Tauriel is a great addition the universe of these films. I'm really quite surprised to see so much backlash. Evangeline Lilly is great and was perfect casting opposite Orlando Bloom. These films NEEDED a character like her to join the cast of characters. Otherwise, this trilogy would have only had one prominent female character. That simply wouldn't have worked. I for one am glad for the addition.
Those of you arguing against the addition of the character would have really preferred a film which only had some Hobbits, Dwarves, and Orcs in it? And no female character at all? This would have been bad on multiple levels.
