Looks great.
yeah. really breaks the pixie and goblin illusion.
Although, having the daughter of Helm Hammerhand be a redhead is certainly...a choice.
There were only three characters who explicitly had red hair, and it was very important as to who they were.
The only three characters in the entire Tolkien universe were Amrod, Amras and Maedhros, three sons of Feanor, all who had absolutely tragic and terrible fates.
Is this a foreshadowing?

This is Peter Jackson's Middle-earth, and there have already been multiple redheads in both his trilogies. So I wouldn't read anything into it.
Orcs and elves are fine, but I draw the line at redheads.
Is all this something you already knew, or did you somehow look it up? Your answer determines whether this gets filed under 'terrifying' or 'mildly amusing'.
I've read the Silmarillion multiple times so yeah, I knew it already, why would it be terrifying?
Oh yeah I forgot about the existence of Tauriel.
But outside of redhead dwarves (who I don't consider part of "Children of Eru" because it was technically Aule going against the will of Eru) I don't recall any other redhead characters in the trilogies?
Tolkien generally wasn't hugely descriptive when it comes to characters (especially in the Sil). And yeah I was referring to the dwarves; i really don't think PJ went that deep with it.
My preference is now to see this in Japanese with subtitles.
This is good.
I was in the presence of this god amongst men at the premiere tonight:

How was this? Want to go see it but don’t want to end up being disappointed.
Disappointed in the reviews but I'm hoping to see it over the Xmas period - unfortunately it's already down to 1 showing per day at Vue and isn't even on at my local Odeon or Cineworld...
