Also, 2 continuity issues I have. First is Orcs talking orcish or black tongue (hard to tell what he was doing there) they didn't do it in the original trilogy, then that's all they do in the Hobbit. Second is Jackson using Orcs and Goblins as 2 different creatures. Fully admit as a kid I thought there was a difference, because of the style of writing in the hobbit vs. LOTR, cause the Goblins couldn't go out at the day, etc. But Tolkien himself said that they're essentially the same if not identical. There's no reason to muddy the waters there, cause then you have to explain why Gandalf would call them Moria Orcs in LOTR but not the Hobbit. Just bad writing form there.
