Just "why" on Kili x Tauriel
the rest was pretty good, stood a little closer to canon and fleshed out some good things like Laketown politics or Dol Guldur. Changing the Arkenstone to be an artifact that would allow Thorin to rule was a nice touch, as it actually made more sense than the canonical plot, which was "Find Smaug, Bring Burglar, ???, Profit!" Here they only wanted the Arkenstone, and with it could rally the Dwarves to fight off Smaug.
