Big turn off for me.
It taints the Elves as modern-day war-criminals. yes, in Medieval times normal, but I picture the Elves being noble. They took pity on Gollum and just held him prisoner. My heart tells me even Orcs/Goblins would be imprisoned if captured by Elves.
Kings don't normally conduct executions either. They have a 'King's Justice' for that.
A second one for me was literally 0% black blood.
Pathetic! The did it
again! They were willing to in TLotR films, but not The Hobbit films as well. Why?
While the last half hour re-writing inside the Mountain was interesting in one sense, stadier compliance with the book would have sufficed, as well as the rest generally.
I was also disappointing the enchanted river crossing part in Mirkwood was excluded. Come ON! That's like 5 minutes at most surely!
