Yeah I agree completely. I actually view the removal of the White Council storyline as a negative. Adapting The Hobbit as a book on its own was never on the table, and giving us more detail about what was going on concurrently with it was a great idea. The execution wasn't great, although in my opinion this part of it is actually executed quite well.
Legolas running up the collapsed bridge...
Like, I get it, Jackson was trying to play up that elves are literally superhuman, walking on top of snow and such, which didn't really make it into the movies, but Legolas wasn't that kind of elf and it's a bit late to introduce it, even after Negative Zone Galadriel.
not a super-fan but I do remember Legolas walking on top of the snow when they climb the mountain before being forced into the mines in the first movie
