User blog comment:Halfelvenprincess19/So what do you think of Tauriel from The hobbit?/@comment-24.123.193.22-20141231201452

Could have been worse. I think they should have focussed more on who she was, as opposed to action sequences and love sequences. I did adore her whole "Are we not part of this world?" idealism. It was very appropriate for a young elf. As was her blatant moral conflict throughout much of the film.
