legolas doesn't appear, Desolation would be watched by the fans. His character isn't just for show, or to bring fangirls; on my part, even though I really love Legolas, I still find the rest of the mive entertaining.

As for Tauriel's character, she looks fine: a typical elf warrior, probably. Since she was an Oc, I can't say much. What I dislike on her role is her potential romantic parts with Kili, which looks kind of impossible based on the trailer.

Anyway, I'm not saying your opinion is wrong; i respect it. Just want to lighten things up.
